Document Management Link (DML), part of Orchid's Informatioin Manager suite of productivity tools gives you: 
  • Easy access to essential documents directly from your Sage 300 screens.
  • Support for remote working by overcoming your reliance on physical documents.
Setting up DML is one of the easiest and quickest ways you can add value to a client's Sage 300 site.
And we mean quick!

This "Quick Start" video shows how you can configure DML (for A/P) in under 30 minutes

 

 
DML also featured in our recent article, Susan's Decluttering Journey. Sue from Orchid takes us on a 20 year trip down memory lane.

Find out how DML, Notes, EFT Processing and other Orchid products allowed Sue, and Orchid, to finally achieve a paperless office.
 
 
 
Everyone loves DML!!  It makes working remotely so much easier. All staff in different locations can see the relevant documents and no more hunting around for lost paperwork!
