ACS eliminates manual PO keying with Lido, reclaiming 30 hours per week at 99.5–100% accuracy

The problem

ACS receives purchase orders daily across PDFs, spreadsheets, images, and email text, requiring manual keying of line-item data into their ERP — a slow, error-prone process that consumed team bandwidth and risked downstream inventory discrepancies, order errors, shipment delays, and payment errors.
