The Challenge
Fragmented coordination, invisible operations
Orders arrived through informal channels (WhatsApp, email, phone), with no standard intake format, acknowledgement, or unified visibility—leading to missed orders on high-volume days.
"Orders came in on WhatsApp. Quotes went back on email. SAP had whatever someone remembered to enter."
What was breaking
- Multi-channel informal order intake
- Manual extraction and re-entry errors
- Inconsistent pricing, promotions, and FoC
- Slow, disconnected quoting
- No mandatory Finance gate

How HublerX Solved It
The operational workflow
HublerX captures RFQs and POs from WhatsApp, email, PDFs, spreadsheets, and voice-relayed orders into a single structured workflow — with automatic routing to the correct sales executive via predefined hierarchy mappings, so no order is missed regardless of how it arrives.
Unified multi-channel intake
Unified multi-channel intakeHublerX's AI agent reads every incoming message, attachment, and document and automatically extracts structured order data — SKU, quantity, customer identity, and pricing reference — eliminating manual interpretation and re-entry errors at the source.
AI-powered order extraction
AI-powered order extractionEvery extracted order is validated in real time against the Customer Price List, SKU Database, and SKU-Wise Promotion Master — applying the correct account-specific pricing and any active promotions or Free-of-Cost entitlements automatically, before the sales executive reviews the order.
Automatic pricing, promotion, and FoC application
Automatic pricing, promotion, and FoC applicationOnce the sales executive confirms the validated order, HublerX auto-generates a formatted quote in under 2 minutes — fully priced, promotion-applied, and linked to the originating RFQ — replacing the 30–60 minute manual build process entirely.
Automated quote generation in seconds
Automated quote generation in secondsEvery quote and sales order is routed to Finance for mandatory review inside HublerX before it reaches the customer or SAP — with full visibility of SKU, pricing, discounts, and promotional lines — so no commercially exposed order can bypass Finance sign-off.
Mandatory Finance approval gate
Mandatory Finance approval gateEvery action from customer RFQ to SAP posting is logged with a timestamp and actor record inside HublerX, giving leadership a live view of every order across every stage — intake, SE review, Finance approval, SAP posting — with no manual report runs required.
Real-time order dashboard and audit trail
Real-time order dashboard and audit trailThe Differentiation
Orchestrating Actions,
Not Replacing Systems.
HublerX was deployed as a connected order execution layer sitting above SAP, with SAP remaining the system of record. HublerX structures and validates incoming orders from every channel, enforces a mandatory Finance approval gate, and automatically posts approved sales orders to SAP via API—creating one continuous, auditable workflow from first message to ERP posting and customer confirmation.

- account_treeHandles operational workflows, not just data storage. Approvals, escalations, execution.
- memoryHublerX’s AI agent converts unstructured orders from WhatsApp, email, PDFs, spreadsheets, and relayed voice-based requests into structured order lines (SKU, quantity, customer, delivery date) while preserving the original source message for review and traceability.
Quote-to-SAP workflow with mandatory Finance gate
HublerX connects order intake, validation, quoting, approval, and SAP posting into one traceable record per order. Quotes are generated from validated order data, routed for Finance sign-off, then posted to SAP automatically via API—eliminating manual re-entry and quote-to-ERP discrepancies.

The order came in on WhatsApp. The quote went back as a PDF. SAP had whatever someone remembered to enter. Now every step is connected — from the message the customer sends to the sales order in the ERP.
