Client Overview

Representative example. A growing third-party logistics (3PL) provider receiving orders by email and portal in many different formats. Each order was typed by hand into both the warehouse and accounting systems.

Key Takeaways

  • Orders read automatically regardless of format using OCR + AI
  • Each order validated and posted into both warehouse and accounting systems
  • Only genuine exceptions are sent to a person
  • Built and live in 5 weeks as a fixed-scope pilot

Orders arrived by email and portal in varied formats and were manually typed into both the warehouse and accounting systems. As volume grew, data entry became the bottleneck and the main source of errors.

The 3PL worked with RPAverse to take the manual entry out of order processing. We built end-to-end automation around one process and shipped it live in five weeks.

From Inbox to Both Systems, Automatically

Each incoming order is read, checked and posted without anyone re-typing it.

The pilot automated the order-to-system path end to end, escalating only what truly needs a human:

01

Read Any Format

OCR and AI read each incoming order whether it arrives by email or portal, in whatever layout.

02

Validate

The order is checked for completeness and obvious errors before anything is posted.

03

Post to Warehouse

Validated orders are entered into the warehouse system automatically.

04

Post to Accounting

The same order is posted into the accounting system — no double entry.

05

Exception Flagging

Only genuine exceptions are routed to a person, with the order details attached.

06

Fixed-Scope Pilot

Delivered as a five-week pilot on one process, ready to scale.

What Made This Work

The bottleneck wasn't decisions — it was typing. So the automation took on the typing and left the judgment to people:

  • RPA posts each order into both systems reliably
  • AI + OCR absorb the messy, varied input formats
  • Humans handle only the true exceptions
  • Scoped to one process to go live fast and scale afterwards
