reviewable by design
Live
handoff-ready system
From documents in to decisions out.
Each agent starts with a small set of operating actions, clear escalation, and visible ownership.
The pipeline
Watch
Supplier emails, order confirmations and delivery notes are read as they arrive.
Extract
Dates, quantities and part numbers are pulled out of unstructured threads.
Compare
Commitments are checked against the PO book and the production schedule.
Flag
Slips and shortages surface with the email line that revealed them.
Route
The buyer or planner confirms the action; downstream work orders are updated.
Agent actions
Supplier & PO tracking
Supplier emails and PO updates are read as they arrive, so a date slip buried in a reply chain doesn't wait to be noticed.
Demand forecasting & inventory optimization
Demand forecasts and inventory levels are checked against the same reconciled order data, not a separate spreadsheet.
Production milestone & delivery visibility
Production milestones and delivery status are tracked against the schedule, with the source line quoted for every exception.

A slipped delivery, caught in a reply
Workflow trace
A supplier confirms an order, then moves the date two weeks in the fourth reply of a thread.
Read
"…revised dispatch now week 34" — buried mid-thread.
Compare
Week 34 lands after the scheduled line changeover.
Impact
Two work orders and a customer promise date are affected.
Action
Buyer alerted with the thread quoted; expedite and resequence options listed.
Production means the team can trust it.
The system is designed with human review, evaluation, auditability, permissions, and monitoring before expansion.
Human-in-the-loop stays visible.
The agent handles the repetitive path. People still own approvals, exceptions, and high-risk decisions.
