Cost Benefits of Document Management Software

Problem: Your business is busier than ever, but you can't afford the time or money it takes to withhold all of your crucial documents and data. Your business needs to determine a cost effective way to manage documents, files, reports, bills, and have quick access to such data at anytime.

Solution: Implementing a Document Management System such as PinPoint will help you not only organize your documents, but will also save you both time and money on labor costs. On top of that, imagine the environmental benefit of using little to no paper at all.

Crunching the Numbers:

The average business document is copied 19 times – Over 81 billion sheets of paper are copied each month.
There are over 4 trillion paper documents in the U.S. alone – growing at a rate of 22% per year.
U.S. Banks have over 16 billion paper documents on file, growing at a rate of 4% per year – 80% of the documents are suitable for imaging.
Over $5 billion each year is wasted on printed materials that become obsolete before they are ever used.
