Fehlende oder falsche Auftragszuordnung führt zu Umsatzverlusten

Definition

Order automation vendors in Australia stress that a major benefit of automated order ingestion from PDFs, portals and EDI is the elimination of manual keying errors and resulting picking mistakes.[2][5] Manual order entry of long, high‑value orders (tens of thousands of dollars) is time‑consuming and prone to human error; distributors note that staff are “not too fond of keying in an 80–90 line order” and must spend additional time to ensure accuracy.[5] When line items are mis‑keyed or omitted during order entry, the downstream effect is incorrect picking, short‑ships, and backorders. In paper wholesaling, where orders are often tied to time‑critical print jobs or recurring supply contracts, these errors can lead to: unbilled items (lines supplied later but never invoiced), order cancellations when customers source urgently from competitors, and lost upsell opportunities when bulk or substitute options are not surfaced at order‑capture time. Industry experience in wholesale distribution indicates that manual order errors and misallocations can easily erode 1–3 % of gross order value through write‑offs, credits and lost follow‑on sales. For a wholesale paper supplier with annual revenue of AUD 10 million, this implies revenue leakage of roughly AUD 100,000–300,000 per year attributable to the customer order entry and allocation process alone.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Wholesale paper distributors in Australia 🇦🇺 verlieren schätzungsweise 1–3 % des Auftragsvolumens pro Jahr durch Tippfehler, fehlende Positionen und Fehlallokationen. Automation of order capture and rules‑based allocation can recover AUD 100,000–300,000 of revenue for a AUD 10 Mio. distributor.
