Your desk is piled high with printed PDFs. Customers send orders via email in every format imaginable—some typed cleanly, others scribbled by hand with smudged ink and crossed-out numbers. You squint at the page. You type each product name and quantity into your ERP system. You double-check prices. You make a typo. You correct it. You do it again for the next order. And the next. Your team spends hours every day on this repetitive, error-prone work that doesn't add value to your business.
There's a better way. FastifyPDF's AI-powered system reads every PDF—even handwritten orders with unclear handwriting—extracts the product names, quantities, and line items, matches them to your pricelist with 95% accuracy, and sends the complete order back to your customer for approval. All in minutes. All via email. No new systems, no training, no workflow changes.
The Hidden Cost of Manual Order Capture
Think about how many hours your team actually spends on order entry each week:
- • Printing & retrieval: 5–10 minutes per order just to get the PDF on paper.
- • Reading & interpretation: Handwriting is slow. Unclear numbers are slower. One person might read "2" as "Z" or miss a decimal point entirely.
- • Manual typing: 300-line orders take hours to enter line-by-line into your ERP or accounting system.
- • Price lookups: Every product number must be matched to your pricelist. Typos in product names delay the entire order.
- • Errors & rework: Price mismatches discovered too late. Quantity errors caught after fulfillment. Angry customers. Invoice corrections.
Multiply that by 20 orders a day, 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year—and you're looking at thousands of hours of lost productivity and thousands of dollars in preventable errors.
