What documents does Match compare?
Match compares Purchase Orders (POs) against Order Acknowledgements (OAs) from vendors. These are the two primary documents exchanged between dealers and manufacturers when an order is placed and confirmed.
What file formats does Match support?
Match accepts PDFs and image files including PNG, JPG, and JPEG. Because Match supports images, users can upload screenshots or scans of documents received by email or from vendor portals.
Do documents need to follow a specific format?
No. Match is trained on contract furniture documents from a wide range of manufacturers and can process documents regardless of layout or formatting style.
Can Match process documents sent by email?
Yes. Users print the email to PDF, or take a screenshot, and upload it directly into Match.

What does Match validate?
Match validates totals, line items, quantities, pricing, freight, and shipping details across a Purchase Order and its corresponding Order Acknowledgement. Match also identifies where options such as colors and finishes may be discrepant.
How are discrepancies shown?
Discrepancies are flagged with exact differences, such as price deltas and quantity mismatches, along with a total financial impact calculation across the order.
Does Match handle freight and surcharges?
Yes. Match detects and compares freight, packing, tariff surcharge, fuel surcharge, and labor across both documents.
How accurate is Match?
Match's AI is trained specifically on contract furniture documents and improves as it processes more orders. Users review Match's output before finalizing any dispute or vendor communication.

How does Match fit into the order entry workflow?
After a vendor returns an Order Acknowledgement, users upload both the PO and OA into Match. Match compares the two documents and surfaces discrepancies in seconds, so teams can resolve issues before they become fulfillment problems.
Can Match help resolve issues with vendors?
Yes. Match produces a clear, itemized view of every discrepancy, making vendor error-resolution faster and more transparent.
Does Match integrate with ERP systems?
Yes. Cerulean is building direct API integrations with major ERP systems. Match can also be used as a standalone web-based tool that fits into existing order entry workflows without integration.

Who typically uses Match inside a dealership?
Typically order entry teams, project coordinators, and operations teams responsible for validating vendor acknowledgements.
How much does Match cost?

Is there a cost to adding additional users?
