The digital age has increased the pace at which business is conducted. Companies need quick access to working documentation to maintain a competitive edge. Document management applications have proven to be an effective solution to this growing problem.

Capture Plus, a Transym OCR partner, is a leading provider of affordable document management solutions for a wide range of customers.

“As the value leader in capture solutions, we needed a cost effective but reliable OCR engine that kept pace with the flexibility and power of our solution – especially for operator unattended processes,” says Randall Kochis, CEO of Westchester based CCI.

Capture Plus was designed in an “open architecture” environment to leverage free tools from Microsoft and Adobe. There was a strong requirement to maintain the integrity of their strategy and avoid any proprietary technology.

Transym OCR’s flexible, non invasive technology was the ideal solution.

“We use TOCR to perform zone OCR and then perform lookups and extraction of data from any accounting system database,” explains Kochis. “Zone OCR is also very useful for creating other automated flows which preclude the need for any manual indexing.”

This is a very popular application for wholesale distributors who perform zone OCR on their invoice and order numbers in order to validate against the data within their accounting system. This can involve large numbers of documents being batch processed, so a reliable solution that can work uninterrupted is essential.

TOCR’s ability to both minimise the number of errors encountered and to efficiently handle those that there are without stalling was a key factor in CCI’s selection of the technology.

“We also use TOCR to split documents based on words and to create searchable PDFs for simple and fast document retrieval,” added Kochis.

The result is that CCI have been able to maintain their open architecture strategy and produce a great value product that sells around the world.

“Historically, I used another vendor for my OCR engine, but I found their solution to be inferior to TOCR in many ways. The main reason, of course, is reliability. No comparison,” says Kochis.

“Capture Plus would not be as powerful without the use of TOCR. It is the best value in the marketplace.”
