AI SYSTEMS & AUTOMATION / BEDFORDSHIRE
WHAT IS INCLUDED
WHY DUNSTABLE
Purchase orders arrive at Woodside businesses in every imaginable format: PDFs, spreadsheets, scanned faxes and plain email text. Keying them into the order system is a daily chore that invites mistakes. AI can read these documents, extract customer, part numbers, quantities, prices and delivery dates, and prepare a draft order for a member of staff to confirm. Mismatched prices or unknown part numbers are flagged rather than guessed, which is where the real value lies.
AI SYSTEMS & AUTOMATION / DUNSTABLE
Technical enquiries are another good fit. Distributors and manufacturers answer the same questions about materials, compatibility and standards repeatedly. A private assistant trained on the firm's own catalogue, datasheets and past answers can draft replies for the sales team or answer simple questions on the website, citing the source document. We are careful to make it say when it does not know, because a confident wrong answer about a specification is worse than no answer.
IN PRACTICE / DUNSTABLE
A Dunstable distributor might have incoming purchase orders read automatically, matched to customers and products, checked against agreed prices and placed as draft orders, with staff confirming each one and handling only the flagged exceptions.
A Woodside engineering supplier could give its sales team an assistant that answers questions from its own datasheets and standards, always quoting the source, so newer staff respond accurately without waiting for a senior colleague.
A metal fabricator in the town might turn customer drawings and emails into a draft quote using its own pricing rules for materials and processes, with an estimator reviewing and adjusting before it is sent.

QUESTION / DUNSTABLE
Yes, in most formats. We set it up to extract the key fields, check them against your customer and product records and create a draft order. Anything unclear, such as an unknown part number or a price mismatch, is flagged for staff. For Dunstable distributors handling many small orders, this usually removes much of the manual keying.
