Case Study: APD Schlauchtechnik Automates Order Entry and Frees Up Capacity with Workist

How APD Schlauchtechnik was able to meet its strong growth with the help of Workist

APD Schlauchtechnik GmbH, a large-scale producer of thermoplastic tubes and hoses, faced challenges with its manual order entry process. The company's inside sales team was overwhelmed by the monotonous task, which consumed time that could have been spent on value-adding sales activities and hindered growth. To address this, the company partnered with vendor Workist to implement its AI software, Worki, for automation.

Workist implemented its flexible Worki software, which uses intelligent document processing algorithms that learn continuously without needing upfront training. The solution automated the order entry process and master data management without requiring significant ERP system changes. This resulted in a 60% full automation rate, equating to 650 documents processed automatically each month with 100% data extraction. This freed up personnel capacity, improved data quality, and allowed APD to redirect resources toward sustained growth and expanding its consulting services.
