Hey! We’re Sam and Taira, the co-founders of Smartbase.

The Problem

Today, incoming purchase orders are still entered into the ERP by hand.

This process often requires multiple full-time employees, especially for manufacturers doing custom or high-mix work.

Orders arrive in every format imaginable: paper, email, fax, and sometimes even handwritten.

The Solution

Here’s how Smartbase automates order entry:

1. Import POs: Upload scanned orders to Smartbase, or connect Smartbase to your inbox for emailed orders.
2. Automatic data extraction: Our AI turns even the messiest POs into ERP-ready data using your custom business rules (e.g. customer-specific pricing).
3. Review and approve: Review orders in our dashboard, then click approve. They'll appear in your ERP.
4. Automatically print travelers: Optionally, Smartbase can automatically print the travelers from your ERP.

Our Team

We’ve worked on factory floors, sat side-by-side with employees to learn their workflows, and even slept at a factory.

Sam (CEO) previously founded a DevOps platform that raised $2M. Taira (CTO) was the youngest SDE 2 at AWS SageMaker Inference, where he built AI infrastructure for enterprises such as Salesforce.
