Follow on Google News | Goodwill Increases Productivity by Going Paperless with Plustek ScannersThe Plustek SmartOffice PS282 scanner helps Goodwill go digital
By: Betsy Roberts To keep the organization functioning at its highest potential, Goodwill uses over 100 Plustek SmartOffice PS282 scanners at sites scattered over the New York metro area, by job coaches, counselors, assistants and even the receptionists. The receptionist scans the clients Goodwill issued ID cards when they arrive at the facility; the counselors scan any paperwork that the client has that proves they worked, attended training or applied for jobs over the previous week; and assistants scan forms that the clients fill out as part of their job coaching and counseling. It is estimated that the scanning volume of the Goodwill New York metro offices is nearly 1,000 pages a day on some devices – keeping the organization efficient and streamlined. “We are very happy with the performance of the scanners, and will be buying more in 2011,” said Andre Bromes, Chief Information Officer for Goodwill Industries of Greater New York and Northern New Jersey. “So far, we have not had any scanner failures and the ROI on the scanners is beyond our expectations.” Bromes says the combination of the price-point and functionality of Plustek’s PS282 increased efficiencies contributed (among other things) to the rapid ROI on their Welfare to Work project – just 45 days! A higher priced scanner would have limited these Goodwill facilities from scanning all of their paperwork at their desks. Each counselor needs their own scanner, which helps them to scan client documents without having to leave their desk area and leave the conversation with the people they are working with – which increases the number of clients each counselor can see a day thereby increasing efficiencies. An ideal solution for small businesses, the Plustek SmartOffice PS282 is a compact, high-speed desktop scanning solution that effortlessly converts paper into digital files. Despite its small size, the PS282 offers industry standard TWAIN and Windows® WIA drivers you can be assured of compatibility with virtually any imaging software. The convenient, programmable DocAction Single-Touch function button permits users to pre-set nine customized functions for different scanning jobs. Users can create searchable PDFs, scan to e-mail, OCR, or file documents by simply pressing a button. The SmartOffice PS282 is bundled with a powerful suite of software applications and includes advanced features such as blank page deletion, color dropout for forms, auto-crop and de-skew to enhance image quality, increase OCR accuracy and reduce rescans. The SmartOffice PS282 and the SmartOffice series from Plustek can be purchased from authorized resellers, DMRs, VARs, and distributors including NewWave Technologies, Ingram Micro and D&H.
