Email triage for manufacturers and industrial SMEs
A manufacturing SME’s sales-admin inbox receives PDF orders, supplier confirmations, delivery-date requests and claims every day — and everything ends up retyped into the MRP by hand. The agent reads each message, extracts the data and flags whatever threatens a delivery date.
In your day-to-day
- 01
Extraction of client orders — PDF, Excel or email body — into the MRP: part numbers, quantities, requested date, no retyping.
- 02
Detection of supplier confirmations that push back a delivery date, with an alert to the buyer if a work order is at risk.
- 03
Routing of quality claims to the right team with the batch number and attachments already linked.
How it works
- 1
Measure before sorting
We start by measuring the real flow: who writes, about what, what actually needs action. Sorting rules are built on that data — not on impressions.
- 2
Sort, extract, route
The agent classifies each message, extracts the useful data (references, amounts, deadlines) into your tools, and routes to the right person. Urgent items are flagged within minutes.
- 3
Answer the recurring
Acknowledgements, document requests, standard questions: the agent replies on its own within the approved fence. The rest lands pre-qualified in your team’s queue.

Frequently asked questions
Our orders arrive in every format, each client has their own — can the agent cope?+
Yes, that is its home ground: it extracts the data whatever the format, and flags any ambiguous or incomplete file to sales admin instead of guessing. A doubtful order never enters the MRP on its own.
Is entry into the MRP automatic or checked?+
At the start, the agent proposes and your sales admin validates — that is assisted mode. Autonomous entry, per price list or client family, only switches on once reliability is demonstrated on your real flow.
What if the agent misclassifies an important message?+
Rules are calibrated on your real flow and start in assisted mode: the agent proposes, your team validates, the agent learns. Autonomous sorting is only switched on once reliability is demonstrated — and everything stays browsable, nothing is deleted.
Does it work with Gmail, Outlook, a shared inbox?+
Yes — Gmail, Microsoft 365, IMAP, shared inboxes and aliases. The agent works inside your existing mailbox, without changing the address your clients know.
