Problem
Distributors and manufacturers often receive purchase orders via email, requiring manual data entry into ERP systems. Mistyped part numbers and duplicate orders lead to shipping errors and increased operational costs.
Solution
Panora uses AI to automatically extract purchase orders from email inboxes, validate part numbers, and cleanse the data before posting it directly into the user’s ERP. The platform flags duplicates and incorrect items in real time, preventing costly shipping mistakes. Users can configure rules to route ambiguous orders for manual review, maintaining control while automating the majority of the workflow. By eliminating manual entry, Panora can reclaim up to 80% of the time typically spent on PO processing, allowing staff to focus on higher‑value activities.
