Client Situation
Over the past 40 years, KUMHO TIRES has grown into one of the world’s top tire brands. As one of the world’s fastest growing, multi-national tire manufacturers, Kumho Tires needed a powerful, yet flexible, document management and workflow solution that would enable them to sustain their growth and maintain their commitment to supreme quality and customer satisfaction. Kumho Tires realized that order entry and credit approval were two very labor-intensive processes that had great potential for improvement. An internal audit revealed the mounting inefficiencies caused by these paper-based processes and the increasing lag-time in responding to customer inquiries. Orders, invoices, credit memos, inventory and shipping documents were difficult to access because they were stored in file cabinets and taking up precious space. “We were doing everything using paper. Orders, acknowledgements, and other supporting documents were all generated as hard copy, which had to be collated and filed together properly. The process was expensive and time consuming.” The effect was weighing heavily on Kumho’s ability to maintain the highest level of customer service to match the quality of their products. With a focus on innovation and technology in producing tires of the highest quality, naturally Kumho looked toward technology to improve the business processes. For the solution, Kumho turned to their trusted technology partner, Innovative Office Solutions Kumho and Innovative Office Solutions partnered to implement a comprehensive imaging and workflow solution which transformed manually, paper based processes into the following electronic workflow:
