Introducing AOTM: Automating Intelligence

Interview with Gopal Krishnan (Founder & Chairman)

Where Artificial Intelligence meets Human Intelligence, AOTM redefines how businesses process, analyze, and act on data. By Automating Intelligence, it eliminates bottlenecks, accelerates decision-making, and turns complexity into efficiency.
From Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) to AI-powered Virtual Agents (IVA), AOTM doesn’t just manage workflows, it transforms them. Businesses gain faster operations, reduced costs, and sharper insights with an unmatched ~100% accuracy with Human in the Loop (HITL).

AOTM extracts relevant information from corporate documents with 99.99% accuracy, allowing businesses to digitally manage processes that traditionally required manual input, such as invoices, purchase orders, approvals, and shipping documents, saving significant time. How does AOTM work from a technical perspective? What emerging technologies is it based on?

Traditional document processing relies on template-based data extraction, demanding both technical and human intervention every time a new document type is introduced. This rigid, high-touch approach limits scalability and efficiency, keeping businesses trapped in outdated workflows. AOTM eliminates these barriers with near-zero touch automation. Powered by Cognitive Intelligence, Machine Learning, NLP, and Computer Vision, it doesn’t just extract data—it understands document layouts, recognizes key-value relationships, and deciphers even unstructured or handwritten content. AOTM’s advanced architecture enables seamless adaptation to diverse document formats without constant human intervention.

Seamlessly integrating with ERP systems like Datatex NOW, AOTM keeps inventory, procurement, and compliance in perfect sync, eliminating data silos. Purchase orders, invoices, and shipping documents are processed in real time with near 100% accuracy with HITL—reducing manual intervention by 90% and cutting processing time from 4 weeks to just 4 hours. AOTM delivers results that are future proofed for scalability. And we’re only getting started. AOTM IVA (Intelligent Virtual Agents) to be launched in Q3 2025, will take automation even further. These agents will manage vendor communications, resolve purchase order discrepancies, and ensure compliance—transforming operations into an intelligent, self-sustaining ecosystem.

No more bottlenecks. No more inefficiencies. Just faster, smarter, and more reliable execution that keeps businesses moving at the speed of ambition.

How does AOTM concretely assist textile companies in their daily operations, enhancing document processing accuracy and reducing processing times?

The document processing in textile and apparel industry is highly complex and time sensitive. If the information on CRM and SRM platforms are not processed in real-time and with 100% accuracy, it adversely impacts business processes.
Imagine a textile manufacturer drowning in paperwork, purchase orders, invoices, quality reports, and compliance certificates scattered across multiple formats. Traditionally, every document posed a risk of delays, errors, and inefficiencies, creating friction in daily operations. AOTM disrupts this process entirely. It intelligently reads, extracts, validates, and classifies documents with remarkable precision. When integrated with ERP systems like Datatex NOW, it keeps inventory levels, vendor transactions, and order fulfilment updated in real time. Even the most complex export documentation, Bills of Lading, Packing Lists, Customs Declarations, and more, is processed seamlessly, cutting manual intervention by up to 90% and accelerating document handling by 50% to70%.
But the real game-changer? Process time slashed from 4 weeks to just 4 hours, with an accuracy rate of near 100% with HITL through automated extraction and classification.

What are the potential benefits and opportunities created by the partnership between two major international IT players, Ninestars and Datatex – TSG?

The partnership between Ninestars and Datatex – TSG is more than just a collaboration—it’s a force of disruption. Together, we are ready to disrupt legacy software and redefine efficiency in the textile industry. As a GTM powerhouse, this collaboration embeds AOTM’s AI-driven Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) within Datatex NOW ERP, creating a plug-and-play module that ensures effortless system integration roll-up across enterprise ecosystems.

What does this mean?

• Seamless system integration across enterprise ecosystems;
• Real-time synchronization of purchase orders, invoices, and compliance documents;
• No more silos, no more bottlenecks—just frictionless process automation;
• Customized workflow automation providing unmatched agility in handling operations at scale.

But AOTM isn’t just about IDP. It’s a bridge from AI to BI, turning raw data into powerful business intelligence. With near 100% accuracy with HITL and zero-touch workflows, it sets a new benchmark for the textile industry. This is more than automation, it’s future-proofing the industry with scalable, intelligent, and data-driven solutions.

Beyond document management, how will Artificial Intelligence revolutionize work in the textile industry? What new opportunities does it open up for businesses?

AI is creating massive value by streamlining operations, optimizing supply chains, and unlocking new business opportunities. Beyond document management, it eliminates inefficiencies, reduces costs, accelerates production cycles, and deskills teams through intelligent automation. This allows the core team to shift their focus to innovation and value-added services than redundancies, thereby helping the business to accelerate growth.

By integrating real-time vendor management, procurement, and compliance, AOTM cuts manual intervention by 90%. Its predictive insights optimize inventory, enhance logistics, and mitigate risks, ensuring faster response times and greater profitability.

In production, automated defect detection and material optimization improve quality control and sustainability. AOTM also powers data-driven marketplaces and B2B platforms, transforming raw data into business intelligence and new revenue streams.

AI is a critical enabler of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) initiatives, ensuring ethical sourcing, carbon footprint monitoring, and regulatory compliance. By minimizing waste, optimizing resource utilization, and enhancing traceability, AI-powered solutions will drive sustainability, operational excellence, and competitive differentiation.

As AI becomes integral to textile and apparel enterprises, those that embrace intelligent automation and ESG-driven AI solutions will lead the industry—achieving faster decision-making, cost efficiency, and scalable, sustainable growth in a digital-first global market. Businesses aren’t just keeping up, they’re leaping ahead.
