Whether you’re managing production batches, designing simulations, tracking assets, or ensuring compliance, the Datacor ecosystem provides the solutions you need to work smarter and more efficiently. 

What’s New? Business Automation 

ERP: Faster Orders, Smarter Reconciliation 

The latest Datacor ERP updates enhance financial management with greater automation, intelligence, and real-time visibility. New sales order automation uses AI-powered data capture to extract information directly from PDFs, understand context, adapt to new formats, handle varied layouts, and automatically create sales orders in Datacor ERP. This eliminates manual entry, reduces errors, and accelerates processing. Adding AI to PDF processing improves efficiency, enhances customer service, and speeds order turnaround. 

Datacor ERP now also securely connects to multiple bank accounts, synchronizing transaction data in real time. Dynamic dashboards provide finance teams with instant insight into reconciliation status, unmatched transactions, and cash flow trends—improving accuracy, reducing manual effort, and accelerating the financial close process. 

Key Benefits: 

• Streamlined automation for sales orders and payment handling 

• Reduced manual data entry and error risk 

• Greater transparency into cash flow and performance
