For wholesalers and manufacturers running Business Central

The problem

Sound familiar?

Orders are typed in by hand

Every PDF and every phone order has to be entered into Business Central by hand. It takes hours, every single day.

Mistakes cost money

One wrong item number or quantity turns into a wrong delivery, a credit note and an unhappy customer.

It all rests on one person

When the person who types the orders is off sick or on holiday, the backlog piles up.

The obvious answer is "a webshop" or "an EDI project". But your customers want to order the way they always have. And they should be allowed to.

How it works

From email to Business Central. Without new workflows.

1

The document arrives

However your customers prefer: an email you forward (or auto-forward), or a form where they can upload documents. That can be a ready-made page we host for you, or a form placed directly on your own website. You choose the channels.

E-mail Form File upload
2

Doclane reads and understands the content

Whether it is an order, a claim, product data or a new customer: the AI finds the right details such as customer, item numbers, quantities, prices and company registration number, and matches them against your own master data in Business Central.

3

The record is ready in Business Central

Sales order, claim, item or customer is created in the right place in BC. You approve with one click, or let regular customers flow straight through. If the AI is unsure, it asks instead of guessing.

What it means for you

Less typing. More business.

1

Get the hours back

What used to take many minutes per order now takes seconds. Your people spend their time on customers instead of data entry.

2

Fewer errors, fewer credit notes

Doclane matches against your master data in Business Central. Wrong item numbers and quantities are caught before they become wrong deliveries.

3

Grow without hiring to type

More orders no longer means more hands in administration. Capacity scales with you, even when the key person is on holiday.

Everything your customers send

One system for every document that lands with you.

Customer orders

PDF, Excel, free-text emails and purchase orders from the customer's own system. Created as sales orders in BC with the right item numbers and prices.

Supplier invoices

Invoices are read and created as structured records in Business Central, with amounts, lines and supplier matched against your master data.

Claims

Shortages, damage and incorrect deliveries. Created as structured records in BC so they can be handled right away instead of gathering dust in an inbox.

Product data

Item information from suppliers: item numbers, prices, descriptions and specifications. Created or updated as items in Business Central, matched against your master data.

Customer onboarding

New customers are validated against official company registers and VIES and completed in two steps before becoming a customer record in finance or Business Central.

Every type ends up in the same place: as correct records in your Business Central.

Sales orders

Orders become sales orders, checked and ready.

An order should not just be typed in. Doclane reads the lines, matches item numbers and pulls the customer's own prices from Business Central before the order is approved and created.

Item numbers matched against BC Prices pulled from BC · customer-specific
Step 1 · The customer

The customer sends the order

By email, form or upload the customer sends their order. Doclane reads line items and quantities automatically, even from free text in an email.

Item numbers Quantity Delivery date Customer
Step 2 · Approval

The order is approved in one screen

A magic link opens the order as a shopping cart. You decide who approves, whether that is the customer, the sales rep or both. Small orders below a value threshold can flow through automatically.

Reklamationer

Claims handled, from complaint to credit note.

A claim requires a decision. Doclane matches it against the original order or invoice, and your own workflow decides what happens.

Step 1 · The customer

The customer reports the problem

By email or form the customer describes a shortage, damage or incorrect delivery, ideally with photos. Doclane finds the original order and the affected line items.

Order no. Item numbers Quantity Reason
Step 2 · The workflow

Your workflow decides the action

The workflows you have built decide what happens: credit note, return order or new invoice on over- or under-delivery, automatically or with a human involved, exactly as you want.

Produktdata

Product data created, complete and coded.

New items from suppliers need enriching before they can be used. Doclane reads the product sheet and lets an employee complete the details before the item is created or updated in Business Central.

Step 1 · The supplier

The supplier sends product data

Product sheets, price lists or data sheets arrive by email or upload. Doclane reads item numbers, descriptions and specifications automatically.

Step 2 · Optional

An employee enriches it, if you want

You decide: let an employee add HS codes, item group, prices and units before the item is created, or send it straight to BC automatically.

Customer onboarding

New customers created properly, validated and in two steps.

A new customer should not just be typed in. Doclane validates the company against official company registers and VIES, and a sales rep can complete the details before a customer record is created in finance or Business Central.

Company register lookup · name, address, status VIES · VAT number verified
Step 1 · The customer

The customer fills in the basics

Through a form or an email the customer sends their company name and registration number. Doclane looks up the rest automatically: address, VAT number and company status, validated against the company register and VIES immediately.

Company name Company reg. no. Address VAT no. (VIES)
Step 2 · Optional

A sales rep completes it, if you want

You choose: let a sales rep add price group, payment terms and account via magic link before the customer is created, or create the customer record automatically straight away.

Trust & questions

What you are probably thinking right now.

Do our customers have to change anything?
No. They send orders exactly as they do today. They will not even notice Doclane exists.
Do we have to change our workflows?
No. The orders simply appear in Business Central instead of having to be typed. You decide whether they are approved manually or run automatically.
What if the AI reads something wrong?
Doclane matches everything against your master data and shows you what it found before anything is posted. If it is unsure, it asks. You always have the final say.
Where is our data stored?
Exclusively on servers in the EU. All systems behind Doclane, including the AI, run in Europe. Your documents never leave the EU.
How long does it take to get started?
Onboarding typically takes less than a day, and your BC partner or we handle the setup. You do not have to build anything yourself.
