This out-of-the-box agent transforms routine tasks, enabling businesses to save time, reduce manual effort, and enhance accuracy—all while delivering a superior customer experience.

The agent autonomously manages the full process of capturing sales orders from emails. It starts by analyzing incoming customer email requests from a shared mailbox, identifying the customer based on the Business Central database, and drafting a sales quote with the requested items. Once drafted, it verifies item availability in real time before forwarding the quote to the customer for review and approval. Upon receiving confirmation, the agent seamlessly converts the quote into a sales order and shares the finalized order with the customer—all through email automation.

With minimal user intervention required, businesses can trust the agent to handle complex workflows independently while notifying users only when human input is necessary.

This innovation empowers businesses by significantly reducing time spent on repetitive tasks, improving order accuracy, and accelerating order-to-cash cycles. By leveraging AI, companies can focus on strategic initiatives while leaving routine operations to intelligent automation. The Sales Order Agent not only boosts operational efficiency but also enhances customer satisfaction through faster responses and seamless interactions.
