What Workist takes over in ORDAT.ERP

PDF orders and price inquiries from your inbox no longer need to be typed into ORDAT.ERP by hand. The Workist AI agent reads, validates and creates the sales order or quote. It only contacts your team when a business decision is needed.

Workist connects your sales inbox with ORDAT.ERP. Orders and price inquiries from email and PDF are read by the AI agent, validated against customers, items and delivery addresses, and created as a sales order or quote in ORDAT.ERP, directly via the REST API.

Workist handles order entry and inquiry processing in ORDAT.ERP

Both processes run in production at ORDAT.ERP customers such as COHLINE and Wilhelm Herm. Müller.

From inbox to ORDAT.ERP in four steps

The agent works in four steps. Each one is traceable in the Workist dashboard.

Step 1

Smart Inbox

Emails land in the Workist Smart Inbox or are forwarded to the agent. PDF, Excel and EDI attachments are read along with them. Nobody opens or sorts attachments by hand.

Step 2

Extraction

The agent reads header and line item data in context, regardless of layout, language or sender. Your team no longer retypes a single line item.

Step 3

Validation against ORDAT.ERP

The agent matches customers, delivery addresses, contacts, items and customer-specific item numbers against your ORDAT.ERP master data. It checks quantities against the decimal places allowed for the sales unit. When something is unclear, the agent asks your team.

Step 4

Creation in ORDAT.ERP

The sales order or quote is created in ORDAT.ERP via the REST API, with line items, customer order number, delivery address, and header and line texts. A note in the header text links back to the transaction in Workist.

What ORDAT.ERP customers get with Workist

Three things that set Workist apart from OCR, RPA and middleware.

1

Direct connection via the ORDAT.ERP web services

Workist reads customers, addresses, contacts and items via the ORDAT.ERP OData service. The agent writes sales orders and quotes back via the REST API. You need no middleware or CSV exports, and nothing changes in your client.

2

A proven use case at hundreds of companies

Automated order entry and inquiry processing is a proven use case that Workist runs at hundreds of companies. Workist maintains the ORDAT.ERP connection, so you need no integration project of your own and no external service provider.

3

Full audit trail for every transaction

Every document from Workist carries a note with the Workist transaction number in its header text. That is where you find the original PDF, the email and every decision the agent made. You never search your mailbox again.

Frequently asked questions

What prospects ask most often about ORDAT.ERP.

How do I automate order entry in ORDAT.ERP?

With Workist. An AI agent reads incoming orders and price inquiries from email and PDF, validates them against your ORDAT.ERP master data and creates them as a sales order or quote via the REST API. When something is unclear, the agent asks. Workist customers save an average of 3.6 minutes per order, around 90 percent of their previous processing time.

How does Workist integrate with ORDAT.ERP?

Directly via the ORDAT.ERP web services. Workist reads master data via the OData service and writes sales orders, quotes and texts via the REST API. You set up a technical user with the required rights for this. When the connection is saved, Workist automatically checks which operations this user may perform.

Which documents does the Workist agent create in ORDAT.ERP?

Sales orders and quotes, with line items, customer order number, delivery address, and header and line texts. The agent creates orders via the web shop interface or, if that is not enabled for you, via pre-orders. We set up additional fields during onboarding.

Does Workist check prices and stock before creating the order?

Yes. Checking prices and stock before an order is created is a proven use case that Workist runs at hundreds of companies. If something deviates, the agent flags it to your team before the order is created.

Do I need to change anything in ORDAT.ERP?

No. Workist uses the standard ORDAT.ERP web services. You need the web service enabled and a technical user for Workist, and our team handles the rest during onboarding. If your system runs in your own data center, we connect through a secured access with your certificate.

How long does the implementation take?

Usually a few weeks, from API access to go-live. It is not an IT project: no custom code in your client and no template training per supplier.

Are clients, business units and custom texts supported?

Yes. We set the client, business unit and sub-unit per connection, as well as the text contexts for header and line texts and the default shipment type. Free-text lines without an item number are booked to a placeholder item of your choice.

Where is the data stored?

In the EU. Workist is SOC 2 Type II certified, works GDPR-compliant, and a data processing agreement is available.

Is Workist different from an automation platform like n8n or Make?

Yes. Workist is a ready-made AI agent for orders and inquiries. Document understanding, master data matching and questions back to your team are built in. You build no flows. You connect ORDAT.ERP and start.
