The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and what better way to demonstrate the potential value of VMR's service than to use real life examples?

Financial Company
A well known company has a large volume run at the end of each month - in excess of 60,000 statements, some of which are up to 30 pages long. Until this work was transferred to VMR the company was obliged to devote 3-4 days of their accounting staff time to handle the print and dispatch of the statements. The work was labour intensive, with considerable cost associated with the production and dispatch.

Now the company simply downloads the output from their accounts' software by file transfer and, once received, VMR process the file and produces the statements in both electronic and print forms.

The electronic statements are routed through VMR's in-house email/fax systems and the remaining printed statements produced, inserted and mailed.

Each printed statement is barcoded and so a full audit trail is available for tracking every document separately. The receiver's records are tagged as to whether they prefer delivery by email, fax or post. In the event that a delivery fails, (eg an incorrect email address), VMR's systems automatically selects the second choice method of delivery.

The procedure includes "intelligent" documentation dispatch. For example, if the statement for a number of branches needs to be consolidated and sent to the Head Office, VMR treats them accordingly. Another example is the situation where a statement is too long one month to be sent by fax; the system automatically chooses the most appropriate alternative.

The result of using VMR is that the client has freed up a considerable amount of staff time and processes its business more efficiently. In terms of cost it estimates to have saved £72,000 pa on production and £50,000 pa on staff time.

Industrial Conglomerate
An industrial conglomerate uses VMR to process and deliver a range of accounting documentation electronically. These include remittance advices, chaser letters and monthly statements. VMR deals with multiple divisions in different countries, with multiple users in each division. The requirements from each division vary considerably from only 2-3 documents to 5000 or more. The system is used on demand several times a day as needed.

The customer has benefited from efficient administration, increased staff productivity and improved customer relations.
