The Challenge: Managing Multi-Format Document Exchange
As Lund Stougaard’s operations grew, so did the complexity of their document management needs. They faced several challenges:
- Multiple Data Formats: Orders were received in both PDF and EDI formats from various suppliers.
- Disparate Channels: Documents were submitted via IMAP, FTP, and network paths, requiring a flexible intake system.
- Manual Processes: Order handling and document formatting required manual intervention, slowing down workflows and increasing the risk of error.
- Rackbeat ERP Compatibility: Their goal was to consolidate all order, invoice, and credit note data into their Rackbeat ERP system, with custom handling based on each source and format.
The company needed a comprehensive, automated solution to streamline their document processing pipeline and ensure accuracy and efficiency.
