AI Agents
Specialized autonomous agents working in coordination
Data Collector Agent
Procurement decisions require accurate, real-time data from multiple sources (ERP, WMS, external feeds) but data is often siloed, stale, or inconsistent.
Core Logic
Connects to ERP systems for inventory and transaction data, syncs with warehouse management systems for stock levels across locations, fetches external market data feeds, validates data integrity with quality scoring, and flags anomalies for manual review. Produces unified data snapshots for downstream agents.
Demand Forecaster Agent
Predicting future demand is complex due to seasonality, trends, promotions, and market volatilityβleading to stockouts or overstock situations.
Core Logic
Loads 24+ months of historical sales data. Applies time-series models (ARIMA, STL decomposition) to detect seasonality patterns. Incorporates market trend adjustments. Generates SKU-level forecasts with confidence intervals and MAPE accuracy metrics. Outputs demand projections for 7, 14, 30, 60, and 90-day horizons.
Inventory Optimizer Agent
Maintaining optimal inventory levels requires balancing service levels against working capitalβtoo much inventory ties up cash, too little causes stockouts.
Core Logic
Performs ABC-XYZ classification to prioritize high-value, high-velocity items. Calculates Economic Order Quantities (EOQ) considering holding costs and ordering costs. Optimizes safety stock levels based on demand variability and service level targets. Generates reorder points and recommended stock adjustments. Identifies working capital release opportunities.
Supplier Analyst Agent
Supplier selection impacts cost, quality, and delivery reliability, but evaluating vendor performance across multiple dimensions is time-consuming and subjective.
Core Logic
Loads supplier performance data (delivery rates, quality scores, pricing history). Benchmarks pricing against market rates. Calculates composite supplier scores across reliability, lead time, price competitiveness, and financial stability. Identifies concentration risks and recommends diversification strategies. Flags high-risk vendors for review.
Order Generator Agent
Creating optimal purchase orders requires balancing replenishment urgency, volume discounts, cash flow constraints, and promotion timingβtypically done manually with suboptimal results.
Core Logic
Identifies SKUs requiring replenishment based on reorder points and forecasted demand. Consolidates orders by supplier for volume discount optimization. Applies active promotions and special pricing agreements. Balances order timing against cash flow constraints. Generates purchase orders with AI rationale, confidence scores, savings breakdowns, and approval workflows.
Risk Assessor Agent
Supply chain disruptions can cause significant business impact, but risk identification is reactive rather than proactive.
Core Logic
Scans for stockout risks within configurable time horizons. Evaluates supplier stability across financial health, delivery performance, and capacity factors. Monitors market price volatility. Calculates aggregate risk scores with category breakdowns. Generates mitigation plans with prioritized recommendations and ownership assignments.
Market Intelligence Agent
Procurement decisions made without market context miss opportunities from price fluctuations, supply chain disruptions, and competitor actions.
Core Logic
Fetches real-time commodity prices (DRAM, NAND, semiconductors). Monitors supply chain disruption alerts (port congestion, factory shutdowns, geopolitical events). Tracks competitor pricing and availability. Identifies market trends affecting product categories. Provides market sentiment analysis and actionable recommendations.
Sustainability Agent
Organizations face increasing pressure to meet ESG targets and regulatory requirements (CSRD, SEC Climate Disclosure) but lack visibility into procurement sustainability impact.
Core Logic
Calculates carbon footprint across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions for procurement operations. Evaluates supplier ESG scores using frameworks like SASB. Monitors regulatory compliance status across jurisdictions. Identifies sustainable alternatives and shipping consolidation opportunities. Generates sustainability recommendations with CO2e reduction projections.
