What Parashift handles

From SKU allocation to deep ERP integration.

Intelligent SKU and product allocation

Customer descriptions and supplier part numbers are automatically assigned to your internal SKUs, even with different descriptions, format changes or new suppliers. The specialized VLM bridges the translation gap deterministically, not probabilistically.

Dynamic unit conversion

Quantity discrepancies between customer orders and ERP master data are automatically recognized and resolved — “boxes” to “pieces”, price units to stock units. Inventory errors are prevented before they even occur.

Automated price and contract review

Each item is automatically checked against active contracts and open offers. Price deviations are reported before booking — fully logged, auditable, without manual effort for your sales team.

Trust Layer — Human in the Loop for exceptions

Only positions below the confidence threshold are forwarded to the team. The ergonomic dashboard enables quick clarification with full traceability before closing — EU AI Act Art. 14 compliant.

Multichannel acquisition without media discontinuity

Orders via PDF attachment, email, portal upload or mobile scan are consolidated and normalized in a single, sovereign workflow — no manual re-sorting, no parallel systems.

Deep ERP integration for “touchless” input

Validated order payloads are transferred directly to SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage and other ERP systems — seconds after receipt of the order, without manual data entry and without an intermediate US cloud station.

How does Parashift deal with customer orders that are received in different formats (PDF, Excel, e-mail)?

We know that customers submit their orders in the way they prefer: scans, digital PDFs, Excel spreadsheets or even inline emails. Unlike old-school OCR, which fails when layout changes, Parashift uses AI-based document understanding. This AI cluster has already sifted through millions of documents in various industries. Rather than relying on rigid templates, it “reads” the document like a human and immediately recognizes where the order number, line items and delivery dates are located, regardless of the layout.

Can your AI really extract complex line items without errors?

Yes, the real work takes place in the line items. We not only record the total amount, but also extract SKU numbers, descriptions, quantities and unit prices line by line. Our AI is trained to deal with multi-page tables and complex grid structures. Crucially, we offer a human-in-the-loop validation option. If the AI is ever unsure, it flags it for a quick human check, ensuring 100% data accuracy before the data reaches your ERP system.

Can this system be integrated into my existing ERP system (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, etc.)?

Exactly. We believe that automation should adapt to your process, not the other way around. Parashift is designed as an API-first platform with pre-built connectors for major ERP systems such as SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Sage. With custom configurations, you can use our modern REST API to feed validated order data directly into your system in real time.

What happens if a customer’s order does not match our internal article numbers (SKUs)?

This is a classic problem that we solve with AI-based master data matching. When we extract a description like “Red Widget XL” from a customer’s PDF, our system can match it with your internal master data to find the right SKU. We can automatically flag discrepancies, so your team can resolve the issue immediately instead of having to wait until after the order has been booked.

Is my order data EU-sovereign and GDPR-compliant?

Yes — and this is a structural feature, not an add-on. All data is processed exclusively in certified EU data centers (ISO 27001, SOC2, C5). Parashift is fully GDPR-compliant, EU AI Act-ready and offers country-specific compliance zones for Germany and Switzerland. Zero retention policy: your order data is not stored after processing.

How long does it take before you can implement it and benefit from it?

Our goal is days, not months. Because Parashift is a cloud-native solution with no code, you don’t have to spend weeks setting up complex templates for each of your clients. Most of our customers see a significant reduction in processing time (up to 75% faster) within the first few weeks and a return on investment.

One use case among several.

Invoice processing and digital mailroom follow the same principle: read, verify, process sovereignly.
