Achieving 60% Faster PO Processing with Agentforce-Driven Automation for an Industrial Leader

About The Client

The Client is a globally recognized, publicly listed industrial solutions provider specializing in engineered systems and consumables for process industries such as pulp & paper, food processing, textiles, and metals. With operations spanning multiple geographies and complex enterprise systems, the client manages high transaction volumes across its sales and order management ecosystem.

Challenges

The Client faced significant operational inefficiencies in its purchase order (PO) processing due to fragmented systems and manual workflows:

  • High PO Volume & Complexity
    Hundreds of POs were received across multiple formats, channels, and ERP systems, making standardization and processing increasingly difficult.

  • Manual Validation Bottlenecks
    Teams had to manually validate POs against quotes and opportunities, leading to delays, inconsistencies, and dependency on human intervention.

  • Disjointed CRM–ERP Ecosystem
    Limited integration between Salesforce and ERP systems resulted in duplicate data entry, delayed processing, and operational silos.

  • Data Inconsistencies & Errors
    Variations in PO formats and manual handling caused frequent data inaccuracies, impacting billing, and downstream processes.

  • Lack of Visibility & SLA Risks
    Absence of real-time tracking led to missed follow-ups, poor SLA adherence, and limited operational transparency.

Solutions

Saksoft implemented an Agentforce-powered intelligent automation framework to transform the client’s Quote-to-Cash process:
