Every logistics team has heard it:
“Sorry — it’ll ship tomorrow.”
What’s frustrating is that the order didn’t arrive late.
It arrived hours earlier.
So what went wrong?
Where the Delay Actually Happens
Here’s a common timeline:
- 9:10 AM — Customer emails a PDF Purchase Order
- 9:12 AM — Sales sees it
- All day — Meetings, calls, follow-ups
- 4:30 PM — Someone finally enters the order
- 5:00 PM — Shipping cut-off is missed
The warehouse did nothing wrong.
The delay happened before they even knew the order existed.
Why PDFs Cause This Problem
Purchase Orders usually arrive as PDFs or scans.
That means:
- Someone has to open them
- Read them
- Re-type SKUs, quantities, and customer details
- Then save everything into the CRM
Until that happens, the order is invisible to operations.
The Fix: Instant Order Intake
Teams using Scanny AI remove this gap.
When a PO arrives:
- The PDF is uploaded or saved to Drive
- Scanny AI extracts the order details automatically
- The CRM is updated instantly
- Operations sees the order minutes after it’s received
No waiting.
No re-typing.
No missed cut-offs.
Shipping on the Same Day Becomes Normal Again
When orders hit your system in real time:
- Warehouses plan earlier
- Pick-and-pack starts sooner
- Same-day shipping becomes reliable again
The fastest way to improve fulfillment speed isn’t hiring more staff — it’s fixing order intake.
