How AI dramatically boosts efficiency of B2B order processing

How AI dramatically boosts efficiency of B2B order processing

With an aging, shrinking workforce, it’s become harder and harder for B2B organizations to staff their sales teams, even while customers demand faster fulfillment times and access to their suppliers across multiple channels. Teams mired in manual back-end tasks for sales and order processing are significantly handicapped versus competitors who have automated these functions. The issue is easy to grasp. When processes are not fully automated, orders received via email, Excel or PDF must be…

LLM benchmarking: How to find the right AI model

LLM benchmarking: How to find the right AI model

In addition, many benchmarks quickly become outdated. The rapid development in AI technology means that models are becoming more and more powerful and can easily handle tests that were once challenging. Benchmarks that were previously considered the standard thus quickly lose their relevance. This requires the continuous development of new and more demanding tests to meaningfully evaluate the current capabilities of modern models. Another aspect is the limited generalizability of benchmarks. They usually measure isolated…
