The Situation

Ritter Packaging processes over 500 orders daily, each generating multiple documents: order confirmations, production orders, delivery notes, and invoices. The manual handling of this document volume was consuming significant administrative resources.

With tight delivery schedules and demanding customers in the automotive and food industries, any delay in document processing directly impacted customer satisfaction and cash flow.

The accounting team spent 3+ hours daily on manual data entry from delivery notes to invoices, often working overtime to meet month-end deadlines.

We were hiring additional staff just to handle paperwork. Our skilled employees were doing repetitive data entry instead of value
