The short version
DynamoDocs automates Epicor Kinetic document entry for distributors. For distributors, bulk customer POs with many SKUs and supplier invoices that must match receipts arrive nonstop and get keyed line by line before anything ships. DynamoDocs captures each document, AI reads and classifies it, codes it to SKU, unit of measure, and warehouse, validates it, and posts approved records into Epicor Kinetic through the Epicor Kinetic REST API, so orders ship on time and supplier bills reconcile against receipts. Epicor Kinetic (formerly Epicor ERP / E10) runs production, inventory, and finance for discrete and make-to-order manufacturers, where order entry and AP keying are a constant drag.

A worked example
Epicor Kinetic for distributors, from inbox to posted record
Imagine a wholesale distributor running Epicor Kinetic that receives a 60-line bulk purchase order from a grocery chain, every line uses the customer's SKU, not yours. DynamoDocs picks it up from the monitored inbox (or a drag-and-drop upload), and AI reads every field and line, no template required. It is coded to SKU, unit of measure, and warehouse from your rules and vendor or customer history, then validated against totals, required fields, and your own checks. Anything that fails is flagged field-by-field for a quick review; everything clean posts straight into Epicor Kinetic as an AP invoice through the Epicor Kinetic REST API. Connects through the Epicor Kinetic REST v2 services, cloud or on-prem, with no custom BPM to maintain. Your distribution & wholesale team reviews the occasional exception instead of retyping the whole document, so orders ship on time and supplier bills reconcile against receipts.
