AI in the Back Office: Automation Challenges

10 challenges for automation in the ordering process. Download whitepaper.

Distribution team facing order processing challenges in the back-office

Food distribution is under pressure. Margins are razor thin, while customers expect faster deliveries and flawless service. At the same time, many back offices remain heavily dependent on manual processes: orders are received via email, PDFs or even faxes and are manually retyped into ERP systems.

This requires companies to spend hours every day on repetitive work, increases the margin of error and makes growth difficult to scale.
Staff shortages add to the pressure: young employees no longer want to deal with repetitive order entry and are more likely to leave.

Advanced automation with AI

AI technology offers a way out. By automatically reading, understanding and processing orders, food companies can speed up their order flow and drastically reduce errors.
But anyone who thinks AI is a plug-and-play solution is often disappointed.
Companies encounter practical challenges around data, processes and adoption.
