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. Their sales support team was bogged down by manual data entry, frequent mistakes and long turnaround times, all hindering both efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Slow Fulfilment
Slowed order fulfilment and delayed acknowledgements.
Input Errors

Lost Focus

SOLUTION
