01 — THE GAP

Your customers already place orders digitally. Your team still enters them manually.

A purchase order arrives as an attachment. Someone opens it, identifies the customer, translates their part numbers, checks the price against the contract, and retypes twelve lines into the ERP. Then does it again, two hundred times a week.

TIME
Hours of repetitive entry
Order desks spend the morning retyping what a customer already typed.
ACCURACY
Wrong SKUs shipped
Part numbers get translated from memory, and mistakes ship.
MARGIN
Pricing mismatches
Outdated customer prices pass through and quietly erode margin.
RISK
Duplicate orders
The same PO arrives twice by email and is entered twice.
SERVICE
Slow acknowledgements
Customers wait hours for confirmation on minutes-old work.
CAPACITY
Volume equals headcount
Order growth means another hire instead of more throughput.
02 — HOW IT WORKS

Rules validate.
Humans approve.
ERP remains the source of truth.

Routine orders should be boring. Exceptions should be obvious.

04 — SKU INTELLIGENCE

Every customer calls your parts something else. Ordvaro learns your translations once.

When someone resolves a customer part number to an ERP item, that decision becomes a stored mapping for that customer — inspectable, editable, exportable. Accumulated operational knowledge, not a model guess.

10 — QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions.

Which ERP systems does Ordvaro work with?

Ordvaro is live today on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. NetSuite, Acumatica, Epicor Prophet 21 and Eclipse, Sage 100 and SAP S/4HANA are on the roadmap but not yet available.

What kinds of purchase order documents can Ordvaro read?

PDF, Excel, CSV and scanned purchase orders, whether forwarded by email or uploaded directly. Header, ship-to and line items are extracted into structured order data with a confidence level recorded for each field.

Does Ordvaro create sales orders automatically?

On the Starter plan every order requires human approval. Growth and above can automatically approve clean orders that pass every validation rule; anything that fails a rule goes to a person with the PO value and the ERP value side by side.

How does Ordvaro match customer part numbers to my ERP items?

Customer part numbers are matched to ERP items through reviewable SKU mappings that accumulate as your team resolves exceptions, so the same translation never has to be made twice.

What does Ordvaro check before an order reaches the ERP?

Customer identity, item existence, ship-to address, unit of measure, contract and list pricing and duplicate PO numbers are all checked against live ERP data before an order is created.

How long does it take to go live?

Typically about three weeks from connecting Business Central to your first automated order: one IT session to connect, a short period of tuning rules on your historical POs, then exception-only review.

Stop entering orders.
Start reviewing exceptions.

Let Ordvaro turn customer purchase orders into validated, ERP-ready sales orders. Bring three real POs to the call and we will run them live.
