Sharp SHARPFIND V4 (serv.man4) Service Manual / Specification ▷ View online

All suppliers strive to produce goods of the highest standard and within the specified time to fulfil their
contracts. Unfortunately it isn’t always enough to see the products leave the factory gate and then await
payment. Products can go astray, deliveries fail and mistakes arise. Monitoring the situation can be
complex, particularly given that clients of a single supplier are likely to be based at sites all around the
UK, if not the globe. And without the crucial ‘Proof of Delivery’ (POD) a client is perfectly entitled to refuse
to pay an invoice for a misdirected order.
Sharp brings DIY to Premium Timber
Bristol based Premium Timber Products Ltd is one such
company, specialising in the supply of timber based goods to
major DIY retailers, such as B&Q and Focus. To remain
efficient, the DIY stores use a sophisticated electronic
ordering system to maintain low levels of stock, which means
they rely heavily on the rapid supply and delivery of products
from their supply base.
Premium Timber initially monitored their despatch system by
ensuring that once their haulage company had made a
delivery, the signed POD was sent back to
their warehouse. The PODs were then collected
into batches and sent to a third party agency
which would manually upload and index the
data, then save it to a CD which was returned
to Premium Timber for reference. Should a
query arise from a DIY store, Premium Timber
could then check the CD to confirm delivery.
The system however, had drawbacks. 
Wendy Rogers, Personal Assistant to the
Managing Director, and responsible 
for resolving the situation explained, 
“Because we were relying on another company, there were
difficulties since some aspects of the system were outside
our control. The agency used unique software which meant
we were unable to access the records ourselves, but had to
rely on the CDs supplied to us. There was also a delay
between receiving the PODs in the warehouse, outsourcing
them, then having access to the inputted files.”
She continued,

Often we need to check
back to see if a delivery
was received. Using the
old system this was a
time consuming process
which could be delayed 
by days if not weeks.

CASE STUDY
Matthew Stibbe, Real Business, October 2002
After consultation with Premium
Timber we realised that the 
AR-M450 needed to be 
re-configured so that it was able to
scan the documents even though
they were not the standard paper
size usually used. Once this was
done, each sheet was fed through
smoothly, with no further errors.
We also researched with Fusion the
possibility of developing some way
of scanning and recognising the
bar code on the POD. If Premium
Timber were able to input the bar
codes from all the PODs at speed,
rather than manually, they could
then access far more data from
each transaction.
In the past all archiving was
done manually, however
SharpFind will archive all
documents automatically,
which saves time. It also acts
as a failsafe. If we search for
a particular order or bar code
and fail to find a record, we
know that it can’t have been
scanned, since human error
can be excluded. This wasn’t
the case when everything was
loaded and archived manually.
Wendy Rogers commented, 
After trials, Sharp and Fusion added a Kofax board to the
codes when scanning. Each delivery note has a bar code
number, which is unique. When the third party agency was
responsible for logging each POD only one field was indexed,
limiting the variety of searches which could be undertaken.
This meant that it was difficult to retrieve information on
individual deliveries, as searches could only be undertaken by
store or by month. Adding the Kofax board to SharpFind
allowed Premium Timber to read the bar
code on each delivery note,
giving details of the
specific delivery to
which it relates. The
bar code refers to a
specific order, from
picking the relevant
products from the
warehouse, to delivery,
to invoicing and billing. The
ability to scan the delivery note,
together with the corresponding bar code ensured that
Premium Timber could track each order from receipt to the
delivery of products, allowing the company to prove whether
the goods had been received by the client.
Other benefits also became apparent. 
SharpFind System Product
The answer was to take the process in-house. If Premium
Timber could find a cost-effective, efficient method of
uploading the information, they could potentially reduce the
an indexed archive, which was easy to use as a reference.
As a result, Premium Timber contacted Fusion Business
Systems Ltd, an office equipment reseller with expertise in
IT Product Specialist, Damian Pothecary, recommended the
Sharp AR-M450, a modular 45 pages per minute
multifunctional product, offering networked printing and
archiving package.
Explaining, Damian Pothecary added, “The AR-M450 has a
rapid scanning function which compliments any archiving
indexed for easy access.”
The standard SharpFind package offers document storage and
up to one million images, ample space to meet the needs of
Premium Timber. 
Once the initial installation of the AR-M450 and SharpFind
was completed, a few additional changes were needed to
the Proof of Delivery sheets when we tried to scan them
because they weren’t a standard A4 size,” continued Damian
Pothecary, “The sheets were printed on tractor fed paper,
which the copier printer was unable to handle at first. It
didn’t help that the sheets are also usually in a poor condition
when they are received back at the warehouse, which could
have caused further problems. When a
delivery is made, the POD is signed by
the client to acknowledge receipt of
the goods. The sheet is then retained,
usually within the driver’s cab, while
further deliveries are made. PODs can
easily end up torn, folded, stapled or with
parts missing.”
He continued, “Effectively we needed to create a bespoke
product, since there are no copier printers with a scanning
function, available on the market currently which would
automatically be able to cope in this situation. We worked
with Sharp in order to adapt the products in order to find a
solution.”
Ian Hill, Systems Consultant at Sharp added, 
Inputting has also speeded
up, as you’d expect since we
can now scan the documents
in-house, which can be
between 1200–1300 PODs
per week,” she continued.
“Information on deliveries is
now accessible within days
rather than weeks, which
means we can clear up any
delivery queries we receive
almost immediately, reducing
the number of claims made
where clients mistakenly
believe that a product has not
been delivered.
