Software and Service Solutions
for Document Fulfillment in Today's Complex and Dynamic Environment
Bradley Company was founded in 1983, primarily to address the forms
management requirements of document-intensive companies. Customers were asking
for an independent
set of tools that would allow them to access the many benefits of forms
management, such as; forms control, lower overall cost, inventory management,
forms standardization, usage reporting, etc.
In response to this market demand, Bradley Company engaged a group
of large companies to offer their advice, their unique needs and their
expertise over an initial development period of several years. This ensured not
only a robust solution, but a solution which was entirely focused on the
customer's
requirements.
Over the years, the scope broadened widely to encompass the entire
lifecycle of both documents and other consumable items. From purchasing and
receiving, through inventory management and fulfillment, to requisitioning and
reporting, Bradley Company software offers seamless integration and
state-of-the-art capabilities.
Web-based requisitioning,
automated Print-on-Demand,
electronic forms integration
and
complex kit fulfillment
are all features of Bradley Company's flagship software, Spectrum Plus. The
software can also easily interface with existing applications (such as General
Ledger, Shipping manifests, Accounts Payable systems, etc.) for complete data
integration.
In 1998, Bradley Company was acquired by Xerox Corporation, as a wholly owned
subsidiary. This acquisition strengthens the ability of Xerox to offer complete
end-to-end document solutions, and uniquely positions Bradley Company to
deliver our powerful suite of software and service solutions.
Three guiding principles continue to provide Bradley Company with
overall direction and focus:
Listen carefully to the customer. This pervades everything
we do—from software development to support to consulting. Listening well
enables us to discern underlying business issues, and to identify effective
answers.
Develop practical solutions. We believe that most business
problems can be broken into distinct pieces, and that a simple, phased-in
approach to each is most effective.
Requisitioning simplicity. We believe strongly that a user
should be able to submit only one requisition to handle any possible type of
item—whether that item is produced internally or externally, whether it is
stored in a warehouse, purchased, printed-on-demand, or electronic. The
fulfillment operation itself should be transparent to the user.
