The Logistify AI Assistant automates the manual process of data entry from paper-based Limited Purchase Orders, Goods Received Notes, Delivery Notes, Invoices, Purchase Requisition or Quotations. Simply upload the document as a PDF and tell the AI Assistant to create the record into your ERP/IMS, in under 10 seconds!!



The Problem


The logistics and supply chain industry is notorious for using paper-based documents such as Limited Purchase Orders (LPOs), Goods Received Notes (GRNs), Purchase Requisitions, Delivery Notes, Invoices, Quotation, Receipts and many more.


When my co-founders and I managed 3PL warehousing, we would always receive Inbound stock from suppliers delivered into our warehouses accompanied by 3 paper documents including: a limited purchase order, a buyers invoice, and a delivery note. We would have to manually enter all that data from the three documents into our Inventory Management System (IMS). This manual data entry was done by at least 5 data entry clerks who would spend the whole working day entering data from 100s of Inbounds received per day. This process was manual, time-consuming, error-prone, repetitive & labor-intensive.


This problem was not unique to us. Recently, I visited an early customer who is one the largest manufacturers of cooking oil in Kenya. I found several data entry clerks with heaps of papers on their desks, manually entering data from payment receipts & goods-received notes into their SAP ERP System. The CEO of the factory requested if Logistify AI could automate that process because it was delaying payments reconciliation with their buyers.


The Solution


We've built the Logistify AI Assistant to solve this problem. It's like ChatGPT for logistics and supply chain managers. You simply upload your PDFs and give it an instruction like "Create a PO from this PDF". Then the AI Assistant will extract the data from the PDF and create a new record into your ERP, all in under 10 seconds!!
