This is no longer just about removing manual steps. We are building a commerce operation that can increasingly make operational decisions autonomously — and that changes how we scale.

Challenge

Manual order entry was slowing growth and draining resources

Years of acquisitions left ACR with disconnected systems and heavily manual workflows — especially in order processing.

Key challenges included:

  • Orders arriving as unstructured PDFs via email
  • High manual workload for customer service
  • Frequent input errors triggering costly downstream issues
  • Lack of automation across core workflows
  • Fragmented post-merger system landscape
