01
Every customer uses the brand they know
One orders by SKF number, the next by FAG, INA, NSK or NTN. Someone on your office team has to know the cross-reference by heart.
For bearings & drive technology
Order processing for
bearings & drive technology.
Cross-references between brands, size designations and obsolete numbers — Ordermind reads them from email, PDF and Excel, matches them to your items and prepares the order for approval.
The order chaos
Sound familiar?
This is the work that now lives in the heads and inboxes of your office team. Every single day.
6205-2RSsize designations correctly recognised and matched
02
Size designations look alike
A 6205-2RS is not a 6205-ZZ. One suffix of difference means a different bearing. Keying it in by hand is error-prone.
03
Obsolete and superseded numbers
Customers order by numbers that were superseded years ago. You have to know what the current successor is.
04
Knowledge lives in a few heads
The cross-references and exceptions live with your most experienced people. One retirement and that knowledge walks out the door.
Format-proof

FAQ
Questions from the industry.
Does Ordermind recognise cross-references between bearing brands?
Ordermind matches the ordered number — regardless of the brand the customer orders by — to your item. Anything that doesn’t match with certainty goes to your specialist with a low confidence.
Does Ordermind deal well with size designations like 6205-2RS?
Yes. Ordermind reads the full designation including suffixes. Borderline cases (for example 2RS vs. ZZ) are flagged rather than guessed.
What does Ordermind do with obsolete item numbers?
Ordermind can link obsolete numbers to the current successor based on your ERP master data, and flags the change so your team sees it.
Which ERP does Ordermind work with?
We connect with SAP, Exact, Microsoft Dynamics, AFAS and Odoo, among others. Check the integration page for your system for the details.
