Case Study: Zentis automates purchase order processing with Netfira

How Zentis automates the processing of purchase orders

Zentis, a major German food manufacturer, faced challenges in its procurement process due to growing complexity and a high volume of purchase orders. The company needed to automate its operational procurement, specifically the manual and inefficient processing of purchase order confirmations, which varied across its four different purchasing areas. To address this, Zentis partnered with vendor Netfira to implement its AI-supported software solution for automation.

The Netfira platform was seamlessly integrated into Zentis's SAP environment, requiring minimal IT effort. The solution automated the processing of purchase orders, achieving 100% automatic handling for orders with no deviations. A significant advantage was the simple and cost-free digital connection for suppliers. Within two months, Zentis connected 30 suppliers and saved considerable time, as manual checks were eliminated, allowing the procurement team to focus on more value-adding tasks. Netfira's solution provided the efficiency and standardized processes Zentis required.
