GE Capital’s Office Imaging (OI) business announced today that it will
provide OI dealers who use the e-automate® or OMD® systems with the
ability to automatically submit customers’ meter readings and receive
customer payment information with no manual intervention. The goal of
the integration is to help OI dealers save time and money.
Both e-automate and OMD are automated business management software
systems designed for the OI industry. They are developed by Digital
Gateway and OMD Corporation, both part of the ECi Software Solutions
family of companies.
“As a result of this integration, we hope to enable faster payment
recognition for dealers,” said Glen Clark, vice president and general
manager of GE Capital’s OI business. “This new process enables dealers
to post cash payments received from GE Capital directly to their
operating systems and eliminates most of the current steps needed to
process meter files.”
GE Capital is a leading provider of innovative financing solutions,
including leases and loans, to the manufacturers, dealers and end-users
of OI products. With a dedicated team of meter and print management
service experts, GE Capital has been billing, collecting and disbursing
service revenue for over 20 years. Last year, the company billed for
more than 1.6 million meters.
“We applaud GE Capital for enabling dealers to access emerging
technologies,” said Laryssa Alexander, president of ECi Software
Solutions’ Office Equipment Division. “Our goal is to make processes
more efficient and seamless, which means we’re helping dealers and their
customers too.”
Today’s news exemplifies GE Capital’s continued interest in using
technology to drive cost efficiencies and top-line growth for dealers.
Its customizable financing solutions and full-service support help
dealers and their customers take advantage of new business opportunities
and think beyond the copier. Its offerings include digital tools such as
the Leasingsource mobile credit application and Dealer Analytics
reporting tools.
