Automated Sales Order Creation in Acumatica Using AI
ABOUT THE CLIENT
A mid-sized distribution company faced mounting operational hurdles processing hundreds of daily customer orders received via email and PDF attachments.

Slow Fulfilment
Slowed order fulfilment and delayed acknowledgements.
Input Errors

Scalability
