Paperwork that arrives as a PDF and gets typed in again, twice. That is most of the recoverable time in a manufacturing business.
What we automate first
- /01
Goods-received matching
GRNs matched to purchase orders at the point of receipt, so discrepancies are raised the same day rather than at month end.
- /02
Inspection certificates
Generated from the measurement records you already capture, with the operator confirming exceptions only.
- /03
Supplier documents
Invoices, certificates of conformity and specifications extracted, filed and matched automatically.
- /04
Works order admin
Scheduling paperwork, job packs and completion records assembled without a person keying them.
An example automation
Manufacturer example. An illustration, not a client result.
Questions from Manufacturing & Engineering firms
Will it work with our ERP?
If it has an API we connect to it. If it does not, we work with exports or the database directly. We confirm which during scope.
Our documents are scanned and poor quality
That is normal and it is handled by confidence scoring rather than hope. Anything below the threshold goes to a person instead of being guessed at.
Can it work on the shop floor?
Yes. Most of what we build there is a simple screen for one job, used by a handful of people, running on whatever hardware you already have.
