Manufacturing workflow automation for the handoffs between departments.

Manufacturing workflow automation is software that moves orders, documents and status updates between a manufacturer's systems and departments without people retyping them. Common examples are emailed purchase orders turned into draft sales orders, acknowledgments sent from the ERP, and tracking numbers written back after a label is printed. Where a step needs judgement, such as reading a PDF purchase order, AI suggests the answer and a person confirms it.

The good candidates are repetitive office work around production: purchase order intake, order acknowledgments, shipping labels and tracking, supplier follow-up on open POs, and notices when quality places a hold. AI helps most where documents arrive in inconsistent formats. Production scheduling decisions and quality dispositions stay with your planners and quality staff. If you want to redesign a whole process such as order-to-cash first, that is our manufacturing business process automation work.

Usually, yes, but we confirm it before quoting. NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Acumatica, Epicor, SAP Business One, QuickBooks, Fishbowl and Katana each expose data differently, and access can depend on your edition, plan or hosting. During scoping we check for API access, a supported import, or a reliable export, and tell you up front if the path is limited.

It depends on how many workflows are in scope, whether your ERP has a usable API, how much judgement the system has to replicate, and your order volume. The AI audit is free and ends with a scoped estimate. Builds are fixed-price against that scope, and ongoing support is a flat monthly fee covering hosting, monitoring, model and API costs. Our pricing page explains what moves the number.

Yes, those are the most common starting points. Emailed POs can be read and staged as draft sales orders, labels can be created through your carrier account with tracking written back to the ERP, and shipped orders can be flagged for invoicing. A rep confirms each new order, and anything that changes price or quantity waits for a person.

The return comes from hours of order entry and copying given back, fewer order errors, and invoices that go out when orders ship instead of days later. How large it is depends on your order volume and how manual the current process is. The free audit looks at your current process first, so any estimate uses your numbers rather than an industry average.

Most builds go live in two to three weeks from a defined scope. An on-premises ERP or a system with no integration path can take longer, which is why we scope before we quote. We usually start with one workflow, often purchase order intake, prove it on real orders, and add the next.

That is not what we build it for. The aim is to take order keying, copying and chasing off inside sales, purchasing and shipping, so they spend their time on customers, suppliers and the exceptions that need a person. Every workflow we build keeps a person approving anything that commits a price, a quantity or a ship date.

We build it to be. We work in your own cloud account where possible, give each workflow least-privilege access to only the records it needs, encrypt data in transit and at rest, and log every automated action. Your pricing, drawings and customer data are never used to train models, and you keep the source code. Security responsibilities on your side are documented with you.
