Why are digital administrative
processes esential in retail?
The books have to be correct: TAlong with good offers and a paying customer base, accounting is one of the most crucial elements in a merchant’s professional life. Therefore, traders often place great importance on powerful and reliable cash register software. However, there are often untapped potentials for automation within the office itself.
Just as a cash register system takes care of the tedious task of adding prices for the merchant, a document management system (EDMS) in retail can streamline time-consuming administrative processes. In the retail industry, thousands of documents and tasks accumulate daily, often across multiple locations. A digital document management system provides crucial information instantly and serves as the foundation for a paperless office.

Automated invoice processing
Manual data entry, processing, and management of incoming invoices not only require a significant amount of time but also incur high costs. Due to extended processing and handling times, companies often miss valuable early payment discounts. And that’s not all: there is also a lack of sufficient transparency, such as knowing which staff member is currently handling the invoice.
Simplify the invoice processing process with digital invoice processing. This digitizes and streamlines the entire invoice workflow – seamlessly integrated into SAP as well.
- Fast invoice verification
- Seamless integration into existing systems (ERP, financial accounting & ERP)
- GoBD-compliant archiving

Managing contracts successfully
Contract management is a time-consuming and sometimes cumbersome task. In many companies, it is unclear how contractual obligations are managed, evaluated, and actively used for corporate or organizational control. Employees from almost every department have interactions with contracts. Digital contract management offers many advantages in this regard:
- Transparency: All contracts at a glance and no more missed deadlines
- Efficiency: Faster creation, processing and evaluation of contracts
- Security: No more lost contracts and cross-departmental working
