How AI Automates PO Confirmation & Follow Up
90% of PO confirmations still arrive by email, costing manufacturers millions in downstream expenses and directly impacting OTIF. We compiled a report on how companies like Schneider Electric, Knorr-Bremse AG and BraunAbility are using AI to automate PO confirmations.
What supply chain leaders think about this report
The team at Glacis were able to quantify what most supply chain leaders already feel. Email is the de facto standard for supplier communication, portal adoption is abysmal, and the manual cost of processing confirmations is staggering. ...
Despite having best-of-breed software systems (ERP, MRP, planning tools), most manufacturers hit the same wall when it comes to the messy reality of communicating and collaborating with suppliers. This new report from Glacis puts a hard number on what this actually costs us. ...
Glacis frames their solution this way: AI as the Anti-Portal. It’s a good line, and an accurate one. Instead of asking suppliers to change how they work, AI can work inside the inbox, validating confirmations against the original PO and master data, updating ERP in real time, and escalating only true exceptions. No portal required.
