PAPERLESS PROCESSING
Why has A4dable Software decided to make our systems paperless?
An average micro lender with 200 clients will print on average 45 000 pages every year, with an estimated annual cost for paper and ink amounting to more than R11 000. In addition these pages have to be filed and safeguarded to adhere to legal requirements. Paperless processing and electronic document storage obviates the need for stacks of paper, filing cabinets and expensive ink and saves 6 trees per micro lender every year.
If there are more than 6 500 Micro Lenders in South Africa as the NCR's membership suggests, and they each process an average of only 200 loans per month, the potential saving in the industry can be R71,5 million rand or a forest of 39 000 trees every year!
How does paperless processing works?
A4dable Credit Provider Software still works the way you are used to. The only difference is that your clients sign on an electronic signature pad instead of on paper documents. The system then saves the quotes and loan documents on your computer and the loan issue process continues as usual. Any of these documents can be printed onto paper at a later stage should you require them for Court or other purposes.
Where are my documents kept then?
Documents are created in PDF format and stored in a Documents sub folder of the CashW folder on your computer system. The documents cannot be altered as each document is marked by a computer date and time stamp, proving the originality of the documents.
What is needed to make my system paperless?
You will need to purchase a Wacom STU500 signature pad, which are available from a number of retailers around the country. They retail for about R2 000 each, plus VAT and postage and are sold and supported by Signatura Solutions Tel. 011 275 0139. Once the signature pad is connected, our help-desk on 044 873-3876 can then activate your paperless functions. Download specifications here.
Will the computer not lose my documents and place my loans at risk?
We recommend that the paperless system not be used on computers older than 3 years, as the lifespan of the hard disk storage might be compromised. At a yearly saving of R11 000 or more on paper and ink alone, the paperless option is still economical even if you purchase a new computer. Even new computers do sometimes break, so it is very important that backups are made at least daily or preferable a few times a day. Significantly more data will have to be backed up and we recommend that an external hard drive be connected to the computer and used exclusively for data backups.
