How it Works
1. Assess PDF
For each variation of PDF format you receive from your customers, an assessment will be performed by an OrderEase data specialist. This assessment is to determine if the PDF can be mapped to extract the data.
2. PDF Mapping
PDF's which meet the criteria can be mapped by an OrderEase data specialist for data extraction.
3. Account Configuration
- Creation of OrderEase account (if an account doesn't already exist).
- Add customer company data to your OrderEase account.
- Add product data to your OrderEase account. This is optional, but creates better order validation.
- Technical set up for receiving PDF's from customers.
4. Testing and Order Validation
Testing will be performed using sample orders you provide. The output can either be a csv export or directly into your ERP via integration if you are integrated.
4. Launch!
Once you verify the test orders are generating the correct data output, you are ready to release this new functionality to your customers.

FAQ
Do I need to have all products and pricing listed in OrderEase for this to work?
No.
The absolute minimum we need to set up is your customer company information. This is needed so you are able to associate the order when you import to your ERP.
If you don't have products in our system for the order to cross reference, based on your settings, we will be generate products based on the data within the order. If you do have products, this provides an extra layer of validation so order errors can be detected before they get to your order desk for import.
Do I need to have my ERP system integrated with OrderEase?
An integration is not necessary for this to work for you and save hours of data entry time. To get started, we can set up a manual system to export orders.
There are many options to semi-automate or automate this process for you, we can discuss all of these when we review your PDF assessment.
I have a lot of customers who submit via PDF, can you handle this?
Yes, as long as we are able to map the PDF orders, we will be able to handle orders from as many customers as you need.
What will my customers need to do to get these orders to you?
We have a couple of ways of handling how PDF orders can be sent to us for digital conversion.
1. We can make this process invisible to your customer by having your team set up email forwarding rules to send us the orders via email.
2. You can provide your customer with an email address to include as a "send to" address when they send orders to your team.
The options are really up to you on the visibility and process.
