Alchemy Scan2 (Capture)

Document Imaging Module for Alchemy

What is Scan2?

Today' s highly competitive and highly computerized businesses demand the ability to make sound business decisions based on all the relevant information. Unfortunately, even in highly computerized environments, it' s still difficult to find all of that information quickly. With scanned images, you may be able to find a specific document if you know the file name or date created, but can you easily search for information contained within the actual scanned bitmapped image? Think about the variety of pages that can be scanned: text, graphics, hand-written notes, and barcodes. Then think about all of the scanned image files you have and trying to find just one little, but important piece of information buried in one of those files. How long would it take you? Is it worth the time? Sure. But, we have a better, faster way to help you find the information. It's Scan2, an optional add-in module for Alchemy Gold and Alchemy Premium. Scan2 captures and indexes scanned documents.

Capturing Images
It's easy. With Scan2 you're in charge. You'll have the highest quality images stored in the most efficient manner possible. Scan2 includes OCR technology to convert paper into electronic words and numbers that end users can then search.

Scan2 works with Alchemy Gold in smaller environments with one scanner or with Alchemy Premium in larger environments with multiple scanning stations.

Barcodes? No Problem
With Scan2 you can scan barcodes into an Alchemy Repository making the barcodes objects that can be searched by your employees. For example, if your supply chain process includes steps to capture the shipping labels on everything you receive, Scan2 can capture this image and store it in a Repository. Then Alchemy users in your Accounts Payable department can quickly and easily reconcile accounts with your suppliers by searching the Repository based on a shipping bar code. The search will bring back all documents referencing this information. In this example, your employees spend less time searching for specific documents and more time solving the real business issues at hand.

High-Volume Scanning Needs?
IMR has developed partnerships with high-volume scanning equipment manufactures to ensure the needs of larger image capture environments are addressed. Top-of-the-line scanning hardware can be integrated with Alchemy using Scan2. So, whether you already have high-speed scanning equipment or are looking to expand to high-volume scanning capabilities, Scan2 can help.
