AI Agents
Specialized autonomous agents working in coordination
Master Orchestrator Agent
Complex supply chain scenarios require coordinated response across multiple specialized functions with proper sequencing, dependency management, and exception handling.
Core Logic
Provides central coordination and workflow management for all scenario responses. Manages agent delegation, priority management, exception handling, and ensures proper execution sequence. Maintains overall scenario state and coordinates handoffs between agents throughout the resolution lifecycle.
Data Analyst Agent
Supply chain decisions require aggregated data from multiple sources that must be collected, validated, and preprocessed before analysis can begin.
Core Logic
Performs data aggregation from multiple enterprise systems, pattern recognition to identify relevant signals, anomaly detection for data quality, and data validation. Preprocesses raw data into structured formats that other agents can consume for their specialized analyses.
Risk Assessor Agent
Supply chain risks must be systematically evaluated and scored to prioritize response actions and allocate resources effectively.
Core Logic
Evaluates risk through scoring algorithms, impact analysis across business dimensions, probability estimation using historical data, and mitigation planning. Produces risk assessments that quantify potential impact and recommend prioritized mitigation strategies.
Supplier Scout Agent
When primary suppliers face disruptions, alternative suppliers must be quickly identified, qualified, and compared to maintain supply continuity.
Core Logic
Searches for and evaluates alternative suppliers through qualification assessment, price comparison, lead time analysis, and capability matching. Maintains a database of pre-qualified backup suppliers and rapidly assesses their ability to fulfill requirements during disruptions.
Demand Forecaster Agent
Accurate demand forecasting is critical for supply planning, but requires sophisticated time-series analysis that accounts for seasonality, trends, and external factors.
Core Logic
Performs time series analysis using ML models, detects seasonal patterns and trend shifts, predicts demand with confidence intervals, and calculates safety stock requirements. Provides demand forecasts that inform inventory and sourcing decisions with accuracy metrics.
Decision Maker Agent
Supply chain decisions involve multiple criteria, trade-offs, and stakeholder interests that must be systematically evaluated to select optimal strategies.
Core Logic
Performs multi-criteria analysis weighing cost, risk, service level, and strategic factors. Ranks strategies by expected value, evaluates trade-offs transparently, and produces decision recommendations with full reasoning traces for approval workflows.
Execution Agent
Approved decisions must be translated into system transactions across ERP, supplier systems, and logistics platforms with proper error handling and status tracking.
Core Logic
Executes approved actions through order creation in ERP systems, workflow execution across integrated platforms, status tracking with milestone updates, and error recovery with automatic retry logic. Implements saga pattern for distributed transactions with compensation mechanisms.
Communication Agent
Stakeholders across the organization and supply chain need timely, context-appropriate notifications about disruptions, decisions, and resolution status.
Core Logic
Handles all stakeholder communications through message drafting tailored to audience, channel selection based on urgency and preference, sentiment analysis of incoming communications, and response tracking. Ensures appropriate escalation and keeps all parties informed throughout resolution.
Market Intelligence Agent
Supply chain decisions must account for external market factors including commodity prices, competitor actions, economic indicators, and industry news.
Core Logic
Provides real-time market monitoring covering commodity price tracking, competitor analysis, geopolitical risk assessment, and supply chain news aggregation. Correlates external events with internal supply chain impact and alerts on relevant market developments.
Predictive Analytics Agent
Reactive supply chain management is too slow. Organizations need to predict disruptions, demand spikes, and quality issues before they impact operations.
Core Logic
Uses AI-powered forecasting to predict disruptions, demand spikes, price trends, quality issues, and anomalies before they occur. Applies machine learning models trained on historical patterns to identify early warning signals and recommend preemptive actions.
Autonomous Negotiation Agent
Supplier negotiations are time-consuming and require expertise. Emergency situations demand rapid negotiation that human teams cannot always provide.
Core Logic
Conducts automated supplier negotiations using BATNA analysis, sentiment-aware communication strategies, and multi-round negotiation protocols. Optimizes contract terms, negotiates pricing within approved parameters, and escalates to human approvers when thresholds are exceeded.
Compliance Monitoring Agent
Supply chain operations must comply with evolving regulations, certifications, and internal policies that are difficult to track across all transactions and suppliers.
Core Logic
Monitors regulatory compliance including certification tracking, audit preparation, policy compliance verification, and risk area identification. Maintains compliance status across all suppliers and transactions, alerts on expiring certifications, and ensures decisions meet regulatory requirements.
