The short version
DynamoDocs automates Macola document entry for food and beverage producers. For food and beverage producers, ingredient and packaging invoices plus high-volume grocery and foodservice POs demand fast, accurate entry under thin margins. DynamoDocs captures each document, AI reads and classifies it, codes it to product line and lot or date code, validates it, and posts approved records into Macola through an on-premises connector or a mapped file import into Macola, so traceability holds and thin-margin orders are entered fast and accurately. Macola (ECi) is a long-standing manufacturing and distribution ERP where a local connector or a file import is the practical path to automating data entry.

A worked example
Macola for food and beverage producers, from inbox to posted record
Imagine a food and beverage producer running Macola that receives an ingredient invoice from a co-packer, it has to carry lot and date-code references for traceability. 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 product line and lot or date code 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 Macola as an AP invoice through an on-premises connector or a mapped file import into Macola. Works through an on-premises connector or a mapped file import that Macola picks up. Your food & beverage team reviews the occasional exception instead of retyping the whole document, so traceability holds and thin-margin orders are entered fast and accurately.

For food and beverage producers, ingredient and packaging invoices plus high-volume grocery and foodservice POs demand fast, accurate entry under thin margins.

Clean documents post automatically; only exceptions reach a person, so traceability holds and thin-margin orders are entered fast and accurately.
How does a ingredient or packaging supplier invoice post into Macola?

Yes, that is the point. Each document is coded to the right product line and lot or date code from your rules and vendor or customer history, so records arrive in Macola already coded instead of waiting on a clerk.
