Industries · Manufacturing
Manufacturing operations, coordinated.
Requisitions, purchase orders, supplier coordination, three-way invoice match, and operational reporting across plants.
One purchase order touches five systems and four people before the invoice clears.
SAP, NetSuite, or Dynamics for the ERP. Supplier portals and EDI for procurement traffic. Email for the decisions, spreadsheets for costing and schedules. The tools are fine. The coordination between them is where the plant leaks.
The operating model
Every record enters once. The layer does the walking.
Today each of these systems is wired to the others by a person: re-keying, forwarding, chasing. Navon sits underneath as one coordination layer. A requisition, a PO confirmation, or a supplier invoice enters once, routes itself, and lands in the system that owns it, with the hand-offs logged.
Your systems stay. The re-keying goes.
How the money moves
The order lifecycle.
Plant request to paid invoice. Five stages that today sit in five systems, owned by five people, updated by hand.
With Navon, one record carries the order end to end. This is where we start.
Advisory-led
What an engagement deploys in manufacturing.
An operational audit comes first. From the findings, we deploy a scoped mix built for how the plant runs: routed intake, automations, and managed AI agents, each working inside an approval path.
- Intake from email, paper form, or shop floor; buyers key nothing twice
- A scoped mix of automations, routed intake, and managed agents, each with a named owner
- SAP, NetSuite, and Dynamics stay the systems of record
Advisory engagements are live across manufacturing operations today. The platform extends here by design.
Six workflows we automate first.
Identified by the teams running the work today. Each one replaces something a person is doing manually. We build them as discrete engagements, in priority order. Pick one to see it as it runs.
Requisition intake
Plant requisitions raised by email, paper form, or shop floor. Navon classifies the category, validates against the budget, and opens the PO record in the ERP with the right cost center.
ReplacesBuyers keying requisitions by hand
Advisory leads. Automations do the work. The platform hosts it.
For manufacturing specifically, here is what each practice line looks like.
We start in the requisition queue.
Time with buyers, plant managers, AP, and the COO. Walk-throughs of the requisition-to-pay cycle, supplier exception handling, and how cross-plant reporting actually gets built. Written findings, phased plan, operator sign-off before anything gets built.
Intake, match, escalate.
Requisition intake. Supplier confirmation pulled from email and portals. Receiving discrepancy flagging. Three-way invoice match. Approval routing for spend thresholds. Each one scoped discretely, sequenced by what unblocks the most production time first. Where the work justifies it, managed agents carry a flow end to end, always inside an approval path with a named owner.
The layer it grows into.
As the automations compound, the platform consolidates them into one governed layer: requisitions, POs, receiving records, invoices, and approvals in one place with structured ownership, and Nova, the operations assistant, working inside it. It is live in construction operations today and architected to extend here. Runs in your cloud, your VPC, or fully local. Your existing systems stay.

Manufacturing-specific questions.
The operational questions manufacturing buyers ask before the first call.
How does this work with our ERP?
Does this touch shop floor or MES data?
We have multiple plants. Does the platform handle that?
What about EDI traffic with our suppliers?
