Makes it Easy to Work from Home or on the Road
"With increasing flex-time becoming more prevalent with more employees working from home or on the road, people need to bring their office with them wherever they go. ScanStik allows you to bring your office with you, letting you scan contracts, receipts, invoices, business cards - everything you would do at work - while on the road," said Doug Verkaik, CEO of Planon.
ScanStik Uses:
For the Mobile Professional: Smaller then full page scanners, ScanStik fits in your bag or purse and saves time by having your office tools with you at all times. Agents, (Real Estate, Investment, and Insurance) or salespeople gather important documents on the road instead of taking them back to the office to copy and return. Just scan the info: driver's license, property tax bill, survey, life insurance, application, etc. on the spot. Also ScanStik eliminates the hassle and cost of using hotel business services by scanning and emailing right in your hotel room.
At the Office: Use ScanStik right at your desk. Avoid the inconvenience of looking for a scanner in the office and then retrieving the file on the network. Makes it fast and easy to receive documents from co-workers or customers, then lets you print, sign, scan and email back.
At Home: Use ScanStik for capturing expense receipts for taxes, pictures, and important personal documents (insurance, wills, report cards, warranty info, etc.). Organize scans with the included software.
For the Student: Scan the pages you need from a book or article in the library or classroom without having to borrow it for days. Collaborate with other students on projects and scan and share info quickly - scan lecture notes from missed days.
