BEB Announces Paperless Automation
New Green Technology benefits Dealers and Asset Owners

Advertisement - 06 May 2010

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - March 18, 2010 - Today, BEB Industrial Asset Management announced the integration of a new image processing system as part of its fleet management services. The system captures softcopy picture files of invoices, leases, production reports, and other data sources that previously had to be managed as hardcopy paperwork. BEB manages thousands of assets for its customers and customers of its dealer channel partners. Each asset requires extensive data input in order to ensure a rich data output. Historically, this required asset owners, vendors, and other stakeholders to send information to BEB via traditional mail. The paperwork was entered into the BEB fleet management software by hand, and then the paperwork flowed on to the asset owner or channel partner, again via traditional mail. While the process worked for many years, the company recognized the opportunity for improvement. "Our customers and channel partners expect us to make fleet management faster and easier for them," noted Jason Bratton, vice president of business development for BEB, "and our new technology does exactly that."
