NNR GLOBAL LOGISTICS ’
Our accounting team said , ' we need our customers to be able to pay via credit card ', so we reached out to different vendors and put together a smooth , user-friendly , frictionless customer-experience , where our customers can easily go and pay their invoices . We ' re releasing some pretty exciting stuff that relates to the partnership we have with vector AI , in terms of seriously starting to eliminate any redundant manual entry upstream and have many upcoming releases in the pipeline .”
NNR partner ecosystem This partnership with Vector AI has been an important one for NNR . Workflow automation and OCR technology has been used by big banks and big insurance companies for about two decades . But you had to have millions of remarkably similar documents that were being processed to be able to extract those different data elements to utilise , and so the cost was prohibitively high .
Sullivan says : “ Even when I started looking at this just five years ago , you still couldn ' t get a solid pilot with any OCR company without a significant initial investment . Vector AI came along with next gen AI-driven automation , led by logisticians , and co-led by technologists – it was the right company at the right time . What we ' ve been working on with them is outside of their traditional service offering , as it ' s about going upstream and looking at what documents our customers can provide there , so that we can extract the data from those documents , pre-populate what we need in order to process the shipments , and then recanalise that information to flow downstream . So , we ' re aggressively partnering with Vector AI to go way upstream and extract the more difficult information from many different customers in many different formats . “ With NNR Connect , we ' re about to rollout our product called Quick Book , which has
automation powered by Vector AI . They ' re also working with our accounting team on the more traditional avenue of getting better invoices via email , extracting the information , and then helping to facilitate that automation of accounts payable .”
Another key partner for NNR is Snyder Technology . “ Snyder has been with me since day one in this role ,” says Sullivan . “ Ben Snyder , the CEO , is somebody that I was introduced to by a friend of mine , also in the logistics and technology space . They have helped us move 100 % to the cloud , as well as to rapidly accelerate our adoption onto Microsoft ' s 365 platform . They are developing NNR Connect – the customer facing portal – alongside us , as well as doing everything from data recovery
