Business automation for manufacturing
Collecting orders from customers' supplier portals, checking delivery dates, and compiling data on screens that differ by customer, with automation that lasts.
Common problems
Signing in to and copying from a different web portal for each customer
RPA robots stop whenever a portal's screens change
Missed order or delivery date changes affect production plans
Use cases in this industry
Enter an Excel list into a web system
For each row of an Excel list of orders, AI enters it into a web system and writes the receipt number back into the row. Only failed rows are redone.
Enter records into a desktop accounting app
For each row of an Excel list, AI enters the record in a desktop app. A person approves before it is saved, and the slip number goes back into the row.
Collect orders and due dates from supplier portals
Every morning, collect new orders and delivery date changes from several customers' supplier portals and, after review, record them in the sales system.
Check stock and lead times for a parts list
For each part on an Excel bill of materials, stock, price, and lead time from distributor sites go into its row, and hard-to-source parts are flagged.
Read Excel purchase orders from email and enter them
AI reads Excel purchase orders in each customer's own layout, checks them against the product master, and enters them. A person checks orders that do not match.
Use cases for any industry
Read invoices into the accounting system
AI reads incoming invoices, checks them against purchase orders, and records them in the accounting system. Invoices whose amounts differ wait for approval.
Create invoices and send them by email
Invoices are filled into your template from an Excel billing list and emailed once a person approves. AI first points out amounts far from last month's.
Research a list of prospects
For an Excel list of hundreds of companies, each one's business, locations, and size are collected from its website into its row, with a priority for sales.
Find missing clock-ins
Collect yesterday's clock-ins from the attendance system and, once HR approves, ask employees with missing entries to fix them in Teams.
Take in emailed invoices and draft the entries
Find unread email with an invoice attached, have AI read the amount, and record a draft ledger entry. Uncertain entries wait for accounting to confirm.
Review SaaS accounts
Collect user lists from each SaaS admin console and match them to current employees. Leavers' and long-unused accounts are disabled only after approval.
Partner registration that starts on approval
A kintone approval starts the workflow by webhook. It looks up the tax registration number, AI matches it to the request, and a match enters the sales system.
Collect KPIs from SaaS tools into a weekly report
Collect figures from advertising, sales, support, and other SaaS tools, and produce a weekly report with week-on-week comparisons and likely causes of change.
