The Hidden Cost of Manual Data Entry
Manual order processing, inventory updates, and data reconciliation are time-consuming and error-prone. These inefficiencies add up:
- Every year, supply chain inefficiencies cost businesses millions.
- 50% of these inefficiencies are caused by manual processes.
It’s the classic horror story: An urgent order gets emailed to a supplier, but the recipient is on leave. The email sits unopened for weeks, and by the time anyone realises, the company has missed a product launch, wasted hundreds of thousands on marketing, and lost out on sales. Middleware ensures that critical orders don’t get buried in inboxes—automating communication so business doesn’t grind to a halt just because someone took a holiday.
How Automation is Solving These Problems
Modern supply chain solutions focus on automating time-consuming tasks, ensuring:
- Faster, more accurate order processing
- Seamless data synchronisation across systems
- Error-free inventory updates
How Automation is Solving These Problems
Businesses that transition away from manual processes see higher efficiency, lower costs, and improved supply chain resilience.
