Automated Supply Chain Purchase Order Web Automation Fleet
Developed a headless Playwright bot cluster that logs into 12 distinct supplier portals, checks inventory, submits purchase orders, and extracts tracking numbers into PostgreSQL.
Legacy Bottlenecks & Technical Constraints
The distributor had to manually enter purchase orders across 12 different vendor websites every morning. None of the legacy suppliers provided REST APIs or EDI feeds.
Architectural Design & Implementation
Soft Clerk built a containerized Playwright automation cluster on a lightweight Linux VPS running on scheduled crontab schedules.
Core Technologies Deployed
Production technologies selected for high performance, zero technical debt, and enterprise scale.
Quantifiable Business & Engineering Outcomes
Eliminated repetitive manual ordering tasks across all 12 supplier portals.
Zero incorrect part numbers or typo errors since automated bot deployment.
Each order placed in under 45 seconds from customer checkout trigger.
“We thought we were stuck with manual data entry because our suppliers don't have APIs. Soft Clerk proved us wrong with a bot that runs flawlessly every morning without fail.”
