Mandraulic 

A portmanteau of manual + hydraulic, which, despite the etymology, is a hybrid process where despite automation in all other parts one vital link is filled by a human action rather than machine.

Dave is the mandraulic piece of the process as he has to load the batch coming out of the enterprise resource planning system onto the payment platform.
