Instead of suggesting a complete system overhaul, we developed a lean AI-powered automation solution that seamlessly integrated into their existing processes. The solution:
- Automatically extracts relevant data from incoming emails and PDF documents
- Intelligently maps the information to existing customer and product master data
- Automatically creates orders through direct integration with the ERP system (NetSuite)
Our technical implementation combined generative AI with rule-based logic – ensuring maximum accuracy while maintaining flexibility across various order formats. The Impact: Significant Improvements Without a System Overhaul
The results were immediately noticeable:
- Processing time was reduced from several hours to just a few minutes
- Data entry errors dropped significantly
- Order handling became faster by eliminating manual bottlenecks
- Employees were freed up to focus on higher-value tasks
- And the best part: the solution was ready for use as a proof of concept in a very short time and could be further developed based on real-world feedback.
Why This Matters for SMEs
Many medium-sized eCommerce businesses face similar challenges:
- Growing order volumes with limited personnel
- High demands for speed and data accuracy
- ERP systems like NetSuite must be reliably integrated
- Increasing competition from larger, more automated companies
This case study proves: AI automation isn’t a luxury reserved for large corporations. SMEs can also achieve quick, tangible ROI through targeted and customizable solutions. How to Successfully Begin Your AI Automation Journey
Successful AI projects follow a clear path:
- Start with a well-defined, specific process pain point
- Focus on measurable business outcomes, not tech for its own sake
- Begin with a proof of concept before scaling
- Continuously improve based on real team feedback
Conclusion: AI doesn’t have to be expensive or complex. With a practical focus and a clear use case like order processing, businesses can unlock significant efficiency gains with manageable effort.
