When discussing with customers there document management requirements, we like to ask this question:

“How much does it cost your company and how much disruption does it cause when your staff can’t find the files, and documents they need ?“       

The customer at this stage often looks a little bemused, and shrugs their shoulders, and we point out that when files or papers are misplaced, misfiles, or are taken from the office building, it can cause a huge amount of disruption. Orders can be delayed, quotations and project proposals held up, which in return means your customers service is being severely compromised. Your company’s  reputation, new business, and cash flow suffers, so this is why you should contact ADS to help us, help you, and avoid this situation and help you save your company money and be more efficient.
