[Start a Pilot](https://logistify.ai/get-started/) [Book a demo](https://logistify.ai/see-a-demo/) Every open purchase order line followed up 90% reduction in data entry errors 73% of factories still run on spreadsheets 0 manual GRN entries required The challenge ## What holds Manufacturing back These are the manual bottlenecks costing your operation time, money and headcount every single day. ### Open purchase orders lose their next owner After a purchase order is issued, buyers still chase acknowledgements, quantities, and delivery dates through email and phone calls. Supplier promises remain separate from the ERP, and delays surface after the recovery window has narrowed. ### Inbound receiving creates GRN backlogs Delivery notes stack up at the dock while staff manually count stock and enter GRNs. By the time records are updated, inventory levels in your ERP are already stale. ### Distributor orders come in on every channel Distributors WhatsApp orders, retailers email purchase orders, and field reps call them in. None of it goes directly into your ERP — someone has to re-key it all. ### Supplier dock coordination is a phone game Suppliers call to confirm delivery windows. Someone has to match availability, confirm slots and follow up on no-shows — a loop that still runs entirely on phone calls and shared calendars.
