Tradition and innovation go hand in hand for family business Agrar-Markt Deppe: 100 years after its founding, the company, which specializes in agriculture, forestry and gardening, has become one of the leading agricultural machinery dealers in Central Germany, with 140 employees and nine locations. Their recipe for success includes close customer proximity and a lean organization. This also includes a cloud-based document management system.

In the past, filing 1,800 incoming A/P invoices and 3,000 outgoing A/R invoices per month was extremely cumbersome and time-consuming. Since documents were filed at various locations, they were repeatedly retrieved, copied and sent between offices - for example, documents that might be needed at both the company headquarters or in a regional office. In order to guarantee tamper-free archiving and to standardize their work processes across all locations, it was decided to introduce a DMS. The smooth connection of the branches to the central digital archive was a key driver for choosing DocuWare, along with its interface to the company's ERP software. Together with their DocuWare Partner, the first step was to analyze the workflows in the individual locations and to harmonize the processes. They then began archiving incoming invoices and delivery slips, but quickly continued to expand their use of the DMS. Today, DocuWare is integrated with their ERP solution AMS Arista. With just one mouse click, outgoing invoices, for example, can be stored in a tamper-proof manner.
