Why are digital administrative
processes esential in retail?

The books have to be correct: TAlong with good offers and a paying customer base, accounting is one of the most crucial elements in a merchant’s professional life. Therefore, traders often place great importance on powerful and reliable cash register software. However, there are often untapped potentials for automation within the office itself.


Just as a cash register system takes care of the tedious task of adding prices for the merchant, a document management system (EDMS) in retail can streamline time-consuming administrative processes. In the retail industry, thousands of documents and tasks accumulate daily, often across multiple locations. A digital document management system provides crucial information instantly and serves as the foundation for a paperless office.

Cash register data archiving

d.velop’s cash register data archiving lets you fulfil the legal requirements of the GoBD concerning audit-compliant cash register data archiving. That means all your relevant data is stored immutably and is available at all times.

Digital signature

Gone are the days when a qualified digital signature still required complex hardware or lengthy software installations. The digital signature with d.velop Sign works quickly and smoothly and, moreover, makes contracts unchangeable.

Records management

Some customers don’t even need a receipt, other customers the dealer knows personally, and that for years. A digital file folder helps to summarize information on projects, suppliers, partners and branches and to display it at a glance at any location at any time.

Facility management

A clear overview is the prerequisite for control and efficiency. This applies all the more in the area of building management. For this purpose, none of the common software products for Computer-Aided-Facility-Management is needed, but only the combination of Microsoft TEAMS and d.velop for O365.

Automated invoice processing

Manual data entry, processing, and management of incoming invoices not only require a significant amount of time but also incur high costs. Due to extended processing and handling times, companies often miss valuable early payment discounts. And that’s not all: there is also a lack of sufficient transparency, such as knowing which staff member is currently handling the invoice.

Simplify the invoice processing process with digital invoice processing. This digitizes and streamlines the entire invoice workflow – seamlessly integrated into SAP as well.

  • Fast invoice verification
  • Seamless integration into existing systems (ERP, financial accounting & ERP)

Managing contracts successfully

Contract management is a time-consuming and sometimes cumbersome task. In many companies, it is unclear how contractual obligations are managed, evaluated, and actively used for corporate or organizational control. Employees from almost every department have interactions with contracts. Digital contract management offers many advantages in this regard:

  • Transparency: All contracts at a glance and no more missed deadlines
  • Efficiency: Faster creation, processing and evaluation of contracts
  • Security: No more lost contracts and cross-departmental working
