Workist is a Berlin-based startup that sells an AI agent for the sales back office. The Workist Agent reads orders that arrive as emails or PDFs, plus spreadsheets, Word files and scans, extracts the line items, validates them against the customer’s master data and writes structured sales orders into the ERP. A second module prepares price and availability answers for requests for quotation, and a third digitises tender and service lists. It connects through EDI or a Workist API, with standard connectors for SAP R/3 and S/4, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Sage 100 and 200 and weclapp, an Outlook add-in, and case studies on NetSuite. The company says it needs no template training per supplier and no custom code in the ERP core.
The results quoted are the vendor’s own. The site cites 90% fewer errors, 10 times faster processing and more than 15 million processed documents, describes its output as 100% accurate, and gives case studies: Primavera reports over 80% time savings on Sage 100, Microbiologics 80% in three months on NetSuite, and EVG 96%. It says 200+ industry leaders trust it on most pages and 150+ market leaders in the customer section, so the customer count is inconsistent, and an absolute accuracy claim for document extraction should be tested on your own order mix. On data, the site says hosting is in the EU, that it is SOC 2 Type II audited and GDPR-compliant with a data processing agreement at no extra cost, and that customer data is not used to train external AI models at OpenAI or any other provider. It cites a 4.8-star rating on OMR Reviews, and the magazine Wirtschaftswoche named it Startup of the Week in November 2023.
