130 THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK SMARTCERT BY ARAMID TECHNOLOGIES WHY EMAIL IS LOSING ITS GRIP ON DOCUMENT TRANSFER from page 44 Lost Emails Email: We have all experienced the most common problem; losing important emails in overflowing inboxes. The sheer volume of emails we receive, including loads of spam and promotional messages, makes it challenging to track, locate, and retrieve essential documents. Dynamic spam filters also divert important emails and have made scanning our junk folders a frequent necessity. Finding older messages buried among thousands of emails is tedious and time-consuming, leading to wasted time, requests to resend documents, and customer delays. When emails are sent to one person, and they forget to move it to the proper file directory or import it into the right system, then everyone else who depends on them must send more emails to find the missing document, causing unnecessary work and delays. SmartCert: With SmartCert, the risk of losing documents in overflowing inboxes is eliminated. There is no spam or promotional messages, and the fast, intelligent searching makes it quick and easy to find files. “You can type in almost anything related to that cert, and it’ll pop up, which is definitely useful, because you’re not searching and searching and searching.” Marci Miranda, Quality Inspector, WCL Company Inefficient Group-to-Group Communications Email: When emails are sent to multiple people, often no one takes responsibility for processing the file, like an infield fly where several players watch the ball fall to the ground between them. Quality certs are a prime example. Colleagues in sales, purchasing, quality, receiving, and accounts payable need to access certs, or at least know they have been received. However, it’s nearly impossible for vendors to know which customer employees should be copied on an email, and if they send to only one person, there is a high chance the certs become lost and lead to others having to email and ask for them to be resent. SmartCert: SmartCert streamlines group-to-group communications by giving every authorized employee access to documents, without relying on any single person. If a sender updates a document, it automatically updates in the platform assuring the authorized users are alerted and can access the most up-to-date version. With SmartCert, the need for emailing back and forth is eliminated, facilitating reliable file transfer, and saving time on unnecessary work. “Customers are having a much easier time with multiple people accessing certs. They aren’t just relying on that one person who usually gets certs to plug them into their system, they all have their own access, and they can get them as they need them because everybody’s function is different.” Holly McDaniel, Sales Manager, WCL Company File Size Limitations Email: All email providers implement email size limits to prevent attackers from using emails with huge files to crash their servers. When emails and attachments exceed the allowable size, 10MB is the default on MS Exchange for example, the email bounces and the sender must split the email into multiple emails, adding low-value manual work, creating the potential for errors, and making more work for the recipients who must re-combine the files. Typical examples include RFQ or purchasing contracts that contain drawings, and certs associated with multi-line purchase orders, PPAPs and FAIRs. SmartCert: Unlike email, SmartCert does not impose restrictions on file size. Whether it’s a large RFQ or huge quality package, users can confidently share and receive documents of any size, ensuring a smooth and efficient process.
