Webinar: Exploring Manufacturing Supply Chain Efficiency

Modern manufacturing supply chains face constant pressure managing high-volume, high-complexity environments where the margin for error is small. Despite the push for digital transformation, many supply chain teams rely on manual processes, handling order confirmations,

Advanced Shipping Notices (ASNs) and invoices through fragmented email chains and repetitive ERP validation tasks.

These manual bottlenecks create significant risk and prevent supply chains from delivering the resilience and agility required in a volatile global market. To address these challenges, many industry leaders are evolving their technology infrastructure.

The shift involves moving toward a more intelligent Source-to-Pay model that strengthens supply chain connectivity. By enhancing platforms like JAGGAER ONE with AI-powered document intelligence and integrated EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) automation, companies can finally eliminate the requirement for human intervention in routine transactions.

The goal is to make transition manufacturing supply chains from reactive, manual coordination to intelligent, autonomous operation.

This evolution allows organisations to scale across thousands of suppliers, including tail-spend partners who may lack full EDI capabilities, by using AI to capture data from unstructured formats like PDF email attachments and routing them seamlessly into digital workflows.

In an upcoming exclusive webinar, leaders from JAGGAER and Global Digital Post will reveal how manufacturing giants are eliminating operational friction and bridging the gap between manual chaos and autonomous excellence. From Manual to Autonomous: How Manufacturers Are Automating Procurement with AI & EDI takes place on 16 April 2026 at 3:00pm GMT.

A success story

During the webinar, experts will dive into a real-world manufacturing use case featuring SICK AG, a global leader in sensor intelligence.

Attendees will see how implementing structured, AI-driven automation helps manufacturers reduce operational costs, increase supply chain stability with faster order confirmations and ensure global compliance to future-proof the business.

The current trend is about moving manufacturing supply chains from reactive and manual to intelligent and automated.

Closing the efficiency gap

To explore these themes further, Director of BizClik Studio, Ella Wilkinson will moderate a panel discussion featuring Michael Roesch (SVP Global Direct Advisory, JAGGAER), Wolfgang Winstel (VP Sales, Global Digital Post) and Christoph Jasser (Technical Manager, Global Digital Post).

The session will provide a roadmap for supply chain leaders and CPOs to design a scalable automation strategy, where attendees will learn how to:

• Identify manual bottlenecks: Discover where email-based confirmations and invoice handling are draining resources
• Differentiate AI vs OCR: Understand how AI-driven intelligence handles complex, multi-language supplier documents
• Achieve 90%+ straight-through processing: Learn the mechanics of automating purchase orders and ASNs without manual intervention
• Build a compelling business case: Quantify cost savings and efficiency gains to align supply chain initiatives with broader corporate digital goals
