Aljex Software Inc. has introduced Image Link, a new document-management feature of its technology, which is intended to speed up and simplify the billing process for all of the vendor's customers. Aljex offers hosted software for freight brokers, third-party logistics providers and related entities. Through Image Link, Aljex customers can automatically e-mail or fax invoices and proofs of delivery. Transportation providers don't need to copy, collate and stuff invoices and PODs into envelopes, the vendor noted. Image Link combines into a single file all of the document images need to support an invoice. Images can include POD signatures, bills of lading, load manifests, weight tickets or other documents scanned and saved in any major image format. Because images can originate from a variety of places, such as inbound fax-to-e-mail programs, Image Link converts invoices and multiple image formats into a single PDF file, while scaling them to the page so that they display and print consistently. Since Aljex includes outbound fax as part of its standard software hosting, faxed billing is sent with no expense to a client of the vendor. Image Link is available to Aljex customers at no additional charge, and can be used immediately, the company said.
