MaterLog is committed to making your procurement experience as seamless as possible, and one of the ways we do this is by automating order updates. In this post, we'll guide you through the simple process of automating order updates on MaterLog.

Why Automate Order Updates?

Automating order updates can save you time and reduce the risk of errors. Instead of manually inputting order information into the system, you can have it updated automatically, ensuring that your data is always current and accurate. This automation can lead to better decision-making, improved efficiency, and a smoother procurement process.

How to Automate Order Updates on MaterLog

Automating order updates on MaterLog is a straightforward process. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Forward Emails: Simply forward the order confirmation or update emails you receive from your suppliers to your designated MaterLog email address. This email address is unique to your organization and can be found in your MaterLog settings.

  2. Automatic Data Extraction: Once we receive your email, our system automatically extracts the relevant order information using advanced data parsing technology.

  3. System Update: The extracted data is then automatically updated in your MaterLog system, ensuring that your order information is always up-to-date.

  4. Confirmation: You can opt to receive immediate, daily or weekly confirmation notifications with successfully processed information.

Tips for Efficient Automation

  • Use a Consistent Email Format: Encourage your suppliers to use a consistent format for order confirmation and update emails. This consistency helps our system to accurately extract the necessary information.

  • Regularly Check Your Settings: Make sure that the designated MaterLog email address is up-to-date in your settings to ensure seamless automation.

  • Monitor Your Updates: While automation greatly reduces the need for manual intervention, it's still a good practice to periodically check your order updates for accuracy.

Conclusion

Automating order updates on MaterLog is an easy and effective way to streamline your procurement process. By following the simple steps outlined above, you can ensure that your order information is always current, allowing you to make informed decisions and focus on what matters most - growing your business.
