The reliable spine
The non-AI spine is the source-linked workflow: clean records, rules, calculations, integrations, exception queues, approvals and reporting for Demand and inventory sanity layer.
Engineering & Capital Goods
Demand and inventory sanity layer
Slow-moving and dead stock (raw material, bought-outs, finished spares) ties up working capital, and stock-out risk on critical items delays jobs, with no early warning.
Who has it
Machine-tool makers and after-sales spares and MRO operators, who carry spares and catalogue stock, and heavy fabricators, who carry raw material and consumables.
What we build
A read-only layer over the ERP and order book that flags slow-moving and dead stock, reorder points on critical items, and the working capital tied up in carrying cost, so the planner acts early.
What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
Automation for the routine. A person on every decision that matters.
Where AI helps
AI is limited to bounded reading, extraction, matching, clustering or drafting from the firm's own data for Demand and inventory sanity layer; it never owns the number, the approval, the promise or the decision.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
What changes day to day
Dead stock surfaced and worked down; fewer job-stopping stock-outs. Illustrative: working capital released from dead stock.
Illustrative outcome
Dead stock surfaced and worked down; fewer job-stopping stock-outs. Illustrative: working capital released from dead stock. Illustrative; final numbers come from your own data.
