Centralized, rapid access to documents within bisTrack
Scan Track is tightly integrated with bisTrack so that scanning and document management are controlled directly from bisTrack. Whether working with an imported document image or one scanned from a TWAIN scanner, Scan Track makes it easy to scan, approve, store, find, preview, print, sort and manage documents.

Documents that a typical LBM dealer or distributor might scan include:

1.

Customer purchase orders.

2.

Signed documents, e.g. collection notes from the counter, signed delivery notes.

3.

Incoming supplier invoices and credit notes.

4.

General documentation, e.g. signed customer terms and conditions, supplier price lists, scanned product images.

5.

Outgoing legal documents, e.g. sales invoices.



Scan Track lets you scan and manage documents within bisTrack.
Its barcode recognition lets you associate scanned documents,
such as signed delivery notices, with the original document in bisTrack.
Barcodes identify, trace and unite documents within bisTrack
Scan Track supports barcode recognition and can detect barcodes printed on bisTrack documents using a Windows® font.

To have an easily accessible copy of signed documents, such as Collection Notes or Proof of Delivery, signed document are scanned and automatically linked to the original document in bisTrack. Later, for example, users of bisTrack’s Advanced Accounts Receivables package can send copies of the signed documents with month-end Customer Statements to speed collections and decrease incoming customer calls.

To store and track incoming documents by barcode, barcode label are adhered to the incoming document, such as a purchase order or supplier invoice, and scanned for easy retrieval in bisTrack. Scan Track links the barcoded document with the relevant document in bisTrack.

Scan Track is available immediately in both the UK and North America, and can be purchased together with a new bisTrack system, or as an add-on to an existing system.
