Manual entry was eating the day. Surge days were the worst.
B2B orders at The Unscented Company arrived as PDFs and emails, in whatever format the customer chose. Someone on customer service had to read each one, find every SKU in Odoo, transcribe quantities, capture freight notes, and build the order line by line.
“Before LevelOps, B2B orders were entered manually or with Excel macros. Manual processing made the workload very unpredictable, especially on days with large orders that took enormous amounts of time. Macros were a good short-term fix, but they required significant changes every time a customer changed their PO format.”Zaid Harti, Customer Service
For Anie, the cost wasn’t only measured in hours. It was measured on people.
“Manual order entry created major challenges: a time-consuming process, a high error rate, and a negative impact on our customer service team’s motivation. The repetitive nature of those tasks made employee retention difficult.”Anie Rouleau, Founder & CEO
- 1 to 3 hours per agent per day lost to manual order entry
- Surge days bottlenecking everything else on the team’s plate
- Macros breaking every time a customer changed their PO format
- Fragile in-house automation requiring constant internal maintenance
- Repetitive copy-paste work putting retention at risk in customer service
