Project Detail

Echem partnered with us to build the Email Processing System (EPS), an intelligent platform to automate the intake, classification, and data extraction from high volumes of quotation-related emails in the chemical trading space. The system fetches emails from multiple mailboxes, classifies them using machine learning models, and extracts key data like CAS numbers, chemical names, and quantities, even from complex tables within emails. EPS integrates fine-tuned large language models (LLMs) for advanced unstructured data extraction while providing a user verification interface to review and correct data before pushing it to Echem’s internal request modules. This reduces manual workload, speeds up quotation processing, and ensures accurate, consistent data for procurement and follow-ups. The scalable architecture allows Echem to extend automation to invoices, order confirmations, and payment tracking, future-proofing their operations while maintaining data integrity across ERP and CRM systems.

Client Overview

Echem is a domain expert in chemical trading and sourcing, managing a high volume of client and vendor interactions primarily through email.

To scale operations and reduce manual processing, Echem initiated the EPS project to automate the intake, classification, extraction, and management of quotation-related emails, ensuring faster and more accurate responses.
