Automail use cases

Automate the supply chain work your core systems leave behind.

Automail modules combine forms, workflows, integrations, and business rules around a specific operational need. Start with one recurring manual process, then extend and connect modules as requirements grow.

Same platform. Different processes. Configured around your business.
Module templates

A proven starting point for each use case

Each use case builds on an existing Automail module template, with baseline forms, workflows, and business rules already available. We then configure the module to match your specific business requirements.

Broader platform deployments

Replace legacy systems or bring data together.

When extending existing software is not enough, Automail can recreate older applications or serve as a central place to consolidate and analyze enterprise data.

Full ERP and PLM replacements require more extensive planning.

Most of the effort goes into reverse-engineering the legacy system, documenting all requirements and connected processes, and breaking the replacement into Automail modules. Once specifications are agreed, configuring and orchestrating the modules typically takes weeks. Testing, data migration, and cutover are carefully planned before retiring the old system.

Lineverge works with specialist consulting partners where needed to support requirements analysis and larger deployments.
