Supplier-Email Triage

Automate one expensive manual workflow end to end — the inbox sorts, extracts, and routes itself; your team only touches the exceptions.

DEMO — synthetic data
The problem

Supplier emails — quotes, confirmations, backorders, price changes — pile into one inbox. Someone reads each, works out the intent, updates the system, and replies. It's hours a day of expensive manual routing.

What the automation does

Reads every inbound supplier email, classifies intent, extracts the data, drafts the reply, and routes only exceptions to a human. Here: 10 of 12 auto-handled (83%), 11.5 hrs/week saved.
