Interstates cuts the manual work out of material management

With manual ordering and invoice matching off their plate, Interstates' teams now spend their time where it counts.

Challenge

Interstates' teams were caught in a cycle of time-consuming manual tasks. Engineers and field teams spent valuable hours managing material orders, matching invoices to purchase orders, and requesting specification sheets from vendors. This manual approach to material management pulled skilled professionals away from their core expertise in industrial automation.

Key Challenges:

  • Time-consuming material ordering processes
  • Manual invoice to PO matching
  • Repetitive vendor documentation requests
  • Complex information flow between field and office
