Your ops team processes more paperwork than products.
Purchase orders take 20-30 minutes each because manual entry from email, fax, and PDF is your ops team's full-time job.
AI workers take over the routine work of this role, while your team keeps the judgment calls. AI workers handle PO processing, quality docs, and supplier communication end-to-end.
Target go-live: about 30 days from kickoff. Your timeline is set in your SOW.
Your manufacturing operations reality
Data entry is consuming your ops team's productivity.
Your ops team processes 50+ purchase orders daily
Each taking 20-30 minutes of manual entry from email, fax, and PDF attachments
Quality documentation consumes 4-6 hours per day
Forms, signatures, audit trails, and traceability records for ISO/FDA compliance
Supplier communication is constant back-and-forth
PO confirmations, lead time updates, shipping notifications, and exception handling
Your ops and procurement team is stuck on data entry
The team spends 65% of its time typing instead of managing supplier relationships
Where your ops time actually goes
We integrate with your existing stack
Leverwork connects directly to the platforms you already use — no workflow disruption, no new tools to learn.
Routine workflows, handled by AI workers with a named person for exceptions
We don't deflect procurement tasks. We process them — completely, with full compliance documentation.
PO received via email/fax → Manual data entry into ERP → PO confirmation sent → Follow up on acknowledgments → Update delivery schedules (15-20 min per PO, 50+/day)
AI captures PO from any source → Auto-enters into ERP → Generates confirmations → Tracks acknowledgments → Updates schedules for review
Production batch completed → Manual form completion → Signature collection → Audit trail entry → Document filing (20-30 min per batch, compliance risk)
AI captures production data → Auto-generates compliance docs → Collects digital signatures → Creates audit trail → Queues the file for review
PO sent → Wait for confirmation → Email follow-up → Chase lead times → Track shipments → Handle exceptions (scattered across email and phone)
AI sends PO → Auto-follows up → Captures confirmations → Tracks lead times → Monitors shipments → Handles exceptions automatically
Why not just use [industry tool]?
Good question. Here's the difference between adding tools and replacing workstreams.
Procurement platform
Leverwork handles the entire PO workflow — from capture through confirmation and tracking. Suppliers interact with AI, not your team.
Quality management system
Full integration with SAP, NetSuite, Epicor, and MasterControl. AI connects quality docs to actual production and PO data automatically.
Human support
AI applies the same data-entry and compliance rules to every purchase order.
Illustrative scenario
A $65M manufacturer with 6 ops people entering POs and chasing suppliers, with quality documentation a standing audit risk, could expect Leverwork to take over PO processing, quality documentation, and supplier communication: buyers negotiating instead of typing, and quality docs audit-ready by default.Illustrative scenario
Is Leverwork right for you?
Honest answer: sometimes we're not.
This works best if…
- Manufacturers with $30M+ annual revenue
- Companies using SAP, NetSuite, Epicor, or Infor
- Teams spending 50%+ of time on PO entry and supplier follow-up
- Organizations with complex quality/compliance requirements
Not ideal if…
