The Pain of Manual PDF Order Processing
Every day, sales teams spend countless hours manually capturing PDF orders from customer emails. The process is tedious, error-prone, and steals valuable time from your team:
- • Manual data extraction: Your team manually types product names, quantities, and prices from each PDF into your system—even for 300+ line items.
- • Printing and ticking: Some customers submit handwritten or scanned orders. Teams print them, manually tick off items against pricelists, and re-enter everything.
- • Pricing mismatches: Customers may use their own product codes or supplier references. Finding the right product and price in your system is guesswork, leading to errors and price disputes.
- • Delays in fulfillment: What should take minutes takes hours. Every minute your team spends on data entry is a minute not spent on customer service or strategic work.
FastifyPDF: Automate Order Processing Instantly
FastifyPDF uses advanced AI to extract, understand, and convert any PDF order directly into a sales order—in seconds. Here's how it works:
1. Intelligent PDF Extraction
FastifyPDF reads any type of PDF—typed emails, scanned documents, handwritten notes, complex tables, or messy formats. Our AI doesn't just copy text; it understands context and structure to extract exactly what matters: product names, quantities, line items, and pricing information.
2. Smart Product Matching with Fuzzy Search
Even when customers use their own product codes, supplier references, or partially correct names, FastifyPDF finds the right product in your pricelist with 95% accuracy. The system:
- • Recognizes customer-supplied product codes and cross-references your system
- • Uses fuzzy matching to handle typos, abbreviations, and partial names
- • Identifies supplier codes automatically

3. Automatic Price Matching
FastifyPDF pulls the correct price from your pricelist for each product and validates it against the customer's quoted price. No manual lookups. No pricing disputes. Just accurate, consistent pricing on every order.
