Toys "R" Us (Aust.) Pty. Ltd. Selects Cardiff LiquidOffice

Cardiff Software, Inc., a leading global provider of business process-automation solutions, today announced that its LiquidOfficeT eForm automation solution has been selected by Toys "R" Us, (Aust.) Pty. Ltd., in Sydney, Australia. Toys "R" Us, one of the world's leading retailers of toys, children's apparel and baby products, will use LiquidOffice for process and system flow redefinition including workflow management.

Cardiff LiquidOffice will be used to improve the speed and efficiency of the entire workflow across all departments of Toys "R" Us, (Aust.) Pty. Ltd., including use of LiquidOffice's database capture functionality to serve as a collection agent. Using this capability, data will be aggregated and distributed by report or file transfer, greatly reducing time spent on administrative procedures and eliminating the manual handling of paper documents. A Web-based solution, LiquidOffice will enable employees to use Internet technology to input and track data at every stage in the approval process, thereby realizing significant data entry cost savings, a reduction in documentation loss during transit and an increase in profitability.

Cardiff LiquidOffice is a complete eForm automation system that allows organizations to design, route, track, approve and sign electronic forms online via a standard Web browser. The Cardiff solution was recommended by CAYLX Software (Pacific) Pty. Limited, a worldwide organization that provides sales and technical support for information analysis, data processing and imaging from a worldwide network of software development resources to a world market of technology users.

"LiquidOffice's open architecture and flexibility allow companies to maximize their existing systems," said Dan Shirra, Cardiff's vice president of worldwide marketing. "Retail organizations are realizing improved data quality, increased productivity and reduced operational costs after implementing the LiquidOffice eForm automation system."

The scalability and high performance of LiquidOffice provides organizations with a solid foundation for automating all their business-critical processes. Cardiff's open systems approach also enables companies to take advantage of new technologies while continuing to use their existing systems, rather than locking them into a single source.

"The implementation of LiquidOffice at Toys "R" Us is another example of how technology can improve what would appear to be a simple manual process," said Jim Bullough, CAYLX's Managing Director. "With a large geographic spread of stores across Australia, there is a lot of value to be gained by having all forms in a central repository managed by LiquidOffice."

LiquidOffice includes a point-and-click Form Designer to quickly create new forms or convert existing forms into automated HTML or PDF forms. Also included is the LiquidOffice Form Server, which provides sophisticated server-based form automation capabilities, including:

  • XML form description and revision control
  • Publishing Agents for HTML and PDF eForm presentation
  • Auto-form-fill from database and auto-fill from user profile
  • Dynamic pull-down and menu selections from database query
  • Automated server-based data validation
  • Business rules-based data processing
  • Support for attachment and archive integration
  • XML, open database connectivity and JavaTM database connectivity export connect agents
Benefits experienced by organizations migrating to LiquidOffice include streamlining internal operational processes; accelerating delivery of data and documents to backend systems; reducing administrative costs; and eliminating data errors with business rules processing.
