UMANGO’s TECHNOLOGY – ADDING SCANNING SOFTWARE TO HARDWARE!
Selling hardware and adding software to create the solution is the end objective. While there has been a rapid refinement of scanner hardware features, speeds and robustness there hasn’t really been an easy answer of how to deal with all this increased speed – bulk document scanning software.


The Opportunity: finding easy to configure and use scanning software that won’t take months to become familiar with and won’t take days to install. The software has to offer a great customer experience and enable them to be up and running quickly.


Introducing Umango Extract.
Umango Extract is powerful, flexible batch scanning software that can take minutes to configure but with a capability that fits nicely into the SME market. The features make a compelling solution and at a great pricing point that means you can add to scanning hardware as an almost default offering. Umango Extract offers many flexible features and supports TWAIN dedicated scanners (as well as embedded functionality to the touch screens of many copiers – MFPs). The result is offering a unified solution across scanning hardware.


The Offer: Create scanning jobs quickly and easily around information you want to capture,
look up and use to name files, create directories or push into many databases. Separate
volumes of paperwork on common layouts, words, barcodes or using separator sheets. All of
this is provided in an intuitive interface that makes setup, training and use a great experience.
This capability means scanner hardware speeds are finally being utilized.
There is huge business opportunities in helping customers gain more value from the hardware
they purchase, or already own, with value-add software and services. By asking a few simple
questions we can uncover an opportunity, change the focus from just the hardware and
differentiate from the competition.


The Client Requirement:
To scan a large amount of documents over a short-time frame


Using the scanning software to process a large amount of returned information has meant
that the department has been able to work through a large amount of data rather than
needing numerous staff to manually input the information.
