FlexiCapture for PO’sDot’s FlexiCapture Needs:● In 2008, Dot needed to automate inbound faxed PO’s
for customers who couldn’t use EDI or flat files● We wanted our CSR’s to get away from data entry and
concentrate on customer service

Dot’s FlexiCapture Project
● Faxed PO’s come in through FastFax to CSR’s as PDF’s. ● The CDR then drops the PO into a HotFolder on their desktop
for ABBYY to process.● Recognition automatically runs, and the batch is then sent to
our Order Entry Department for Verification.● When the batch is completed, the data is exported to a flat file
that is automatically written into our back end system as if it was a traditional EDI PO.
