Automatic reading of purchase orders
At TDM, orders arrive by email. We connected the inbox to Odoo: the automation reads the messages, creates the order and matches products, sizes, quantities and addresses itself. No more manual rekeying.

Where we started
Every order received by email had to be read, then entered by hand in Odoo: identify the products, find the right references, copy sizes and quantities, fill in the delivery address. Repetitive, time-consuming work, open to transcription errors, and it took time with every new order.
What we built
We connected TDM's mailbox to Odoo with an automation that:
- Reads incoming emails that contain orders.
- Creates the order in Odoo, with no manual entry.
- Matches the data to the catalogue: products, sizes, quantities and the other details of the order.
- Fills in the address and delivery information.
The order arrives in Odoo already structured and ready to be processed.
What it changed
- Time saved on every order, because manual entry disappears.
- Fewer rekeying errors on references, sizes and quantities.
- Orders handled faster, as soon as they arrive.
- A team focused on follow-up and customer service rather than data entry.
