Do we need to reorder the bearings?

Yes. After today's count we're at 140 against a minimum of 150. A purchase suggestion for 200 is waiting for the buyer.

The biggest win

Variances explained the day they're counted

A variance found a week later can't be traced. Your agent posts counts and explains differences the same day.

Todaythe usual way
  • Count sheets wait on a desk
  • Posted to the ERP Next week
  • Deal lost. The stockout was found when a customer order couldn't ship.

Inventory is messy

  • Phantom stock. On the screen, not the shelf
  • Stockouts. Orders that can't ship
  • Unexplained variances. Written off, not traced
  • Paper counts. Keyed days later

    Zone B is posted. B-14 was a receipt not yet put away, so no adjustment. Please recount B-31 hose clamp kits: the ERP says 12 and nothing explains the gap.

Your process

Built around how you work

Not a template. Your steps, your rules, your approvals.

  1. 01

    Explain it once

    Talk or type, like training a new hire. Hand over your SOP, price book and a few past quotes.

    When a request comes in, first check: within tolerance? If not, trace variance.

    Watch it work

    It works a real job on your screen. You correct it the way you'd correct a person.

    Use the 2026 price book, not last year's.

FAQ

Questions owners ask us

Do we have to buy new software or connect anything?

No. The agent works in the software you already use, with the same screens, keyboard and mouse your team uses, under logins you give it. Nothing to replace and nothing to integrate.

How is the agent built?

You explain the job the way you'd train a new hire: talk or type, and hand over your SOP and a few real examples. Then it does a real one live while you watch and correct it. Your process is saved as a flowchart and a written procedure, and every run follows the version you approved.

Will it write off inventory?

No. It explains what it can, asks for recounts on the rest, and drafts adjustments with reason codes. A person approves before anything posts.

Can we change the process later?

Any time. Add a step, change a rule, move an approval or drop one. Tell the agent what changed, review the new flowchart and save it as a new version.

Where does it run, and is it safe?

On your computers, in your signed-in sessions. Logins are kept in a vault and never shown to the AI. Every run is recorded with screenshots, values read and approvals given.
