What is a document tracking service?
A document tracking service is vital to staying informed of all business transaction statuses, especially in today’s complex supply chains. Without a document tracking system that provides visibility into document transactions, it is difficult to recognize and correct issues quickly, leading to lost revenue and poor customer satisfaction.
The best document tracking service offers realtime, end-to-end information and the insight needed to ensure the reliable, accurate and secure exchange of all B2B documents. It helps organizations manage by exception to keep the focus on running the business, not monitoring B2B transactions.
OpenText Active Documents overview

With realtime status dashboards, Active Documents makes it quick and easy to detect and correct processing errors, including when expected events do not occur, to ensure that no PO, invoice, payment or Advanced Shipping Notice (ASN) is lost.
Active Documents offers archive, search and retrieval functionality to access information on each incoming and outgoing B2B document throughout its lifecycle. With web-based dashboards and a mobile app, staff without EDI or B2B experience have the information they need readily-available in a format they understand.
