Sales Order Automation in Action

inSTREAM Sales Order Processing

Capture data, validate and enrich

inSTREAM is able to process all sales orders received by businesses regardless of how they are received including paper (post), email and attachments, fax and EDI.  It is able to read and process all formats, structured, semi -structured and unstructured ensuring all sales orders you receive follow a single process through inSTREAM.

inSTREAM’s Intelligent Process Automation (IPA) solution negates time-consuming manual data extraction of both customer information and line item information including product description, product code, quantities and price from sales orders.

Once inSTREAM has extracted the data it is able to carry out further tasks to validate data including (but not limited to):

  • Verification of customer details 

  • Matching line order details against product lists

  • External compliance

  • Checks and measures including duplication, date validation, values add up to totals etc.

  • Credit checks
  • Check account status (on-hold)
  • Aggregate ‘same product’ orders
  • Map product code variants
  • Delivery date extraction and calculation
  • Stock checks
  • Handle / recognise re-ordering

Human in the Loop

Human in the Loop

As an AI platform inSTREAM requires human interaction to learn.  Through a user friendly interface inSTREAM collaborates with the order processing teams who teach it where to find key information, such as pricing, product codes and details, and customer information. inSTREAM learns from every sales order it processes, therefore as the volume of orders processed increases, its confidence and accuracy improve and the amount of interaction needed with humans decreases, enabling employees to focus on the complex, value-based tasks.
