Introduction

Retail and ecommerce move fast. Supplier invoices keep piling up, inventory shifts every hour, and even a minor delay in reconciliation can mean lost sales or vendor disputes. Yet inside Salesforce, many teams still treat invoices and stock updates as static files—uploaded, stored, and forgotten. The result? Slower approvals, mismatched counts, and a painful audit trail when finance comes knocking.

That’s where Media Manager with FileMate, built on Agentforce, comes in. Media Manager organizes and connects files directly in Salesforce, while FileMate transforms them into structured data, summaries, and answers—keeping supplier billing and inventory sync reliable, fast, and audit-ready.

Supplier Invoice and Inventory Sync Challenges

  • Unstructured invoice uploads: Supplier files arrive in different formats and channels, often attached inconsistently or lost across Salesforce records.
  • Slow approvals: Finance teams manually open and review each file, delaying payments and vendor communication.
  • Manual data extraction Key details like vendor, PO, and totals stay locked inside PDFs and images, forcing manual entry.
  • Lack of document-level insights: When users can’t query files directly, even small clarifications—like “Which PO does this belong to?” or “Is tax already included?”—turn into long back-and-forths between finance, warehouse, and suppliers.

Supplier invoices come in all forms—PDFs by email, scanned JPEGs from the warehouse, or files buried in shared folders. Someone has to download, rename, and attach them, hoping they end up in the right record. Multiply that by hundreds of invoices, and AP teams spend hours just shuffling documents.

How Media Manager + FileMate Bridge the Gap

Think of Media Manager as the backbone of file management in Salesforce. Instead of leaving invoices scattered across inboxes or shared folders, Media Manager centralizes everything including supplier invoices, delivery receipts, or compliance certificates right inside Salesforce records.  

  • Centralized file hub. Upload, preview, and act on supplier invoices, shipping docs, or compliance certificates without leaving the Salesforce record.
  • Smart organization. Group invoices by supplier, PO, or region, and ensure every file lives with the right record for clean traceability.
  • Preview in context. PDFs, images, and receipts open instantly in Salesforce—no downloads, no switching apps.
  • Built-in actions. From related list actions, finance and operations teams can rename, tag, and trigger flows straight from the file.

FileMate: the intelligence layer (with Agentforce)

Delivered through Media Manager row actions and Salesforce Flow, FileMate applies AI directly on supplier docs and inventory files:

  • Summarize lengthy documents. Quickly digest multi-page invoices or agreements with bullet-point briefs.
  • Extract invoice details. Vendor, PO number, SKUs, quantities, unit prices, totals—automatically captured into Salesforce fields for validation.
  • Ask and answer. “What’s the tax charged?” “Which SKUs differ from the PO?” FileMate responds directly from the file content.
  • Translate without losing format. Multilingual invoices or pack lists become instantly readable while preserving their layout.
  • Handle common formats. PDFs, JPEGs, and PNGs run seamlessly—exactly the formats retailers and suppliers exchange daily.
Ask your files anything

It aligns with Salesforce’s Order Management, Omnichannel Inventory, and Flow-first automation—without forcing teams outside the platform.
