Manufacturing
The plant runs on SAP. The paperwork shouldn't slow it down.
Supplier invoices, production confirmations, quality certificates, material requests and customer orders. Artificio captures, understands and validates the documents and data your plant runs on, then executes the right transaction in SAP. Built for your existing ECC or S/4HANA environment.

The problem
The plant is fast. The paperwork behind it is not.
Supplier invoices, production confirmations, quality certificates, material requests and customer orders all end up in SAP, and each one is read, checked and keyed by a person first. The transaction waits on the typing.
What comes into Artificio
From any manufacturing document to SAP.
Your plant's information arrives in every shape, from suppliers, from the floor, from customers. Artificio takes it in whatever form it comes and turns it into structured, validated SAP data.
From suppliers
- Invoices
- Certificates of analysis
- Packing lists
- Specifications
From production
- Time tickets
- Production & confirmation sheets
- Quality records
- Inspection forms
From customers
- Purchase orders
- Order changes
- Forecasts
- Delivery schedules

Accross the plant
Automation by plant function.
One platform across the plant: each area validated against SAP and executed directly in it. Explore the solution for the function you own.
- 01
Quality Management
SAP QMManufacturing specialtyTurn supplier COAs, quality specifications and inspection documents into validated SAP QM data. Extract characteristics and limits, match them against SAP master data, record inspection results, route out-of-spec exceptions for review, and automate the creation of quality master data.
- 02
Procurement & Accounts Payable
SAP FI · MMCapture supplier invoices, match them three-way against POs and goods receipts, handle exceptions, and post to SAP, plus reconcile supplier statements against open items so nothing slips.
- 03
Order Management
SAP SDTurn inbound customer POs (in any format, from any customer), into validated SAP sales orders, and handle order changes automatically, so orders don't wait in an inbox and deliveries don't slip.
- 04
Master Data
SAP MM · FI · SD · WMCreate material, vendor and customer master right the first time: duplicate-checked, validated across every view, and governed through a cross-department workflow. Load data fast and clean for an S/4HANA migration, then govern it day to day.
- 05
Production & the shop floor
SAP PPGet real production into SAP without a shift's delay: read paper time tickets and confirmation slips, or put a digital operator app on the floor for live clock-in, actual costing and late-order alerts. No new floor hardware.
Built for exceptions
Automation that knows when not to automate.
Straight-through transactions are the easy part. The real work is what happens when things don't match, and that's where most automation quietly breaks. Artificio handles the clean cases automatically and routes exceptions to the right person, with the SAP context needed to resolve them.

More than document AI
Why a manufacturer shouldn't just buy OCR.
Generic document AI can read a document. It can't check your SAP data, run a three-way match, apply your business rules, handle the exception, post the transaction, or prove what happened. That's the part that actually runs your plant.

Whether you're running SAP ECC, moving to S/4HANA, or already live on S/4HANA, Artificio works alongside your SAP landscape using standard enterprise integration, without modifying your SAP core.

- Runs on ECC and S/4HANA alike
- Standard SAP interfaces: no core modification
- Finished automation, not a toolkit to build
- No new floor hardware to deploy
- On-prem, your cloud, or ours: data stays where you want
- Led by 21+ years of hands-on SAP delivery
Where manufacturers lose time
What does one manual SAP process cost you?
Take a single high-volume process (supplier invoices, say), and do the math on the manual effort alone. The hidden costs sit underneath it.
Calculate your automation opportunity- Documents / month
- 10,000
- Minutes / transaction
- × 6
- Manual effort
- 1,000 hrs / mo
+ rework & corrections
+ delayed postings
+ downstream MRP & delivery errors
Illustrative framework, not a quoted result. Figures depend on your volumes and processes.
What this looks like in practice
SAP QM data migration, transformed.
Artificio transformed a backlog of quality documents into structured, SAP-ready QM data (extracting characteristics and results, validating them, and preparing them for load), dramatically reducing manual migration effort.
- 3 months → 3 days
- QM migration effort
