If you read our previous post on data capture from purchase orders, you must now be aware of what purchase orders are and what role they play in an organization’s long-term success. This post talks about how businesses can optimize Purchase order processing with KlearStack’s Ai-driven OCR and IDP solutions.
It is important for business owners to have keep an eye on their sales – which customers are bringing them more revenue and what products make them coming back to you. As a result, the sales team can better prepare their strategy for a long-term relationship with loyal customers.
The entire process depends on efficient processing of purchase orders. Customer POs not just reflect the sales history or transactions a company does. They also describe the overall performance of a company in terms of how well its products are capturing the market.
A purchase order enables the sales team to gauge the potential of a sale before it reflects as a sales invoice directly. However, it all depends on intelligent data capture from purchase orders so the sales team can enter the POs in their system of record (usually a CRM or ERP) and analyze the patterns in company’s sales.
Traditional purchase order processing is highly human dependent and error-prone. It keeps the staff busy in manual data entry when it should be concentrating on PO approval and data analytics. Businesses need more than just OCR-based data extraction to automate data capture from purchase orders.
Artificial intelligence can bridge the gap
AI-powered purchase order processing enables businesses to eliminate manual intervention from the process and make it more accurate, time-effective and productive throughout. While traditional data extraction fails to work with different formats/layouts/structures of the documents, AI-enabled OCR is adept at understanding the context of data and interpreting the text irrespective of its position in the document. It thereby reduces the amount of work put into manual data entry and verification process.
The process is commonly termed as intelligent document processing (IDP) wherein data from documents like invoices, receipts, purchase orders, loan documents, etc. is captured cognitively while also generating actionable insights from them.
Like automated invoice processing, businesses can automate purchase order processing to understand the potential of a particular product for the corresponding set of customers. The intelligent analytics drawn from the POs can help the sales team track and compare sales across the market. As a result, the team can then focus on streamlining the product availability in the most profitable market area.
Hence, businesses need a robust platform that not just automatically captures data from the purchase orders but also utilizes it to improve a company’s overall sales performance.
