Automation guide
Business Automation for Manufacturers
Manufacturers usually run an ERP or accounting system, a quoting process, and a set of spreadsheets that quietly hold the business together. People move data between them all day.
Typically done by hand today
- Production orders re-typed into accounting
- Daily output tracked in a shared spreadsheet
- Supplier confirmations copied from email
- Quality and compliance documents assembled by hand
What can be automated
- Order and invoice synchronisation between systems
- Automated daily and weekly production reporting
- Email-based supplier document extraction
- Templated document generation from live data
An example workflow
- 01A confirmed order is created in the ERP.
- 02The order is written to the accounting system with the correct codes.
- 03A production record is created and scheduled.
- 04A daily summary is posted to the operations dashboard and emailed to the plant manager.
Administrative hours move from re-keying to exception handling, and reporting stops depending on one person's spreadsheet.
