Depending on your profile

Do you manufacture these goods?

A hundred orders a day, entered by hand.

At Nat&Form, the sales admin team handled more than a hundred orders a day, in every format (PDF, email, Excel). Time-consuming entry, errors, constant pressure on a small team. The agent absorbs the entry work, the team gets room to breathe and refocuses on the customer relationship.

"From the very first orders, we felt the relief. Fewer errors, less fatigue, and so much more time to focus on the customer relationship."
Rozenn Le Crom, Sales Admin Team Lead, Nat&Form.

Do you distribute these goods?

Your customers ask where their order is. Every day.

At the professional consumables distributor we analyzed: 13% of orders trigger a status request, with zero proactive updates sent. Each request pulls a sales admin rep away for a reply with no commercial value. An automatic order confirmation and proactive tracking remove the question at the source.

context & challenges

At Nat&Form, the sales support team handled more than a hundred orders a day, most of them by hand, across a wide range of formats (PDF, email, Excel). The result: slow data entry, a steady source of mistakes, and constant pressure on a small team. The challenge: get the flow and the working comfort back, without waiting for the ERP migration.
