The Challenge

Common order processing automation challenges facing manufacturing businesses.

Production scheduling done manually without real-time visibility of raw material availability or line capacity

Customers calling for order status updates because there is no systematic progress tracking

BOM explosions and raw material reservations calculated manually for each production order

Implementation

How we implement order processing automation for your manufacturing business.

Capture Customer Orders

Automatically capture purchase orders from customers via EDI, email, online portals and phone transcripts. Order details including product codes, quantities, delivery dates, special specifications and shipping instructions are extracted and standardised.

✓ Tools: EDI Integration, Email Parser, DEAR Inventory

Validate Against Production Capacity and Stock

Each order is validated against current finished goods inventory, raw material availability, production schedule capacity and minimum order quantities. Orders that require procurement of raw materials or schedule adjustments are flagged with lead time estimates.

✓ Tools: DEAR Inventory, Cin7, Production Scheduler

Generate Production and Fulfilment Plans

Validated orders generate production work orders with BOM explosions, raw material reservations and production line scheduling. For stock orders, pick lists and shipping documentation are created automatically.

✓ Tools: DEAR Inventory, Cin7, ShipStation

Track Fulfilment and Confirm Delivery

Order progress is tracked from production through to dispatch and delivery. Customers receive automated status updates at key milestones. Completed orders trigger invoicing and update sales reporting.

✓ Tools: DEAR Inventory, Xero, StarTrack
