Reduce Costs

Reduce operating costs (storage, retrieval,
photocopying, and administration).

Searching for paper documents in a traditional filing system can result in a waste of resources that is seriously detrimental to a company’s success. PaperWise clients across the United States have discovered that the thousands of dollars they used to spend on storage and courier retrieval, extra labor to locate documents, time wasted searching for poorly filed or lost documents and even more resources to recreate them. According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, most companies spend $20 in labor to file each document, $120 searching for misfiled documents. One in 20 documents is lost and it takes 25 hours to recreate a lost document. With PaperWise, a document is never lost or damaged.

In most business environments, a document has to be copied an average of 19 times. With PaperWise, a document hardly has to be photocopied or even printed because it is easily available to everyone in the office simultaneously.
