Expected Outcomes
Measurable results our manufacturing clients achieve with order processing automation.
Customer orders converted to production work orders in minutes rather than the typical half-day manual processing cycle.
Automated validation catches incorrect product codes, impossible delivery dates and stock issues before production begins.

The Challenge
Common order processing automation challenges facing manufacturing businesses.
Customer purchase orders arriving in different formats requiring manual re-entry into DEAR Inventory
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
