HSO automates customer order processing with AI agent
HSO · Workflow automation · Microsoft
HSO has implemented an AI agent solution to completely automate the processing of customer orders arriving via email, including unstructured attachments such as PDFs, scans, and even photos. Many manufacturing companies face manual, error-prone handling of order data, leading to delays and mistakes. HSO’s platform uses Microsoft Azure OpenAI and Dynamics 365 to read, understand, and extract order data regardless of email or attachment format, eliminating the need for rigid templates. The system validates extracted data and, if uncertain, requests human review before auto-entering order details into Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations. The solution is modular, trainable, and can start with structured orders before expanding to more complex scenarios. HSO claims 550 hours saved per employee yearly, improved accuracy, faster confirmations, and a better customer experience. By combining industry knowledge with Microsoft technologies, HSO delivers scalable, production-ready AI for real-world order automation in manufacturing.
