Selling — the order desk

An agent-gated order desk, built around how you sell.

An order desk where the agent reviews every order

The whole desk runs from one screen: live money and workload at the top — open order value, orders awaiting agent review, what's picking now, what shipped but hasn't moved — and a worklist that only surfaces the orders that actually need a human. Every order is reviewed by the AI agent on draft, and again any time it's edited mid-flow, so nothing reaches the floor unchecked.

  • Live KPIs: open $, in review, picking, shipped
  • Agent reviews every order on draft and on edit
  • Worklist shows only orders needing a decision
  • Rebuilds for any catalog — model your order lifecycle, gate it with an agent

It starts as a draft — pricing, margin and history checked first

Every order begins as a draft. Before it can ever become a pick, it goes to the agent, which checks every line for pricing and margin and compares quantities against that customer's purchase history. Orders carry real warehouse structure — SKUs, cases and eaches, line totals, payment terms and PO numbers — so the agent is reasoning over the same units your team sells in, not a simplified copy.

  • Per-line pricing and margin checks
  • Quantities compared to the customer's history
  • Native units of measure — cases and eaches
  • Rebuilds for any SKU catalog with pricing and margin rules

Then AI catches the order that doesn't fit the pattern

Once an order moves toward picking, the agent keeps watching. When a line jumps outside a customer's normal behavior, it stops the order instead of letting it pick. Here a quantity jumped to 220 units — 3.7× this account's 90-day average of 60, with no prior order above 80 — so picking stays paused until someone edits the flagged line or overrides. Every override is logged against the user's name, so the exception is a record, not a guess.

  • Flags quantities against real purchase history
  • Pauses picking until resolved or overridden
  • Every override logged to a named user
  • Rebuilds anywhere — feed customer history, agent flags the outliers

Software that adapts to how your warehouse actually runs — not the other way around.

Buying — procurement & receiving

Then receiving that lands every cost to the unit.

Procurement, tracked from commitment to receipt

The buy side runs from the same kind of desk. Open commitment, what's arriving this week, dollars at risk behind open exceptions, and what's been received in the last 30 days are all live at the top, with every purchase order grouped by where it is — receiving, awaiting, received, or draft. The agent surfaces the handful of exceptions that need a buyer before they turn into cost problems.

  • Live KPIs: on order, arriving, at risk, received
  • POs grouped by stage with a per-order receive action
  • Agent flags the exceptions that need a buyer
  • Rebuilds for any supplier base and ordering cadence

Receiving that reconciles PO, invoice and goods automatically

When stock arrives, the agent runs a three-way match on every line — what was ordered, what was invoiced, and what actually showed up. Clean lines clear themselves; only the exceptions stop for a person. Here it caught a $1.00/unit price increase ($200 over PO) and a short shipment of 5 units, queued a credit request, and held both for buyer approval before they could flow into cost.

  • PO vs invoice vs goods receipt on every line
  • Clean lines auto-clear; exceptions stop for review
  • Catches price variances and short shipments
  • Rebuilds for any receiving dock and supplier invoice

Freight, duty and fees spread across every line

Inbound costs rarely sit on one product. The agent takes the shipment's landed-cost charges — freight, import duty, insurance — and spreads them across the lines by value, quantity, or weight, recommending the most defensible basis for the mix. Each SKU absorbs its real share instead of being guessed at or buried in a single overhead bucket.

  • Rebuilds for any inbound shipment with overhead costs

True landed cost, posted straight to inventory

The flow closes by rolling allocated charges into a real per-unit landed cost — here $28K of goods plus $2,270 of charges becomes $30,270, with each SKU's landed unit cost and its delta to the PO price shown line by line. It's ready to post to inventory valuation, with the agent-resolved exceptions attached to the receipt so margin is calculated on what the goods actually cost.

  • Posts to inventory valuation with exceptions attached
  • Rebuilds for any inventory that needs true-cost margin
