Globalization and the shift in international trade patterns have significantly impacted modern-day logistics industry. But this scenario too has a flip side. Though, changing industry dynamics have presented ample opportunities, they have given their fair share of challenges too. One such pain area which nags, most of the logistic companies, freight forwarders, trucking companies, shipping companies, warehouses, and many more who rank within the logistic landscape is invoice processing. Unlike earlier days, modern-day logistic companies have to capture/generate massive amount of invoice data from multiple sources, be it from traditional paper forms or digital formats. This ‘data explosion’ has been giving a tough time toaccount managers, warehouse&logistics; managers, business intelligence&automation managers and many more, as it demands lot of efforts and time to create a well-organized database containing all the invoice records. This eventually makes it difficult for them to focus on their core tasks and hence; often the financial operations suffer a setback. Several logistic companies still apply traditional information management tools and practices, and often try to do it in-house, which at times results into complete chaos. In-house processing is not a viable option, if your enterprise has an inadequate infrastructure, skills-set and experience. Chaotic and outdated invoice databases create huge fissures in the supply chain management, which apparently results into poor operational efficiency. Realizing the importance of organized and systematic invoice records, several logistics companies areoutsourcing invoice processingtasks to expert data processing service providers who provide smart data solutions at a very affordable rates. Other than cost-effectiveness, there are several other benefits that make outsourcing invoice processing a viable option: Irrespective of how an invoice enters your company, invoice data processing service providers extract important from information fields using OCR and ICR. These data values are further, validated according to pre-defined guidelines, leaving no room for any errors. These service providers are adept in ‘intelligent data entry’, which involves picking up and keying (varying) data values for common fields like name, contact details, geographical area and date format in an efficient manner. This mitigates the issues cropping up due to mixed-up entries or duplicate values. It is no secret that processed and structured invoice data enhances data visualization. Experienced and innovative business process management service provider will have the foresightedness to convert the information from invoices into easily consumable formats like tables, charts, analytic reports and much more to augment data visualization. Better data visualization, further, helps the account manager/CFO to analyze the monetary position of the company. They get easy access and can reconcile these details with account receivables and payables, to get a fair idea about finances stuck up in transit. In addition to this, processed invoice data makes it easy to identify redundant pieces of information and remove it, for that clean and updated invoice databases. This apparently makes it easy for the warehouse& logistics managers, logistics coordinators and other stakeholders, to notice any fraudulent activities instantaneously and keep a check on it. In-house invoice processing requires setting up an infrastructure and hiring specialized human resources. This eventually raises the overall cost of processing and administration, if compared to the cost incurred on outsourcing the activity. This perhaps provides a very strong reason for many logisticians to outsource invoice processing. With an infrastructure and skilled human resources already in place, logistics companies can manage to save up to 20%-30%. Logistics CFOs rank outsourcing invoice processing as one of the most viable and cost-effective solution to cater to the “information explosion” and leverage the financial health of the organizations.

In the world of mobile apps, one of the never-ending debates is which platform is more suitable for developing apps. This argument has been extended a wee bit further and now the question is whether HTML5 is more suitable or are native apps more suitable for your target audience. However, according to a majority of experts in this field, the argument has already been settled. Nevertheless, for the benefit of our readers, we will delve briefly in to this topic and understand what the debate was about. What is the debate all about According to the current consensus, the importance is about the overall mobile strategy being involved along with other factors such as the readiness of enterprise systems for the mobile experience, the availability of various mobile skills as well as the overall performance of the development skills. All these factors also include the overall cost/benefit analysis and the like. When analysts have observed the market, they have come to the conclusion that although HTML5 has made considerable progress over the past few years, it is the market that clearly dictates the fact that native mobile platforms are the choice for customer-facing as well as employee apps. Most customers prefer native apps Hence, according to market observation, most customers prefer native apps, since according to recent research, mobile experience impacts customers considerably when they view a particular brand and then interact with it. In a recent Oracle Study, it was found that more than half of the users which were surveyed said that a poor app experience would put them off using the products and services of the company in question. Thus, when customer-focused and market-driven organizations opt for a HTML5 or hybrid app, they get in return a customer response that makes them bitterly disappointed compared to companies or organizations who put out native apps and then gain instantaneous competitive advantage. Lack of Smooth Experience with HTML5 In many instances, the web (i.e. HTML5) apps did not provide the smooth experience that native apps are known for. When it comes to a mobile website, some of the pros that can be discussed are as follows. With the help of a mobile website, it is a quick option to make the content that is already existing via a mobile device. Therefore, a mobile website needs to be built only once and it can be usable for every device. However, there are some cons as well. Users have complained of inferior experience in the past due to the fact that they would like their mobile experience to be unique along with being provided a compelling user interface. Since these functionalities are rather limited with mobile websites, a mobile website would limit the user's ability so that they will not be able to engage with your brand deeply. When it comes to an HTML 5 or Hybrid http://www.360technosoft.com/services/mobile-application-development, you can get the space on a user's mobile. This will allow you to bridge some of the gaps between native apps as well as mobile website. However, an HTML5 is a 'wrapped' app that continuously required internet connection and limit the user's ability to utilize them in areas which have no or little bandwidth. Conclusion: Market observers have found that native mobile apps provide the best user experience in the form of a rich user interface and smooth & engaging user experience. Besides providing faster load times compared to web apps, they provide faster load times that are compared to web apps and provide robust performance in the online or offline mode. Besides better discoverability on app stores as well as enhancing brand image, they offer superior security compared to HTML5. However they can prove to be really expensive as they require development for mobile platforms. ...read more
