AI for manufacturing
Machine builders, metal workers and suppliers deal with drawing numbers, customer-specific part codes and orders arriving in ten different formats. ENTR reads them and posts them into your ERP without errors.
The factory floor is state-of-the-art. Now the office. Walk into an average manufacturing plant and you see pure innovation. From automated production lines to CNC machines and real-time dashboards; the operation is optimised down to the last detail.
But, open the door to the office and the picture is completely different. Complex sales orders, technical specifications and deviating supplier confirmations arrive by email in endlessly different formats.
The result? Highly skilled people spending hours manually retyping revision numbers, customer-specific part codes and quantities into the ERP, followed by an endless series of double-checks. That gap between factory and office slows growth and causes errors.
This is where ENTR makes the difference.
Which processes is ENTR used for?
Four document flows manufacturers start with, in the order they usually grow into them.
Sales orders & quotes
Inside sales receives orders as PDFs, vague emails, Excel files and drawings, and still types them in by hand.
- Every customer sends orders differently, ENTR reads them without templates
- Matches on drawing number and customer-specific part code
- Requests land ready in your ERP, sales only follows up

Deviations in lead time, price or quantity only surface when it is already too late.
- ENTR flags only the deviations against your purchase order
- Full control over the exceptions, the rest runs autonomously
- Act while you still can

What customers actually say
ENTR is a young and dynamic team that is genuinely involved and thinks things through with us. I especially appreciate their pragmatic approach: not making things more complicated than necessary, but working together to find what really works and helps us move forward.
ENTR showed us that AI makes order processing work in a completely different way, we can now ingest orders the system has never seen before and they're recognised instantly. Mind-blowing!
Because I spend less time processing orders, I have more time for customer contact, can pick up other projects, and feel I'm delivering more real value.
From day one we knew: ENTR's smart technology was going to take us further.
Manufacturing in brief
What does AI order processing do for manufacturing?
AI order processing for manufacturing turns sales orders from email, PDF and Excel into complete ERP orders. ENTR recognises customer specific product codes, drawing numbers, revisions, quantities and delivery dates. Fuzzy matching connects varying descriptions to the correct product without requiring a separate template for every customer.
The same approach applies to supplier confirmations and purchase invoices. ENTR compares prices, quantities and delivery dates with the original purchase order and flags only genuine deviations for review. This reduces manual entry for inside sales while retaining technical product knowledge in the process.
