DATA CAPTURE

Digitise your business and defend your data

 

In a world of increasingly distributed enterprise – you need to capture your data in a way that protects you, your people, and your processes.

Whether that’s automatically extracting key data from scanned paper documents, capturing important details from emails and digital documents within a workflow, or collecting information from mobile web forms that are being used by remote workers.

Our experience and partnerships provide the ultimate confidence that everything is being done by the book and on budget.

Limitless innovation

In  rapidly evolving sectors, often under regulatory scrutiny, staying compliant means staying at the forefront of emerging technology. We keep Commercial, and all of its clients, right at the cutting edge.

Far-reaching resources

Don’t just take
our word for it…

Commercial deliver. We are fortunate to work with some amazing partners. Here are some examples of great things we hear every day.

The Tesco procurement team have been delighted with the way Commercial share our desire to entrench sustainability into our supply chain – we really are kindred spirits. Our ethical and sustainability policies are of paramount importance to our reputation and the Commercial team reviewed and approved all products in a short timeframe. Commercial are already committed to the ETI base code and are working on achieving EcoVadis accreditation for all suppliers on the Tesco account.

Digitising data capture brings many benefits to your organisation.

Creating, capturing, and retrieving your organisation’s most important information should be easy, reliable and secure. Data capture is a ‘must-have’ element of any digital workspace, these are just five of the top reasons why.

Efficiency

Removing manual keying and quickly handling multiple documents and data points

Accuracy

Removing the risk of human error and setting information quality standards

Compliance

Ensuring data is kept secure, processed appropriately and subject to audit

Integration

Automating the provision of data to multiple, disparate systems to drive productivity

Collaboration

Enabling authorised users to quickly access information and work anywhere together

Innovation and insights

Exponentially increasing data requires permanent innovation.

We’re heading for a tenfold increase in digital data, from 16 zettabytes to 160 zettabytes by 2025.

Being alert to innovations in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) will allow organisations to leverage the power of computing to their advantage and keep pace with predictive technologies. 

The use of real-time data capture technologies has been growing steadily. According to Forbes[1], digital data capture has become increasingly important as companies seek to track customer and process behaviour and make swift decisions.

Tenfold increase in the volume of data globally, predicted in the decade to 2025.

%

Annual growth in the use of robotic process automation (RPA) for data capture, between 2020-2025.

The global AI-driven data capture market is expected to reach $11.2 billion by 2026.

Don’t just take
our word for it…

Commercial deliver. We are fortunate to work with some amazing partners. Here are some examples of great things we hear every day.

The new Walsall Housing Group office is a fantastic, fresh and modern workplace thanks to the wonderful work of the Commercial interiors team. They created a steering group to work alongside us to understand our demands and held regular meetings during the design process to keep us informed of the progress. Our desire was for a more collaborative space, with meeting booths and one-to-one seating, rather than traditional desks – and they delivered a fantastic final fit-out over the full four-floor building.
Each year, Commercial supplies accessory packs to graduate trainees at a leading accountancy firm, which are then picked, packed, and delivered to their home addresses by the Commercial Foundation. This not only guarantees that every new employee has the necessary equipment to be productive from their first day but also allows their IT team to focus on other responsibilities. Collaborating with the Commercial Foundation generates substantial social value returns on investment for the firm and contributes to improving the lives of the Foundation's volunteers.
Wollens have enjoyed a long-standing and fruitful partnership with Commercial because they are always introducing innovations and improvements to our IT environment. As the threat of cyber-attacks increases it was vital that we strengthened our capabilities for dealing with a ransomware attack with a cloud-based backup solution. Our solution means data cannot be altered or deleted, giving us a crucial way of recovering data to minimise any potential downtime and financial losses
Working with Commercial for our branded materials has proved to be effective and collaborative. The team is efficient and they listen to requests for improvements. Commercial has made branded goods simple.
As E-commerce in retail continues to grow, Commercial’s stock-management and fulfilment expertise has allowed a leading UK retailer to free huge amounts of warehouse space. Commercial took on the stocking of our employee uniform, transferring to a new supplier with the management of the supply being consolidated into their existing supply accounts. Not only did this free vital space in their distribution centre, the consolidated supply of all GNFR delivered significant delivery cost savings.
At JoJo Maman Bébé we are happy to work with the Commercial Foundation and support inspiring work they do to help disadvantaged young adults. Like us, the Foundation are a B Corp certified organisation that is proven to put purpose ahead of profits. We have enjoyed working with their volunteers to help with a mug-making activity. We are now working alongside them to create an introduction gift for our new employees, these include printed mugs, pens and notebooks.
