From 80 manual verifiers to automated
PR-to-quote matching
Schneider Electric's procurement teams matched every purchase requisition against its vendor quote by hand before a PO could be issued. Nanonets now extracts each quote so Schneider's automation verifies the match and issues the PO without the manual review.
Schneider Electric SE is a global leader in energy management and industrial automation, serving customers in over 100 countries with solutions ranging from electrical distribution to digital transformation for industry.
The Problem
Before a purchase order could be issued, every purchase requisition had to be checked line-by-line against its attached vendor quote — vendor, dates, payment terms, VAT, fees, totals, and each line item. Roughly 80 people did this by hand across 70 countries (6 in NAM alone), at ~40K PRs per year in each region.
- —~80 people manually verifying PR-to-quote matches across 70 countries.
- —~60% duplicate files.The same quote re-uploaded months apart inflated page counts.
- —A contract sized for 90K pages/year met real volumes near ~1.5M, creating overage exposure and budget friction.
Verifying every requisition against its vendor quote by hand was tying up teams in dozens of countries. Nanonets extracts each quote so our automation confirms the match before the PO goes out. And consolidating our page capacity let us scale into real volumes without overage. It's already freed up multiple full-time roles in Europe.
The solution
One extraction model. PR-to-quote verified. PO issued automatically.
Nanonets extracts every vendor quote — document type, dates, terms, VAT, fees, totals, and each line item — and hands the structured data to Schneider's automation, which matches it against the purchase requisition. Duplicates are skipped, matches trigger the PO, and only genuine mismatches route to a buyer.
