The BaseStone tech team have been beavering away for the last few weeks making some seriously kick-ass improvements to our formal sharing tool. Now you can automatically create issuing sheets on BaseStone and save your document controllers hours.
BaseStone already has a pretty great system for issuing drawings. It enables you to send drawings to multiple email addresses, with one click, and track who has received them. On the receiving end your client can preview the drawing in their browser without having to download anything.
However, our users wanted more; and their wishes are our command. So now, our clever little system extracts data from your pdf drawings into an issuing sheet, ensuring your clients know exactly what they’ve been sent.
On top of that, your document controller can verify that the revision details are correct by simply looking at the issuing sheet. No need to manually check all your drawings against it. We’ve already had feedback that it saves over half a day’s work for document controllers per week.
But what does this actually mean for a business? Well, based on average salaries for a document controller, we’ve worked out that this feature alone could save you over £200 per month.
–‘Ah but,’ I hear you say, ‘I will still have to pay his/her full salary regardless’.
– Yes, but wait for it…
With that extra half day, your employee could be updating CAD drawings, which increases the cycle for revisions, which, in turn, means you get projects finished quicker, which translates to being able to take on more projects… Phew!
What’s more, BaseStone have now introduced a completely free offering, so you can try the new formal sharing tool for absolutely nothing.
