Global Shop Solutions has introduced two new AI-powered features designed to make manufacturing processes faster, more accurate and easier to manage. AI Accounts Payable (AP) Automation and AI Sales Order Entry continue the company’s mission to simplify manufacturing by reducing manual tasks and empowering customers to focus on high-value work.

AI AP Automation streamlines invoice management by automatically scanning invoices, extracting key data and sending it directly into the ERP system. The feature matches invoices with purchase order (PO) receipts, cutting the time and effort required for manual data entry. Manufacturers benefit from greater accuracy, reduced administrative overhead and faster invoice processing.

“AI AP Automation transforms one of the most time-consuming back-office processes into a seamless, nearly effortless step. By automating data entry, our customers save valuable hours, eliminate costly errors and free up staff to focus on more strategic initiatives.” — Trent Maynard, Director of Product & Engineering

AI Sales Order Entry introduces a smarter way to process POs. Using AI to read order details and populate them directly into the ERP system, the tool eliminates manual order entry and enables personnel to focus on reviewing, validating and adjusting entries efficiently. The result is faster turnaround times, fewer entry errors and smoother operations across the board. It also improves the customer experience by giving staff more time to build relationships and handle exceptions confidently.

These new AI capabilities underscore Global Shop Solutions’ commitment to removing complexity and helping manufacturers go from good to great.

“As we continue to integrate AI into our ERP software, we’re providing modern technology that improves accuracy, saves time and helps our customers make a quality part on time, every time. This is one of the many ways our ERP is their most valuable asset.” — Dusty Alexander, President & CEO
