OCR for NetSuite: Automate and Simplify Order Processing 

The Smartes OCR Solution is an advanced OCR for NetSuite designed to automate emails — whether in the email body, PDF, Word, or Excel formats — into clean, accurate NetSuite records without manual entry. Using advanced OCR and document-matching logic, the solution reads incoming customer orders, extracts all key fields, and automatically creates the corresponding Sales Order, Purchase Order, or Estimate directly inside NetSuite.

What makes Smartes different is its Direct Outlook Integration. Instead of forwarding order emails and hoping they were processed, users see the live OCR status of each email right inside Outlook. This gives teams complete confidence that every order was received, read, and successfully created in NetSuite — even when processing hundreds of emails per day.

By transforming unstructured PDFs, Word documents, Excel files, and email content into structured NetSuite transactions, Smartes OCR helps your team reduce errors, eliminate repetitive data entry, accelerate fulfillment, and maintain full visibility from inbox to NetSuite record.

How does it Work

The Smartes OCR solution monitors your designated Outlook mailbox and automatically captures incoming orders — whether they appear in the email body or as PDF, Word, or Excel attachments. Documents can also be manually uploaded or routed into the system from additional channels, ensuring every order enters the pipeline no matter how it arrives.

Once received, the solution classifies the document, analyzes the content, and extracts all key customer and line-level details using a rich ruleset that supports advanced data transformations. The extracted data is then cleaned, normalized, and mapped to the correct customer, items, and transaction type inside NetSuite.

If any values cannot be confidently matched, the system flags the order for quick user review, offering placeholder fields and machine-learning suggestions that help prevent repeat errors. After validation, Smartes OCR automatically creates the appropriate Sales Order, Purchase Order, or Estimate in NetSuite and stores the processed documents in customer-specific folders for easy organization and audit visibility.

The final step applies any post-process business logic and updates the original Outlook email with the current OCR status — giving users full confidence that every order was received, processed, and successfully created in NetSuite.
