Order Processing Automation for Records Management
Let your AI agent handle incoming goods requests, fill out forms, and prepare confirmations—so you can focus on higher-value records work.
You’re stuck copying order details from Outlook emails and scanned PDFs into SharePoint lists and Excel sheets. As a records manager, you spend hours double-checking codes and chasing down missing info, only to repeat the same steps tomorrow. Errors slip through, backlogs grow, and your expertise gets wasted on repetitive data entry.
An AI agent that automates extracting, validating, and recording goods requests from email and correspondence for records managers.

The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In information governance and records management, admins and records managers spend hours each week pulling order details from email, entering them into SharePoint forms, and validating item codes against inventory databases. The process is tedious and error-prone, especially when juggling requests from multiple departments and systems. Relying on manual entry in Excel and email chains leads to missed items, incorrect records, and frustrated colleagues.
