Fasteners

PO processing for fastener distributors

Fastener catalogs run into the thousands of near-identical SKUs. POFlow extracts every dimension and matches it to the exact part in your system.

Fastener POs live and die on tiny differences

A quarter inch of length is a different part number

A 1/4-20 x 1" bolt and a 1/4-20 x 1.25" bolt are different SKUs entirely. Manual entry has to catch every dimension precisely, every time.

Material, grade, and finish all stack onto one line

The same nominal fastener can exist across multiple materials, grades, and finishes. Getting one of those wrong means shipping the wrong part.

Prefix chaos is the worst here of any category

With SKU counts running into the thousands, customer-specific prefixes like CMI-, BER-, LIN- create more room for mismatch than almost any other product category.

How POFlow handles it

POFlow extracts full part specification, size, thread, material, grade, and finish, for every line on a fastener PO, then runs it through 4-stage matching against your catalog. The system is built to hold precision across thousands of near-identical SKUs rather than approximate it.

Full specification capture

Extracts size, thread, material, grade, and finish as distinct fields, not a single blended description.

Precision matching

4-stage matching designed to distinguish near-identical SKUs rather than round to the closest match.

Confidence gating

Anything below 85% confidence goes to review instead of risking a wrong-part shipment.

Questions from fasteners distributors

Can POFlow distinguish between fasteners that differ by a fraction of an inch?+

Yes. POFlow extracts full specification detail, size, thread, material, grade, and finish, as distinct fields so near-identical SKUs are matched precisely rather than approximated.

How does POFlow handle customer-specific part-number prefixes at high SKU volume?+

The 4-stage matching process normalizes prefixes like CMI-, BER-, LIN- against your catalog, and the system learns from corrections, which matters most in categories with very high SKU counts like fasteners.

What happens when POFlow is not confident about a match?+

Any line below the 85% confidence threshold is routed to a human review queue rather than auto-approved, so a mismatched fastener never ships based on a guess.

How fast is extraction on a long fastener PO?+

Live production averages 11 seconds per PO and 94% average extraction confidence, regardless of line count.
