Data Alchemy — Software IDP con AI
Manufacturing & Production Industry

IDP Software for the Manufacturing & Production Industry

Data Alchemy brings Intelligent Document Processing to the manufacturing and production industry. Manufacturers receive customer orders, supplier order confirmations, raw-material delivery notes, certificates of conformity and supplier invoices every day, in PDF, email and Excel. The multi-engine AI captures, extracts and validates the data from each document and writes it straight into your ERP or MES, with 99.8% accuracy (measured with Claude) and around 12 seconds of reading for a one-page document (average time with Claude Sonnet), so production starts without delays or transcription errors.

The challenges

The document challenges of the manufacturing industry

In manufacturing, a wrong figure upstream propagates along the whole chain: a misread order becomes a wrong job, an unrecorded supplier confirmation becomes a stopped line. Document automation closes these gaps.

  • Customer orders arriving by email and PDF, with item codes, quantities and delivery dates to enter into the system.
  • Supplier order confirmations to check against the purchase orders issued.
  • Raw-material and semi-finished delivery notes to register in stock in real time.
  • Certificates of conformity, quality and datasheets to archive and link to batches.
Documents

What makes the best IDP platform for manufacturing

The best IDP platform for manufacturing is not the one with the most generic features, but the one that recognises the documents typical of production — customer orders, supplier order confirmations, raw-material delivery notes and certificates of conformity — without templates and writes them straight into the ERP or MES. Data Alchemy is built for exactly this: turning every document into structured, validated data at the precise point of the production flow where it is needed.

For a manufacturer the difference comes down to three requirements: validation against item and supplier master data, which catches wrong codes before they become wrong jobs; automatic matching between order confirmations and the purchase orders issued; and batch traceability through certificates of conformity. An IDP platform for manufacturing that covers these three points removes data entry and protects line continuity.

With 99.8% accuracy (measured with Claude), reading in around 12 seconds for a one-page document (average time with Claude Sonnet) and connection to SAP, Zucchetti and TeamSystem through the AI agent or the REST API, Data Alchemy is the IDP platform built for manufacturers: data reaches planning clean, with no operator having to re-key orders, confirmations and delivery notes by hand.

How it works

How document automation works for manufacturing

From the document received to the data written into the ERP or MES, in four steps and with no manual transcription.

  1. 01

    Automatic capture

    Orders, confirmations, delivery notes and certificates arrive via email or monitored folder and are captured automatically, in any format.

  2. 02

    Multi-engine AI extraction

    The AI recognizes the document type and extracts item codes, quantities, batches and dates with 99.8% accuracy (measured with Claude).

  3. 03

    Validation against master data

    Data is validated against item, supplier and purchase-order master data, spotting deviations and non-matching codes.

  4. 04

    Writing into the ERP or MES

    Validated data is written automatically into the ERP or MES through the AI agent or Data Alchemy's REST API and webhooks, ready for production planning.

Integration

Native integration with production ERP and MES

Data Alchemy writes the extracted data straight into the ERP and MES you already use — SAP, Zucchetti, TeamSystem and the main production systems — through the AI agent or Data Alchemy's REST API and webhooks. Production receives clean, validated data, with no operator having to re-key orders, confirmations and delivery notes by hand.

FAQ

FAQ — Manufacturing

Yes. Data Alchemy extracts item codes, descriptions, quantities and delivery dates from customer orders in any format and validates them against the item master data in your ERP, flagging unrecognized codes before creating the order line.
Yes. The system automatically compares the order confirmation received with the purchase order issued, highlighting deviations in quantities, prices and delivery dates, so purchasing only acts on the exceptions.
Yes. We extract certificate number, batch, material and test values from certificates of conformity and quality and link them to the matching batch in the system, ensuring the traceability required by audits and customers.
Yes. We write the extracted data straight into the ERP or MES through the AI agent installed at your premises (a database, CSV/JSON/TXT files or APIs) or the REST API and webhooks, including for SAP, Zucchetti and TeamSystem, without replacing the systems you already use in production.
