Supply Chain Operations Agent
We built a local purchasing agent for Outlook and Excel, plus a voice-first supply chain environment. A manager can ask a spoken question, follow the impact from supplier to customer and review recovery options before approving anything.
Business problem + workflow
Requests entered through a shared inbox while disruption context lived across supplier, material, production and customer records. The team needed agents that could assemble the picture quickly while preserving the tools, rules and approval steps already in use.

- Supplier-to-customer impact tracing
- Approval-ready recovery and escalation packets
What the business can measure
Time to trace an exposure, request-assignment time, overdue work, recovery options reviewed and manual rework.
