When manual entry is enough
When you only receive a few requests a day, from a few customers, with simple references.

As soon as customer requests take up a significant share of your team’s time, or data entry errors carry a cost: returns, credit notes, unhappy customers.

Your questions, answered.
What does manual entry really cost?
Multiply the number of requests per day by the average handling time, then by your team’s hourly cost. At 40 requests of 6 minutes each, that is around 4 hours a day, before correcting any errors.
Does automation remove all human control?
No. Orkest Order automatically processes compliant requests and passes anomalies to your team.
