Intelligent Business Partner Creation in SAP Business ByDesign
Sales and Marketing professionals interact with their current and future customers all the time. As part of work they have to exchange contact details and doing it via business cards is still a common practice in a business setting. It is important for them to quickly capture the information on the business cards and digitally store them into their ERP applications to use later. Currently, transferring the business card information into a business document like a Lead or a Business Partner involves manual data entry.
With the 2202 release of SAP Business ByDesign, it is now possible for the users to create Business Partners intelligently by scanning a business card, extracting information out of it, and creating a business partner as a follow-up, automatically via SAP Business ByDesign Mobile app (iOS | Android).
The extraction of data and the proposal of extracted data to SAP Business ByDesign’s business partner fields is done using the Document Information Extraction from SAP AI Business Services.
Benefits
Sales Representatives and Marketing professionals can now
- Scan and digitally store Business Cards of customers they meet; in the office or out in the field
- Automatically create Business Partner of type Private Account or Contact without having to manually type in the contact details
- All this, made available in the user’s pocket supercomputer – the smartphone
