Automate sales order processing

Process customer orders faster and more reliably: from email, PDF or document to sales order in your ERP. With ImageCapture you automate order intake and data entry at the start of your order process, with less manual work and more control over customer, products, quantities, prices and discrepancies.

We process sales orders much faster and with considerably less manual work.

Efficient order processing from the moment an order arrives

Customer orders arrive by email, PDF, Word or through sales channels. ImageCapture reads the order data, checks it against ERP data and prepares the customer order for conversion into a sales order.

Your sales staff retype less, and discrepancies in customer, product, price, quantity or availability surface sooner.

ERP data as the basis for checks

ImageCapture uses data from your ERP, such as customers, items, prices, stock levels, warehouse and delivery dates.

Process orders digitally

Orders from emails, PDFs and documents are recognised digitally, checked and prepared for processing.

Discrepancies visible straight away

You can see which order has been received, which data has been recognised and where action is still needed.

ImageCapture:
automation from customer order to sales order

Automating data entry is valuable, but reliable order processing takes more than copying data. A mistake in item, price, quantity or delivery date can carry through into logistics, inventory management, communication, customer satisfaction and fulfilment.

ImageCapture combines automatic recognition with checks on order data. The result is a digital order process from incoming order to sales order in your ERP, without having to replace your order management, commerce, WMS or fulfilment systems.

What does faster order processing actually deliver?

From customer order to sales order: less manual work, more efficiency, more accurate data and earlier insight into discrepancies in your order process and supply chain.

Order processing supported by AI

AI and machine learning help ImageCapture recognise customer orders, order data and document structures more flexibly, including with varying layouts and returning customers.

Frequently asked questions about order processing

Hide first

What is order processing?

Order processing is the process in which customer orders are received, checked, processed and recorded in your ERP or order management system. Think of orders that arrive by email, PDF, Word, sales channels or other documents. A streamlined order processing system helps organisations manage growth, customer relationships, communication and fulfilment better.

What does automating order processing mean?

Automating order processing means that customer orders are imported digitally, data is recognised and information such as customer, item, quantity, price and delivery date is checked against your ERP. Automation can shorten processing times, reduce manual steps and errors, and improve the accuracy of order entry.

What happens when an order contains discrepancies?

Discrepancies in price, item, quantity or stock can be made visible. Depending on the configuration, the order can be routed to the right person, such as a sales employee, inside sales employee, account manager or management. Because errors are spotted sooner, you can act faster, improve customer communication and strengthen loyalty.

Is ImageCapture order management software?

ImageCapture is not a full order management system. Your ERP remains leading for inventory management, delivery, fulfilment, order picking, shipping costs and further handling. ImageCapture mainly automates the document flow before the sales order. That is why the solution fits alongside existing order management software, WMS, commerce platforms and logistics software.

Is ImageCapture order-to-cash software?

ImageCapture does not automate the full order-to-cash process. The solution focuses on the first step: processing customer orders digitally and converting them into a sales order in your ERP. Processes such as payment, shipping, packing, order picking and fulfilment stay in your existing systems.

Can ImageCapture process customer orders from emails or PDFs?

Yes, customer orders can be processed digitally from emails, PDFs, Word documents or other order documents. When orders come from different sales channels, data validation remains important. The degree of automation depends on the document structure, the ERP integration and the level of control you want.

What data can ImageCapture extract from customer orders?

ImageCapture can recognise or complete customer data, company name, references, item codes, descriptions, products, quantities, prices, delivery week, delivery date, warehouse and other order data, among other things. Where needed, data can be synchronised with ERP data, so customers, items and prices line up better with your existing administration.

Can ImageCapture create sales orders automatically?

Yes, depending on your ERP integration and configuration, ImageCapture can process customer orders into sales orders. Data is recognised, checked and, where needed, reviewed through a workflow. When there are discrepancies, a sales employee, inside sales employee or other contact can be made responsible for follow-up.

Can ImageCapture check stock and availability?

Yes, depending on your ERP integration, ImageCapture can compare order data with available ERP data, such as known items, stock levels, availability, prices, warehouse information or other data that matters for order processing. For tasks such as order picking, pick lists, warehouse layout and directing warehouse staff, your WMS or logistics software remains leading.

Does order processing software work with my ERP system?

ImageCapture connects with more than 60 systems. During a demo we look at which integration and configuration fit your ERP, sector, order process and the way customer orders come in. We also discuss which implementation makes sense, which obligations or internal agreements apply and where automation helps to reduce manual work, operating costs and delays.
