(Global Shop Solutions: The Woodlands, TX) -- Global Shop Solutions, a leading provider of ERP software for manufacturers worldwide, has announced two new AI-powered features designed to make everyday manufacturing processes faster, more accurate, and easier to manage.

AI Accounts Payable (AP) Automation and AI Sales Order Entry continue the company’s mission to simplify manufacturing by reducing manual tasks and empowering customers to focus on high-value work.

AI AP Automation simplifies invoice management by automatically scanning invoices, extracting key data, and sending it directly into the ERP system. This feature matches invoices with purchase order (PO) receipts, cutting the time and effort traditionally required for manual data entry. Manufacturers benefit from greater accuracy, reduced administrative overhead, and faster invoice processing.

“AI AP Automation transforms one of the most time-consuming back-office processes into a seamless, nearly effortless step,” says Trent Maynard, director of product and engineering at Global Shop Solutions. “By automating data entry, our customers save valuable hours, eliminate costly errors, and free up staff to focus on more strategic initiatives.”

AI Sales Order Entry introduces a smarter way for staff to process POs, using AI to read order details and populate them directly into the ERP system. Eliminating the need for manual order entry enables personnel to focus on reviewing, validating, and adjusting entries with ease. The result is faster turnaround times, fewer entry errors, and smoother operations across the board. It speeds up the process and also improves customer experience by giving staff more time to build relationships and resolve exceptions with confidence.

These new AI capabilities reflect Global Shop Solutions’ commitment to removing complexity and helping manufacturers go from good to great.

“As we continue to integrate AI into our ERP software, we’re providing modern technology that improves accuracy, saves time, and helps our customer make a quality part on time, every time,” says Dusty Alexander, president and CEO of Global Shop Solutions. “This is one of the many ways our ERP is their most valuable asset.”
