From manual PDF-to-Excel conversion
to autonomous ERP import
Brown Strauss Steel sales teams spent an hour per customer order converting PDFs to Excel and manually uploading to SyteLine ERP. A Nanonets agent now extracts 4 key fields per line item and imports structured data directly — in under 10 minutes.
Brown Strauss Steel is a leading steel distributor serving customers across the United States. Their sales teams handle thousands of customer order PDFs annually, each requiring precise line item data to be entered into SyteLine ERP for order processing.
The Problem
Brown Strauss Steel sales teams received customer order PDFs containing SKU-level line items. Each document required the same grueling manual loop: convert PDF to Excel, reformat extensively to match SyteLine's schema, then upload — with a single formatting error capable of breaking the entire workflow.
- —~1 hour per document lost to PDF conversion, reformatting, and manual upload.
- —Single formatting error broke the entire SyteLine import, requiring the process to restart.
- —Evaluated 7–8 platforms before finding Nanonets capable of meeting their accuracy needs.
Our sales team was earlier using PDF to Excel conversion…a single error would break the entire process. Nanonets extracted data with over 95% accuracy.
The solution
One extraction agent. From customer PDF to ERP in minutes.
Nanonets replaced the manual PDF-to-Excel-to-ERP loop with one autonomous agent. The agent ingests incoming customer order PDFs, parses the table structure, extracts all four key fields per line item, validates the output, and imports directly into SyteLine ERP — no human in the loop for clean documents.
