Client Challenge

Like many growing organizations, our client receives sales orders through multiple channels: email (often as PDF attachments), phone calls, their website, and other ad-hoc sources. While this multi-channel approach offers flexibility to customers, it creates a significant operational burden internally—especially for orders received as PDF attachments via email.

Sales representatives were required to manually enter every detail into the ERP system (NetSuite)

Customer ID and account number needed manual entry

Item numbers, quantities, and prices required individual entry

A single order could contain 20 to 40 line items

Process was time-consuming, repetitive, and prone to human error

As order volumes increased, this manual workflow became a clear bottleneck and prevented the sales team from focusing on higher-value activities

Our Solution

We designed and implemented an AI-powered order ingestion feature directly integrated into NetSuite. Using LLM (Large Language Model) APIs, we built an intelligent agent that allows sales representatives to simply upload a PDF order directly into the ERP.

Parses the PDF content automatically

Identifies the customer ID and account number

Extracts item numbers, quantities, and prices

Maps the extracted data to NetSuite fields

Creates a ready-to-review sales order in the ERP

Works within the client's existing NetSuite environment, requiring minimal change to their day-to-day workflow

ROI Timeline

The results were immediate and measurable, transforming the sales team's daily operations.

Eliminated manual entry of 20–40 line items per order

Significantly reduced order processing time

Lowered the risk of data entry errors

Improved sales team productivity by freeing time for customer engagement and value-added tasks

Sales representatives now spend less time on repetitive data entry and more time building relationships, following up on opportunities, and supporting customers

By combining AI capabilities with deep ERP integration, we transformed a slow, manual process into a fast, reliable, and scalable workflow. This solution demonstrates how targeted AI automation—when applied to real operational pain points—can deliver immediate business value without disrupting existing systems.
