Case Study: Brown Strauss Steel cuts ERP order processing time with Nanonets

Brown Strauss Steel reduces ERP order processing time by 80% with Nanonets

Brown Strauss Steel, a leading steel distributor, faced a significant challenge with its sales teams spending roughly an hour per customer order manually converting PDFs into Excel and uploading the data into their SyteLine ERP system. This process was not only time-consuming but also prone to errors, where a single formatting mistake could break the entire import process. After evaluating several platforms, they turned to Nanonets for a solution to automate this data entry workflow.

Nanonets implemented an autonomous AI agent that automatically extracts key line item data from incoming PDFs and imports it directly into SyteLine ERP. This solution from Nanonets reduced processing time by 80%, cutting it from an hour to under 10 minutes per document, while achieving over 95% accuracy. The automation delivered a 5x return on investment within just three months and now handles over 50,000 documents annually for Brown Strauss Steel.
