For document capture, it boasts the fastest, most flexible scanning and indexing solution around. For data capture, Kofax Capture extracts important information such as machine-printed text, bar codes, hand-printed words and even checked boxes. What’s more, Kofax Capture uses the same powerful indexing and validation process to capture information that doesn't start on paper, such as electronic documents. That means your workflow or content management system receives consistently indexed content – no matter what the source – and your enterprise benefits from reliable, easy and fast retrieval of all your information. Remote Capture Many organizations rely on document-driven processes that originate at a remote location but must be completed elsewhere. The Kofax Capture Network Server is a proven, reliable method for accelerating and reducing the cost of remote business processes. Included with Kofax Capture, the network server allows you to capture documents and data from your organization’s remote offices directly into your Kofax Capture system. Scalable for Growth Kofax Capture is a modular application that can be used right out of the box to meet the information capture needs of a specific department, and expanded to meet the complex requirements of a high-volume, mission-critical enterprise. From hundreds to millions of documents per day, Kofax Capture can capture it all. Customizable to Meet Your Needs You can tailor Kofax Capture to support your precise business processes with dozens of plug-and-play modules – from automated document separation, to postal mail scanning, to automatic classification of unstructured documents, to powerful forms-processing tools that extract information from even the most difficult documents. Or you can write your own. Kofax Capture’s flexible, open architecture makes it possible and comes with example module code to get you started.

Kofax Capture can also export to any ODBC-compatible database or to a delimited ASCII file. This flexibility makes Kofax Capture the perfect front end for any system. Kofax Capture Enterprise Edition Kofax Capture is also available in an enterprise edition that offers high availability and disaster recovery for mission-critical implementations. Remote, real-time management of system performance enables you to handle exceptions quickly and meet throughput requirements. Kofax Capture easily extends information capture throughout your enterprise by taking advantage of Terminal Services and Citrix® server technology, providing remote, on-demand access to Kofax Capture modules, and enabling the processing of more documents in less time via multiple-instance support. Additionally, Kofax Capture Enterprise Edition offers options for enterprise-class database management systems such as IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise, and Oracle Database. Business Case Manhattan Beer, one of the largest alcohol distributors in the New York metro area, needed a reliable solution to capture and handle delivery tickets. The company processes roughly 4,000 delivery tickets per day. Delivery tickets are printed on line printers and triplicate forms are given to drivers for delivery. Sign delivery tickets are then returned to one of the 6 warehouses and scanned. Square 9 Capture OCR’s the invoice number on the impact printer delivery ticket with greater than 95% accuracy. Once scanned, DataMerge jobs update the customer information based on invoice number. A SQL job runs an exception report to flag any delivery tickets that went out with a driver but were never scanned into the system.
