ConvaTec automates Order Management process with Esker

Derby, UK — July 15, 2021 — Esker, a global cloud platform and leader in AI-driven process automation solutions for finance and customer service functions, today announced that ConvaTec, a global medical products and technologies provider, has automated its order management process using Esker’s Order Management solution.

As part of a global Customer Services transformation program, ConvaTec sought to remove manual tasks from their order management process. Reducing manual keying of orders is key to facilitating better service provided by ConvaTec’s Customer Service centres.

Esker’s automation solution was selected for a number of reasons, including global support capabilities, multi-language Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology and connectivity with ConvaTec’s SAP ERP. Additionally, Esker’s Synergy technology demonstrated a high level of first time recognition rates on sample data. Synergy is the AI-based order recognition technology that enables Esker’s solution users to experience first-rate data capture from day one by leveraging labelled data accumulated from the millions of documents processed on its platform over more than a decade. Esker’s Technical Director, Wynne Jones, commented: “By applying our deep learning techniques typically used in facial recognition or natural language processing to business documents, the “brain” embedded in the solution is an expert at extracting data from customer orders”.
