Create!form Case Study

Nightfreight reduces invoice cycle from 4 days to 1 day and uses e-archiving to speed up accounts query credit control responses

Nightfreight is one of the UK's most successful express parcels carriers and international freight forwarders with regional centres in Birkenhead, Basildon and Willenhall each serving 10 depots.

Their Compaq Alpha host computer system processes more than 400,000 invoices and 60,000 statements annually and these are printed using Kyocera laser printers driven by Microsoft print servers running Create!form document printing software from PCF.

OMR codes are printed onto the documents to enable accurate enveloping of the forms at high speed using the enveloping machines also supplied by PCF.

Jon Miller, IT director at Nightfreight, commented "PCF designed the system to automatically process the data, print the forms then forward it to Adobe Acrobat for archiving and storage. The system has cut the invoicing cycle from 4 days to one day and we no longer have to keep any paper copies. We can search for an invoice using any item of text and can reprint that invoice for a customer quickly. This has improved our credit control, reduced our costs by not having to buy 3 part stationery and improved our image with documents that are much better designed and professional."
