This is the third article in the TOLIA Document Imaging for TMWSuite series. To recap, in article 1 of this series I discussed the TOLIA Image Viewer which is used for quick document retrieval and viewing in addition to some upload capabilities.
In article 2 I discussed the TOLIA Batch Entry program used to upload and tag scanned images in a batch mode.Â
In this article, we’ll focus on the last of the methods for inputting documents into the imaging system, which is with a tool called TOLIA QuickScan.

This article is the second in a series discussing our document imaging workflow system. This article discusses the batch workflow processing. The TOLIA Batch Entry imaging module adds a method of mass upload of images to the TOLIA document imaging system built on top of TMWSuite. Even with the image upload capability of the TOLIA Image Viewer, there are times that we need to mass upload images in a batch process.
This need arises several times a week actually since we rely on the TripPak overnight service that allows our drivers to send in all of their signed bills of lading, toll and fuel receipts, etc. It would be too cumbersome to try to individually scan and upload these images, so an efficient batch processing tool was developed, aka the TOLIA Batch Entry application.

We received a notice from TripPak regarding their drop locations at Pilot Travel Centers across the country. They are indicating that due to some contractual issues they may be removing the Pilot locations as drop locations for customers using the TripPak express services.Â
They indicated that this is not final, but as of now at the turn of the new year could likely be the case assuming some resolution is not reached between Pilot and TripPak. They also indicated they expect to have 60% of the pilot locations covered within a 1 mile proximity with an alternate drop location. What we are not sure is how convenient or well known these alternate locations will be.
We are still assessing the impact this news will have on our usage of the service. As of today, it could be used as high as 20% of our overnight envelopes originate from Pilot locations from some quick queries we did today. Hopefully all works out and something pans out, but it will certainly be another topic I’ll be keeping an eye on the next couple of months. I assume we are not alone.

The TOLIA Image Viewer is a custom document imaging add on module for TMW Suite. It was the first component that was built as part of the TOLIA solution and applications.Â
This application not only serves as the tool that images are viewed with, but it also has many of other features that were added to streamline our document imaging process. It has vastly improved our process workflow for how all documents related to a trip are pushed through the system.

As I mentioned in my previous post, at Tradewinds we had developed a very simple and easy to use imaging system that we have integrated into TMWSuite to provide one click document retrieval. Prior to my arrival at Tradewinds, we had originally been scanning bills and confirmations and had been labeling them in folders and using file names. This was slow since it was a batch process, it was cumbersome since it relied on manual labeling and it made it hard to find images…naturally the business had progressed and a system was needed.
