AI-Powered Purchase Order
Validation Platform for FMCG Distribution

Project Overview

MXTechies developed an AI-powered purchase order validation platform for a leading FMCG manufacturer supplying products to quick-commerce and retail partners such as Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy, and Reliance Retail.

The solution, called QCP (Quick Commerce Processing), automates purchase order ingestion, validation, correction, and ERP integration. Built using the Mendix low-code platform, the system processes large volumes of POs from multiple partners and validates them against master datasets to ensure accuracy before invoicing.

Client Overview

The client is a major FMCG manufacturer distributing consumer goods across multiple retail and quick-commerce partners.

Purchase Orders are generated by partner platforms based on the company's product catalog and material master data. However, frequent changes such as new product launches, packaging changes, SKU updates, and price revisions often create inconsistencies between partner systems and the FMCG company's internal data.

These inconsistencies required manual validation before orders could be processed.

Business Challenge

The company receives daily purchase orders through APIs and email-based PDF documents.

Previously, a manual validation team spent 4–5 hours validating each PO against internal master datasets.

Some line items had to be removed

Some POs were delayed

Some orders were dropped completely

AI-Powered Purchase Order Validation and Automation Platform (QCP)

MXTechies implemented QCP (Quick Commerce Processing), an AI-powered platform that automates the entire purchase order validation workflow.

POs are received via REST APIs or extracted from PDF documents using OCR technology. The system then validates the order against multiple master datasets including material master, stock master, OTR data, and PIPO sequence.

Using AI-based validation logic, incorrect values such as EAN, MRP, case size, or grammage are automatically corrected.

Once validated, the PO is sent back to the customer for approval and then automatically pushed into SAP ERP for invoicing.
