Production exceptions resolved before the shift change.
Three plants, a weekly production plan and a purchasing team that found out late about input shortages.

- −22%
- idle inventory
- −18%
- purchase orders traced
- 100%
The challenge
Input shortages showed up on the line, not in the plan. Purchasing reacted with rush orders and overstock to cover itself.
What we built
On the real context of the operation, together with the client’s team:
- A brain connected to the ERP, MES and plant spreadsheets
- Purchasing rules and approval limits
- A purchasing agent that prepares replenishments
- Traceability of every order and its approval
How it runs today
The agent spots the shortage days ahead, prepares the order and sends it for approval. Finance approves from the dashboard or by email.
“Purchasing went from putting out fires to planning.”
