Turbocharge Your Team with AI-Powered Workflows

Let AI do the tedious work so your people can do the valuable work

Streamline Quotes and Orders

Canals takes customer emails in any format (plain text, PDF, excel, even handwritten notes) and preprocesses them into quotes or orders for your sales reps to approve and pass into your ERP. The best part? As your sales reps use it, it gets smarter about your customers, your products, and your business.

No templates or customer-specific setup required.

Process Invoices Automatically

Canals examines invoices for validity according to your records and business rules, handling both trade (PO) and expense invoices. Invoices meeting your requirements are automatically processed into payables in your ERP, along with a copy of the invoice.

No templates or customer-specific setup required.

"Gamechanger" was the response I received from multiple associates when we launched. Implementation was quick and painless, and benefits were recognized immediately. The team at Canals has been wonderful to work with and responsive.

Canals turns one sales rep into many for us. As early adopters of artificial intelligence, we've seen our quoting get faster and smarter than ever, and it's definitely boosting sales. The technology is also a training and retention tool. I've had one of our guys say to me "I wouldn't work anywhere without this."

Canals is fantastic. It was very fast to get up and running, both technically and in terms of usage. Our team has all kinds of different backgrounds and technical abilities, and they were able to pick it up easily. We had evaluated some other options, and Canals was the most intuitive. The Canals team has been extremely responsive and willing to accommodate our requests.

Revere’s experience implementing the Canals Order Entry solution has been extraordinary. We're used to software vendors over-promising and under-delivering. With Canals, it worked much better than expected. The few issues we had were addressed immediately. Adoption by our users has also amazed us. We hope you continue to amaze us with your dedication to being the most responsive vendor we’ve ever worked with.

"Our order entry process used to be very inefficient. Since implementing Canals, it's like night and day! Canals captures order details with incredible speed and accuracy. We've seen a dramatic reduction in processing times, freeing up our team to focus on strategic tasks. Canals' training and customer service have also been top notch. Overall Canals has improved our efficiency immensely, I highly recommend it for any business looking to streamline order entry and boost productivity."

Enter the AI Era

AI is not a fad — it’s transformative. Put it to work for your business.

Transform Workflows

Eliminate manual data entry and other tedious tasks so that your team can complete in minutes work that used to take hours.

Create a Winning Experience

Show your customers, suppliers, and team that you’re in business for the future, with operations that are faster and more accurate than ever before.

Stay Ahead of the Curve

Leverage machine learning to capture and apply the institutional knowledge of your best talent — before they retire.

Impact in Days

Who says integrations take months?

Day 1: Sync

Complete a brief onboarding questionnaire to configure Canals for your business, and connect your ERP. The integration takes only about an hour or two of your IT team’s time on average.

Week 1: Launch

After integrating, you go live. We host trainings, but Canals is so intuitive that many start using it as soon as they get their signup invitation, before training. Users typically see the impact of the machine learning within a day or two!

Weeks 2+: Scale

The more your team uses Canals, the smarter it gets about your business. After just a few weeks, work that used to take hours will be done in minutes, and your team will be feeling turbocharged.

Canals is proudly SOC 2 Type 2 compliant, meaning we’ve undergone rigorous, independent audits to verify that our internal controls and processes consistently protect your data.
