Document workflow automation in the cloud  

The Netfira Platform is a secure cloud-based SaaS solution for automated document processing. Users can easily exchange all B2B documents such as order confirmations, purchase orders, advance shipping notices, quotes and invoices. The Netfira Platform allows document workflow automation in the cloud by extracting, processing and exporting all relevant data into any ERP system. Netfira’s Onboarding App guarantees a simple and efficient electronic supplier connection.

A cloud-based document automation solution

Netfira provides the SaaS service model (Software-as-a-Service), which operates in a cloud. With the Netfira Platform, purchasing processes are smooth and efficient. In an increasingly digitised B2B world, the automation of manual processes in operational procurement must be uncomplicated, fast and flexible. The Netfira Platform enables buyers to connect important business partners electronically, and exchange document flows digitally between different systems without media discontinuity and at the push of a button. Automating document workflows in the cloud increases efficiency, optimises processes, and unlocks procurement’s full potential.

Advantages of Netfira’s SaaS solution over on-premise software solutions 

On premise SaaS
Configuration
The software must be purchased and installed by purchasing. There are configuration and infrastructure costs. 
Netfira offers a connection to a ready-to-use system. Netfira is responsible for the entire software. For purchasing, no own server infrastructure is required, only one interface to the computer centre is needed. 
Maintenance 
The software must be secured, maintained and regularly updated – on internal systems by the IT department. 
Netfira is responsible for maintenance and all security-related aspects. Since SaaS is web-based, procurement benefits from the fact that Netfira can carry out routine automatic updates of the software. 
Costs 
Investments in software, licences and servers to run the software are required. 
Netfira uses a subscription model on a per-user basis, meaning investment costs are minimal. Purchasing only pays for what it actually needs and uses. This makes it a highly cost-effective solution for businesses of all sizes. 
Scalability 
Difficult to scale
Very easy to scale: Additional users and applications can be added easily and quickly as business needs increase. 
Role of internal IT departments
The IT team is usually involved in the digitisation project and will often be burdened with additional tasks on top of their existing responsibilities.
The IT department is significantly relieved. The Netfira Platform enables them to concentrate on other projects instead of spending time on lengthy program introductions or maintenance tasks.
