Turn supplier PDFs into clean ERP line items automatically — save your ops team 25 hrs/week.

Root cause

Your ops team is acting as a human OCR layer between unstructured supplier docs and your structured ERP. Every supplier formats PDFs differently, so existing import tools choke and humans become the fallback. The error rate compounds because no one can spot-check 25 hours of typing a week.

ROI estimate

Hours/wk saved13–18

Monthly saving$2,250–$3,750

12-mo saving$27,000–$45,000

Payback6–8 mo

Based on 2 people × 12 hrs/wk × $35/hr you entered. Range assumes 60–80% of the task automates.

Assumptions: 80% of supplier PDFs can be parsed automatically; humans review the 20% exceptions. Loaded cost of $35/hr × 22 hrs/wk reclaimed × 52 weeks, minus ~$5k/yr in returned-order errors avoided.

Proposed stack

OpenAI Vision (gpt-4o-mini)Reads scanned and image-based supplier PDFs with high accuracy at low cost.
Supabase PostgresStores parsed line items, supplier templates and an audit trail of every extraction.
Next.js review UIOps staff approve, edit or reject extractions in a clean side-by-side view before they hit the ERP.
ERP webhook adapterPushes approved line items into your ERP via its existing import API so no IT rewiring is needed.
Slack alertsPings the team when a supplier's format changes or confidence drops below threshold.

2-week MVP plan

Week 1Discovery & first parser

Audit 30 real supplier PDFs across your top suppliers.

Risks & honest caveats

Handwritten or photo PDFs may need a fallback parser
ERP API quirks can slow week-2 integration
Supplier formats change — need a monitoring loop
