DocBridge FileCab enables documents to be sent from PC workstations using an uncomplicated process and offers huge savings potential. As a new input channel for DocBridge Pilot, DocBridge FileCab enables companies to also save individually produced office documents in a central mailing pool. Here they are sorted together with documents from other applications, collected together to create optimized batches for postage and are released via the various channels, including E-Postbrief.

The Main Benefits
  • Cost-optimized printing and dispatch of office documents
  • Integration of decentrally produced letters into the archiving process
  • Use of postage discounts for bulk dispatches
  • Increased productivity due to the omission of manual printing, enveloping and franking
  • Quality assurance during document processing
  • Automatic address check/correction
  • Reading of metadata / preparation of control files for archiving
  • Support for manual and automatic insert management
  • Connection of further office programs possible
The DocBridge FileCab Concept

Using DocBridge FileCab, employees are able to send their individual correspondence from their workplace directly to the company’s bulk processing system - without needing to print and envelope it themselves. Once the document has been produced at the PC workstation, the employee sends the document to DocBridge FileCab through the printer driver. The software is checked against defined rules - for example, whether the designated font types have been used according to the corporate identity. Addresses are also automatically checked and corrected. Once all criteria have been fulfilled, the document is added to the central company electronic mail processing system or sent for archiving.

DocBridge FileCab converts the document into an application-independent format and transfers it to DocBridge Pilot for bulk processing. If required, it will also be combined with documents from other applications for postage-optimized output. The addition of inserts is also managed here.

In addition to the described process stages, DocBridge FileCab also has other functions. Metadata for further processing can be read and displayed - a crucial requirement for the preparation of control files for complete archiving. It is also possible to pass the document on to an external service provider and connect other office applications.
