3. Q.4 A business products distributor was manually processing over 300,000 customer orders each year. Heavy
order flow prior to shipping cut-off timeframes and a highly variable daily volume created staffing challenges
and inconsistent order turnaround times.
Despite an effort to process customer orders via EDI, the company continued to receive over 20,000 orders per
month via fax and email requiring manual data entry. Customer Service Associates in three different centres
manually entered the orders into the order management system with the added pressure of meeting a shipping
deadline. As any manual single-pass data entry process there were many errors, especially during peak
processing cycles.
Due to a complex product catalogue, variety of order types received from customers, and the large customer
base, finding and training data entry specialists was a challenge. Fluctuating daily order volumes made
maintaining appropriate staffing levels very difficult. During peak demand periods order processing lags would
greatly decrease customer satisfaction levels.
To solve all these problems the company implemented an outsourced automatic data entry solution with
sophisticated “free-form” data extraction for their fax and email orders. The solution was able to recognise and
capture data from any customer order format with 99.5% accuracy. Order input no longer requires the
participation of the company’s order entry staff, which has reduced labour costs. The solution also receives fax
and email orders on behalf of the company directly from customers and converts the hardcopy order to an EDI
electronic purchase order for the order management systems.
The solution includes a customised web-based portal to support exception processing and a secure web tool for
archiving and storing images of all of the original order documents. The solution is completely accessible on
demand from any of the company’s workstations. The solution was fully operational within 90 days and
required zero capital investments in hardware, software or labour on the part of the company.
Questions:
a. What are the challenges that the company faced before the installation of the Data Entry solution?
Ans :1.The Risk of Human Error:
Working in data entry requires the ability to repeat the same tasks, often under the pressure of deadlines with a
high attention to detail. With so much textual information to enter, data entry workers inevitably make mistakes
that can have big and sometimes disproportionate consequences.
2. Rise of Optical Character Recognition:
As scanning and image software becomes more advanced, technology known as optical character recognition
(OCR) threatens to supplant data entry work due to its improving accuracy and relative low cost. With OCR,
software recognizes the characters in scanned textual documents (such as books) and converts the format into
editable text.
3. Uncertain Future:
From the perspectives of employers and employees, the field of data entry contains some uncertainty. According
to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the availability of data entry jobs is expected to decline moderately from 2008 to
2018 thanks, in part, to existing employees taking on more data entry tasks and the outsourcing of data entry jobs
overseas.
4. Customer dissatisfaction :

4. Due to a complex product catalogue, variety of order types received from customers, and the large customer
base, finding and training data entry specialists was a challenge. Fluctuating daily order volumes made
maintaining appropriate staffing levels very difficult. During peak demand periods order processing lags would
greatly decrease customer satisfaction levels.
b. What are the benefits of the Automatic Data Entry solution?
Ans :
1. Automated data entry solutions can help improve the workflow and productivity of any office. Since it is
entirely automated it reduces the chances for human error and can help lower overall costs as well.
2. Traditional methods would entail having employees physically go through every single invoice and filling in
the required information onto other forms. Because of the amount of invoices that can accumulate in a
business setting more time and more
Q. 5 Write short notes on

Ans : A technique that businesses use to determine what steps need to be taken in order to move from its current
