What this estimate means

Your current order process may be tying up more than six full workweeks every month.

Most of that time is usually spent translating order formats, checking details, and entering data into downstream systems.

The savings opportunity grows as more buyers order through different channels.

WHAT DRIVES THE COST

The problem is not order volume. It is order variation.

LBM teams rarely lose time in one obvious place. The cost builds up across every manual touch between the buyer’s order and your ERP, warehouse, finance, shipping, and fulfillment workflows.

01

Different partners, different formats
One buyer sends EDI. Another emails a PDF. Another uses a portal. Your team still has to turn every order into clean, usable data.

02

Manual validation slows the desk
Missing SKUs, incomplete addresses, pricing questions, and inventory checks create follow-up work before the order can move.

03

Every exception adds hidden labour
Even a small amount of manual order handling becomes expensive when it repeats hundreds or thousands of times per month.
THE REFRAME

This is not a staffing problem. It is a workflow problem.

Hiring more people or forcing buyers into a portal does not solve the root issue. The better model is to accept orders the way partners already send them, then standardize what happens after.
