Order Automation in the Packaging Industry

Automatically process unstructured orders via email — despite customer-specific formats and without EDI standardization.

Why packaging companies hit their limits with orders

Heterogeneous order formats, missing EDI standards, and individual customer requirements make manual order entry a bottleneck.

01

High Manual Data Entry Effort

Orders arrive via email in different formats — PDF, Excel, free text. Each order must be manually transferred to the ERP and verified.

02

Long Processing Times

From order receipt to ERP entry, hours or days pass. This delays production, delivery, and slows down the entire order-to-cash process.

03

Limited Scalability

As order volume increases, staffing requirements grow linearly. Peaks from seasonal business or new customers push the manual process to its limits.

How Dokumentas automates the order process

The Order Agent processes incoming customer orders end-to-end — from extraction to ERP handoff, without templates and without manual configuration.

AI-Powered Extraction Without Templates

Recognizes and extracts order data from any format — regardless of layout, language, or sender.

Automatic Validation

Plausibility checks on article numbers, prices, quantities, and delivery dates — against ERP master data and customer conditions.

Targeted Exception Routing

Only deviations and clarification cases reach employees. Corrections flow back as feedback and improve automation.

Structured ERP Handoff

Verified order data is transferred directly and structured to the ERP — including article data, quantities, and business context.
