Levi Strauss & Co. uses AI to automate data entry steps in financial and wholesale order operations, including ingesting purchase orders from wholesale partners that were previously processed manually.

Levi's Chief Digital and Technology Officer described how the company used AI to analyze 1,100 standard operating procedures in financial operations, breaking them into 19,000 steps and identifying that 35% were data entry. Levi's is now automating the ingestion of purchase orders submitted by wholesale partners — including orders that still arrive as PDF forms via email — rather than having a human manually input the order details. A human signs off on outputs, per the CDTO's description. This practice was publicly described by Levi's CDTO in November 2025.
