Money Movers is dedicated to accurate personal service for all of our customers. We are running on Windows-2000, 2003, and XP. All of our programs are written in Cobol. I guess you would call our system a “legacy system”. We have been around for quite some time! The processing of billing data requires multiple BATCH jobs for volume processing. Money Movers Inc. has been using txt2pdf PRO for the past few years to enhance the reporting process. In the past we produced hundreds of invoices and processing reports, and mailed them to our customers. Thanks to txt2pdfpro have eliminated the postage expense involved with mailing hundreds of letters per month. Due to the sensitive information contained in these documents, we needed a safe and convenient way to send information over the internet. Txt2pdfpro allows us to dynamically generate PASSWORD Protected PDF documents with line graphics, shading, and company logos with embedded URL links and email connections. Our system automatically generates PDF reports which are sent to customers via email. Customers are able to download and / or view their invoices on the Internet thanks to the password protection feature in this product. These features not only save the company time and money, they allow us to provide better services to our users and customers.

The customer service at Sanface is better than great. They have always been knowledgeable, prompt and thorough in responding whenever questions I've had. In our business customer service is paramount to success; Sanface is a company I would absolutely recommend.

Thanks for the professional great product and support,

Kem Sisson

GWK Beperk/Limited project

GWK Beperk/Limited is an agri business thus active in the grain trade.
Selling grain means invoicing huge amounts of monies (millions) with terms of as little as 5 days.
This means that the invoice literally has to be delivered to the buyer when the truck leaves the silo.
GWK tried to send invoices with the truck or by courier service but it proved to be unreliable. Needles to say that the interest implications are huge if an invoice is late or gets lost.

GWK switched to sending their invoices by e-mail after running it through txt2pdf PRO+crypt.
The buyer prints a tamper proof invoice (with full colour logo etc.) on his own printer just minutes after the truck has left GWK premises. As a spin-off, GWK can also reduce the use of paper and save some trees by 'printing' various reports to PDF files.

This is an example of faktuur/invoice the pdf is encrypted and protected by gwkfaktuur password.

The German main office of SAR GmbH has about 250 employees.
They get their payrolls via mail each month. That means each document has to be printed, put in an envelope and brought to the post office with a EUR 0,56 stamp on it.
What we do now is to encrypt these payrolls with txt2pdf PRO + crypt and send them via email to the employees' mail addresses. It cost us some programming, a little administration tool for the intranet and the $ 1.200 for the txt2pdf PRO + crypt.
In less than one year (only calculate the stamp amount and the amount to buy and print the letters and the envelopes) we'll save costs.
