The problem it solves

You often find out about a supplier delay or stockout risk only after it's already affecting orders. Digging through procurement and warehouse systems to spot early warning signs takes time you don't have.

Who it fits

A supply chain planner, logistics manager, or operations director overseeing multiple suppliers and warehouses.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the system pulls data from your procurement and warehouse systems
  2. AI reviews the combined data for unusual patterns or emerging risks
  3. A second AI agent decides how serious each finding is
  4. Critical risks trigger a Slack alert and an escalation email
  5. Everything else is logged in a standard report for your records
What you get

Supply risks flagged before they become shortages

You get a Slack alert and escalation email the moment your procurement and warehouse data show signs of a coming disruption.

What you get

Early Slack alerts on critical supply risks, plus a regular summary report.

What you need

Access to your procurement, warehouse, and transportation system APIs, an OpenAI API key, a Slack workspace, and an email account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
