Tempo é Dinheiro
Os preços flutuantes do petróleo e os altos custos de mão de obra de
tarefeiros contribuiram significativamente para a instabilidade na
indústria dos transportes. Porque quaisquer custos não previstos não
podem ser meramente absorvidos pelos clientes, a empresa voltou-se
para a gestão integrada de documentos de forma a reduzir custos a e
providenciar um excelente serviço ao cliente.
Com mais de 800 funcionários e uma faturação de 200 milhões de Euros anuais, a
Christian Salvesen Gerposa é uma empresa espanhola líder no setor logistico. Esta
grande empresa especializada, agora também negociada na bolsa de Londres foi
criada em 1999 através da fusão da empresa espanhoa Gerposa e da empresa
inglesa Christian Salvesen.

Uma fatura final pode ser emitida apenas quando a guia de entrega assinada é
devolvida pelo motorista do camião. Nessa altura os funcionários responsáveis por
essa encomenda têm de ir procurar toda a documentação relacionada com ela.
Tudo fica mais complicado quando uma encomenda é composta por vários
serviços; a pesquisa de todos eles demorava uma eternidade.
Solução
Hoje todas as guias de entrega e toda a documentação dos clientes, gerados pelo
sistema de ERP da Christian Salvesen Gerposa, recebem um código de barras que
o sistema normal AS400 imprime directamente nos documentos. Este código de
barras também inlcui um Nº Interno de Encomenda para cada transação relacionada
como transporte.

Estes documentos vão para a estrada com o motorista que leva a carga. Quando
entregues ao cliente os documentos são preenchidos e servem como prova de
entrega e como base da emissão da fatura na sede da Christian Salvesen Gerposa.
Os Benefícios em detalhe
Graças ao DocuWare os tempos mortos foram virtualmente reduzidos a zero na
Christian Salvesen Gerposa. Enquanto que no passado dois empregados estavam,
a tempo inteiro, dedicados a registar, arquivar e a fazer seguir documentação
relativa aos transportes para o departamento financeiro da sede, agora centenas de
horas diárias são poupadas todos os dias.
Eles podem inclusivamente aceder a todo o tipo desses documentos sem ter a
necessidade de se levantar das suas secretárias !
Já não há a necessidade de esperar....e esperar....por respostas do departamento
financeiro ou da contabilidade.
