NEWARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Panasonic System Communications Company of North America, a provider of industry leading document management and imaging solutions, today announced that for the first time, the company is offering a new data  management software bundle with a variety of its workgroup scanners. Together with Neat—a leading provider of Smart Organization Systems for the small business and home office markets—the offer combines Panasonic’s high-performance KV-S1015C, KV-S1026C, KV-S1027C and KV-S1057C model scanners with Neat’s well-known expense management capabilities. Available within the next 30 days, the bundled offer is ideal for executive administrators, accounting or human resources       departments managing small to medium sized (SMBs) offices or individual       business owners. The unique scanner hardware and expense management       software solution offers advanced document imaging and capture       capabilities at an unprecedented price.   

“We’re excited to continuously improve our customer’s experiences as well as introduce new users into the Neat environment.”

 The new software and hardware bundle combines the performance and       reliability of Panasonic scanners with Neat’s thought-forward data       management solution giving small businesses a comprehensive workflow       solution. Now users can more efficiently manage critical paper and digital records, including financial documents like receipts, vendor invoices and expense reports—starting at a price point under $1,000—something that previously could have cost significantly more.  Certified to work with Panasonic scanners, Neat’s latest Smart Organization System provides expanded capture services, including data extraction and intelligent document recognition, with a rich, robust user-centric design. This functionality allows for users to quickly process expense management tasks in a timely fashion.
