AI in the Back Office: Automation Challenges

Food distributors lose hours every day to manual order entry. Retyping emails, PDFs, and even faxes into ERP systems. Error rates sit around 1-3%, staff turnover is rising, and scaling the back office feels impossible.

AI can automate the entire flow, but the road from manual to automated is full of practical hurdles. This whitepaper covers the 10 most common challenges and how to solve each one.
