Yes, we get it, there are still plenty of companies that route invoices around manually for entry and approval.  Maybe the invoices are routed via a manila folder or maybe via email.  Either way, life could be much easier if you used the accounts payable workflow in FileStar.  It’s a simple process that allows you to capture the invoice image, invoice data and route it all for approval.  FileStar can integrate with accounting systems, you can push the account, job and amounts in and pull vendors, clients and confirmation back.  And since FileStar is web based, your approvers don’t need to be in the office.  In fact, they can approve on their mobile devices too.

Claim Review Process:

Capture insurance claims via scanning, email or fax and route them through your review and approval process.  FileStar’s workflow not only routes the claim documentation through the process, it provides one click access to any related document in your system for the claimant.  Simple, efficient and effective.  Track the progress of any claim in the status dashboard and run reports on departmental or even processor efficiency.  

Final Step of the process - "Upload to FileStar":

Document Management is more than just an application, it’s a process too.  Millennia Group can help you design, document and implement simple processes and procedures that make it easy for users to funnel documents into FileStar.  Then the control features of FIleStar kick in and ensure that documents are quickly and efficiently tagged so they are easy to find later. 

That funnel process is flexible and includes powerful workflows designed to capture documents throughout a process and deposit the documents into FileStar at completion.  It also includes user friendly features like allowing users to email documents directly into FileStar, drag and drop files or set up digital copiers to scan to FileStar. 

Processes that are easy to understand are successful, which means your investment in your document management solution will be more valuable.  Establish the habit by just adding at the end of your procedure documents – “Upload the final version to FileStar”.

Tips and videos for some powerful features in FileStar:

Document Control for new documents - FileStar was built from day one to provide an intuitive process to ensure all inbound documents follow a consistent and organizationally approved naming convention and storage hierarchy.  Minimum required tagging is automated as much as possible and users have flexibility to add additional information as needed to help locate documents later.  It doesn’t matter if documents are added to FileStar via email, upload, workflow or scan to FileStar, all new documents follow an intuitive tagging process with user friendly shortcuts and data integrity checks.  Watch video

Alerts for new documents added by co-workers - There is a built-in feature of FileStar called Subscriptions.  Each user can configure their own notifications to help them stay on top of new, edited or replaced documents and limit the notices by project, company, client, etc.  An email comes once a day with links to all documents meeting the notification settings.  Just click on your user name and click Subscriptions to configure your notifications.  Project work becomes much easier with subscription notices.  Watch video

Merge PDFs - Sometimes it’s just easier to deliver a single PDF to a vendor, a partner, a prospect and FileStar’s merge function helps do that.  Select any number of files and you can download the files to a merged pdf.  The process adds a bookmark to the first page of every file merged in.  So go ahead and select the lease and all the amendments and create a single PDF to deliver to the tenant.  Simple.  Watch video
