Process automation

5 business processes you can automate today

From order processing to invoice checks: five concrete processes where most companies lose time every day — and how automation solves it.

10 Jun 2026 · 5 min read

Almost every company runs the same actions every day: retyping data, forwarding documents, updating lists. Each one small — but added up they cost hours and lead to errors. These are five processes we automate most often, each with the same result: less manual work, fewer errors, more overview.

1. Order processing

Orders come in via e-mail, PDF, phone, WhatsApp or the webshop — and are then typed in by hand. It can be different. With process automation and an AI agent, orders are automatically recognised, checked and placed in your ERP. A customer who messages "8 boxes of tomatoes" instantly sees the right customer price and stock, and the order is in — without intervention.

2. Invoice and document processing

Incoming invoices, packing slips and contracts all contain the same kind of data that someone has to read and retype. Document AI reads the document, extracts the right fields and handles it according to your rules: invoices are pre-booked, paper archives digitised and linked to the right file.

3. Price and order checks

A wrong price or forgotten shipping cost erodes margin — and often only shows up once the invoice is already with the customer. An automatic check watches along as soon as an order lands in the ERP and alerts the sales rep and manager if something is off, before invoicing. Many small errors × hundreds of orders a year add up fast.

4. Stock and warehouse

Searching for stock, counting by hand, not knowing what is where. With warehouse automation, every pallet gets its own location and label on receipt, the system knows stock and shelf life per pallet, and order pickers get the smartest route. Real time, without double work.

5. Customer contact

Many incoming questions are routine: "Is this in stock?", "Where is my order?". An AI customer-service agent answers them 24/7 on your website, in chat or the call centre — and neatly escalates complex cases to a colleague.
