Imagine this, it's end of month and you are drowning in hardcopy documents that need to be processed, distributed and archived urgently. 

You have valuable staff and resources tied down to processing and scanning hardcopy invoices, supplier invoices, picking slips, delivery dockets and purchase orders. This process can be long, tedious and costly to your business. 

Toshiba has a solution that removes the headache and frustration but gives back in the form of time savings and freeing up valuable staff resources. 

It's called e-BRIDGE Capture & Store. This solution digitises documents and improves efficiencies by creating intuitive workflows tailored to your business needs and automatically archiving them in the required file repository in the cloud or your local server. This saves space and the documents can be easily retrieved with a click of a button, not to mention that this is also cost-effective.  

It follows three simple steps, Capture, Process & Store. 

3 SIMPLE STEPS

Capture

e-BRIDGE Capture & Store allows administrators to create automatic workflows through an easy-to-use web-based server interface. This allows users to quickly and easily set extensive workflows in motion. Seamless integration with Toshiba Multi-Function Devices converts paper based documents through its powerful OCR functionality into digital format to be automatically processed in the workflow

Not to mention digital documents that you receive by e-mail are quickly and automatically picked up and processed. This means you no longer have to process documents manually, saving you time, preventing manual errors and increasing efficiency.

Process

Correctly naming and indexing documents is essential, so that you can quickly find them at a later date. With e-BRIDGE Capture & Store it gives you various index options to select. It is also possible to name and index automatically, without user intervention.

The built-in Optical character Recognition (OCR) functionality makes it possible to create documents that you can search, edit and archive. With zonal OCR and barcode recognition, specified data of a document is read, such as an invoice number or customer number. This information is then automatically saved with the document.

While processing documents, you can read information and add data in the form of annotations, stamps and barcodes.

Every organisation is unique when it comes to processing documents. For that reason, e-BRIDGE Capture & Store can be customised to your liking via a powerful scripting language and optional modules.

Store

After scanning and processing, the document must be stored in the desired location. The integration with business application(s) is completed by means of connectors. These connectors ensure that documents and their associated metadata are easily and correctly stored in your system, such as SharePoint, Google Drive,

OneDrive, Salesforce, MYOB, M-Files and others. It is also possible to save simultaneously to different and/or multiple destinations, so you can take full advantage of a modern digital document workflow.

The e-BRIDGE Capture & Store Server is scalable and easily grows with specific needs. A wide variety of optional connectors and modules are available for creating customised workflow solutions.

Running under Virtualization

e-BRIDGE Capture & Store server is supported in the most common virtual hardware environments, such as Microsoft Hyper-V, Oracle VM VirtualBox, VMWare and QEMU.

Hardware Recommendations

The hardware requirements for the e-BRIDGE Capture & Store server will depend greatly on the operating system selected, desired performance and workload placed onto it. Suggested configurations are as follows:

Many components in the e-BRIDGE Capture & Store server are multithreaded, or designed to run as a separate process. Therefore these components may benefit from multicore-enabled operating systems and hardware; the client communication process and various CPU-intensive functions (such as the optical character recognition module) are examples of such components.
