Business communication
Your business documents such as invoices, statements and order confirmations reflect your attention to quality and are therefore important representatives of your business. Unfortunately, the output from most IT applications is limited in its ability to be adapted to meet your precise information delivery requirements, and typically they rely heavily on expensive pre-printed stationery for the logo and other design elements.

Using LaserNet Output Management gives your company to produce business documents to you’re your customers and your companies exacting standards – all without expensive and complex application coding.

LaserNet provides a single Output Management platform to manage the design, and electronic distribution of all your business communications, irrespective of the originating application or final destination printer

Automatic distribution
LaserNet Output Management can automate the document distribution internally as well as externally.

All of your documents can be delivered to the desired location, without the incurring the time and cost of manual intervention.

For example an invoice is automatically copied to the online archive whilst triggering the delivery note to be printed in the central distribution area, plus an automatically launched email to the customer advising when the goods are being delivered – all without manual input or intervention.

Helps you achieve your business objectives of increased productivity and efficiency whilst releasing staff from mundane repetitive tasks so that they concentrate on profit building and customer service activities.

Conversion to any format
A standard print can be converted to any format (like PCL, Postscript, AFP, PDF, XML, EDI, ASCII) and delivered to any destination (like a printer, fax or email). Also more exotic formats like: Tiff, RTF, ODBC, BMP, Jpeg and comma separated (csv) ASCII are supported.

As documents are sent, LaserNet analyses the customer code in the print stream, and selects the customers preferred transmission format. So if Customer A prefers documents attached to emails in PDF format, whilst Customer B prefers them to be printed and posted, this can be easily arranged via an easy to use PC format. And once set up it continues to follow your instructions until you change them.

No changes to your core application required.

Converts your normal print reports into XML output using standard or custom schemas to drive B2B and e-commerce applications. In addition LaserNet receives and XML input and converts it into document format for printed or electronic viewing.

LaserNet converts data into any type of barcode (e.g. i2of5, 3of9, EAN128, EAN13, BC39, plus customer specific formats) and outputs labels to any bar code or laser printer with a windows driver.

Also more exotic formats like : Tiff, RTF, ODBC, BMP, Jpeg and comma separated ASCII are supported.
