Nine days of waiting, one plant at a time
Halvern’s buyers exported open orders from the ERP every Monday, pasted them into email, and chased suppliers one thread at a time. By the time confirmations came back, the schedule had already moved. Average PO cycle time: nine days.
Agents on every open order
Lumari connected to Halvern’s ERP in the first week and took over follow-ups, confirmations, and change-order reconciliation. Buyers now approve exceptions from a single queue while everything routine happens automatically — with a full audit trail.
Cycle time fell 83% to 36 hours, and the team recovered $1.2M in early-payment discounts they had been leaving on the table.
