Solutions Document processing

Every document read, the moment it arrives.

Document processing is the shared intelligence layer behind order handling, procurement and finance, reading and understanding the emails, PDFs and files those workflows depend on. It reads every email and attachment that arrives in a shared inbox, works out what it is and which order, PO or supplier it belongs to, and sends it where it goes. Elentaria does this for the orders, RFQs, confirmations and invoices around your ERP, so every other process starts from a document already read.

Today, by hand

Today someone opens the shared inbox first thing, reads each email and attachment, works out whether it is an order, a confirmation, an invoice or a question, and forwards it to the right colleague. Anything that lands while they are away waits, and what belongs to which order is a matter of memory.

One morning in the shared inbox

42 documents at 07:00, three questions by 08:30.

What was waiting in orders@ and purchasing@ when the day started, and where each document was by the time someone opened the mailbox.

  1. 07:00The system

    orders@ and purchasing@ hold 42 new emails from the night: PDFs, scans, two spreadsheets, and a few with no attachment at all.

  2. 07:04Elentaria

    Each one is classified by the company rules: 14 customer orders, 11 supplier confirmations, 9 invoices, 5 quote requests, 3 that fit nowhere yet.

  3. 07:06Elentaria

    The fields each workflow needs are extracted, supplier, PO reference, lines, dates, and every document is filed against the order or PO it belongs to.

  4. 07:07The system

    38 documents move on: orders to order entry, confirmations to matching, invoices to accounts payable, quote requests to the quote queue, each one starting from data already read.

  5. 07:08Elentaria

    Three go to a person: one confirmation without a PO reference, one email from an unknown sender, one order with no currency stated.

  6. 08:30A person

    T. Lund answers the three in ten minutes; the unknown sender is a new contact at an existing customer, the rule is updated, and the next one routes on its own.
