The SmartSource Adaptive is the only scanner specifically built to take mixed batches of checks and other documents up to full-page size – that is all at once, not in separate passes. The picture you see above is how it really works!
This one-of-a-kind device is ideal for any business, bank, or government agency that needs to capture payments along with associated documents such as invoices, purchase orders, or other records.
A big challenge when you are dealing with checks and other documents together is that few scanners are suited for both.
Check scanners are great at the job they are made for — rapidly capturing checks while reading the magnetic ink at the bottom — but they are only designed for items up to a certain size. Flatbeds, and even high-speed office scanners, handle full pages well, but they cannot print endorsements or capture the MICR information that the banks need. Most people that need to keep electronic copies of both are stuck using two different devices: One for checks, and the other for invoices and other records.
The SmartSource Adaptive changes all that. It is a professional-grade, high-speed scanner that can capture almost 80 full-page documents per minute — and also has all the critical abilities of a bank-quality check scanner. Few other devices in the world can do what the Adaptive does.
Nutrien Ag Solutions is North America’s largest retailer that sells directly to farmers and growers. With more than 2,000 locations scattered across rural areas all over the continent, keeping track of each customer and each payment is a big job.
Because of the unique nature of the agricultural business, every customer is different, and that includes payment methods and schedules. Tracking each payment along with the correct customer record and invoice takes on extra importance when both purchases and payments might be seasonal or cyclical and may not match each other on a one-to-one basis. Nutrien has been in the process of rolling out a unified, electronic customer database, and has leveraged the SmartSource Adaptive to import checks and other documents together. This has made record-keeping easier and more accessible, as well has eliminated highly manual processes involving multiple scanners for input.
The high dollar value of a typical agricultural purchase has also made the check an especially advantageous payment method. And since many of Nutrien’s branches are located in rural areas, electronic deposits have taken on even more value — a case where “remote” deposit really means it.
You might think the Adaptive is made mostly for banks, but individual businesses are the main ones who use it. It has got the same bank-quality MICR reader as a scanner that you would find at a teller window, but with the versatility to work with accounting and invoicing programs used by all sorts of other organizations.
It is one of the defining features that sets the Adaptive apart from ordinary scanners that are only suitable for non-payment documents. Few other mixed-batch devices can work directly with your bank’s deposit system while simultaneously exporting images to hundreds of third-party bookkeeping and customer management software packages.
