Of the many millions of orders through portals and EDI, each year still 50,000+ sales orders in PDF or Word arrived in the mailbox. These orders sometimes contained more than 100 order lines, which meant that 4 to 6 employees were busy processing these orders in SAP.<\/p>\n

Processing these orders was manual, error-prone and time-intensive. At the same time, fast processing was essential, especially for rush orders, and delays directly impact the customer experience and relationship. And so in such a process, you want to reduce employee dependency.<\/p>\n

The central question was: how can Sales Orders be processed faster, more consistently and automatically in SAP, without loss of control? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Together with Tacstone, an AI-driven automation solution with UiPath was chosen, with AI, Robots and employees working closely together.
