People, especially businesses have been relying heavily on paper document management- whether it be for invoices, record keeping, account management etc. There are, however many disadvantages to this system (for example loss by fire damage, misplacement, security issues, negative environmental impact on trees etc). Businesses wishing to avoid these issues should seriously consider switching to PaperLess document management.
Though there are many uses of Paperless Document Management, let’s focus on PaperLess accounting software and why are Finance Departments from companies across UK making the move to go PaperLess.
- PaperLess Document Management Software is made possible with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software
Without OCR software, the transition from paper to PaperLess document management will be a lot more time-consuming and tedious than it is now. OCR software enables the translation of all types of documents like images of typewritten or printed text into electronically readable files, so offices can easily convert their existing paper documents to electronic files.
- PaperLess Document Management software can increase your company’s productivity
Many companies, especially those with multiple clients, can identify with the pain of archiving clients’ files and documents. Listing and depositing hundreds of files from different accounts can become quite messy which requires manpower. Not to mention the difficulty of fetching existing data when required. PaperLess account management efficiently stores client documents electronically through the touch of some buttons, reducing the pain and manpower required and thus increasing productivity.
- PaperLess Document Management software has a built-in Online Invoice Approval System
Another revolutionary time-consuming system that arrived with PaperLess accounting software is invoice approval workflow. Tracking all the invoices electronically, the invoice approval workflow permits you to manage all the bill payment processes, enforce and streamline approvals for every bill and invoice received. Plus, there's the bonus of remote accessibility- with the correct authorization you can access the invoice approval workflow from any computer, anywhere.
- PaperLess Document Management Software software improves document security
The PaperLess account management software has the advantage of being more secure and reliable than conventional paper methods because of encryption.
- PaperLess Document Management Software does not require extra space
With PaperLess account management your company can store information from an infinite number of accounts in the space of a computer and desk. And the retrieval of data can be performed within a couple of clicks. Compare this to traditional paper methods which require physical storage (often outsourced), which incurs an extra cost and also the inconvenience of manually sorting through documents to perform a document search.
- PaperLess Document Management Software is environmentally friendly
Last, but not least, going paperless is a tree friendly solution because it does not rely on the cutting down of trees, like paper methods do.

What about going PaperLess to achieve Full Document Management Automation?
At PaperLess we believe the future of document management automation is to have all your invoices received via email automatically processed and sent for approval on document flow or alternatively have them posted directly into your Sage accounting package.
This is PaperLess Company Inbox, a powerful feature crated by the Sage Developer PaperLess Europe which allows you to fully automate your document management processes. But it gets even better, if you use Purchase Orders PaperLess Company Inbox will automatically match the invoices against the Purchase Order in Sage and if the amounts match it will automatically close off the Purchase Order and post the invoice to Sage.
- What happens if there’s a mismatch?
In case there is a mismatch between the invoice and the Purchase Order PaperLess will automatically send the invoice in document flow to the person that raised the Purchase Order in Sage. Yes, this is what we call Full Document Management Automation and is now available for Sage 50c, Sage 200c, Sage 200 Standard Online and Sage 200 Extra Online users.
- How do I access the documents?
With PaperLess Document Management for Sage the documents are directly linked to the transactions in Sage. By doing a simple look-up from within Sage you have access to the document, the complete audit trail of the approval process, all the accounting information and, guess what, you also have access to the original email with which the invoice was received. Meaning no more time wasted in looking for documents or emails since everything is directly linked to the transactions in Sage.
