Chemical distribution POs are dense and detail-heavy

Container size and packaging change the SKU

The same chemical in a drum, a tote, or bulk delivery is a different line item entirely. Manual entry has to catch packaging detail that is easy to skim past.

Spec and grade numbers ride alongside product names

A PO line might reference both a product name and a spec or grade number. Getting the match right means capturing both, not just one.

Order volume outpaces manual review capacity

Chemical distributors often run high line-item counts per order. The more lines on a PO, the more places a manual re-key can quietly introduce an error.

How POFlow handles it

POFlow extracts container size, spec numbers, and product detail from every line on a chemical distribution PO, then runs each item through 4-stage matching against your catalog. High-confidence lines move straight through, and anything uncertain is flagged before it reaches your ERP.

Packaging-aware extraction

Captures container size and packaging detail as part of each line item, not just the product name.

Spec-level matching

Matches on spec and grade detail in addition to product name for accurate catalog matching.

Confidence routing

High-confidence lines auto-approve. Low-confidence lines go to review before they touch your system.

Questions from chemical distribution distributors

Does POFlow capture container size and packaging detail separately from the product?+

Yes. POFlow extracts each line item as written on the PO, including packaging and container detail, so a drum order and a tote order for the same chemical are matched as distinct line items.

How does POFlow handle high line-count orders?+

Extraction runs across the full document regardless of line count, averaging 11 seconds per PO in production, with confidence scoring on every individual line.

What happens if a spec number does not match anything in my catalog?+

That line is routed to the review queue rather than auto-approved, so a human confirms the match before it moves forward.

Can I export matched orders directly into my ERP?+

Yes. POFlow exports structured Excel and CSV output built for ERP and accounting import, including a GlobalShop mapper.
