The reliable spine
The non-AI spine is the source-linked workflow: clean records, rules, calculations, integrations, exception queues, approvals and reporting for Dispatch and logistics; connect-and-automate.
Metals, Foundries & Steel
Dispatch and logistics; connect-and-automate
Heavy-load metals dispatch (TMT, sections, castings, structurals, scrap loads) runs on paper challans and phone calls; proof-of-delivery never ties to the invoice, freight is billed above the rate card and weight slab, and the website, ERP, weighbridge and logistics systems do not talk, so a person is the glue re-keying every order and weighbridge weight.
Who has it
Sharpest for re-rolling mills (heavy-load TMT and section dispatch and freight audit) and scrap and metal traders (scrap-load dispatch and freight), and real for foundries and fabrication shops (casting and structural dispatch); the connect-and-automate wiring suits any plant running several systems that do not talk.
What we build
Two builds. The dispatch and logistics workflow covers dispatch and gate-pass, weighbridge-to-invoice and proof-of-delivery-to-bill reconciliation, and freight-bill audit against the rate card and weight slabs. The connect-and-automate layer is deterministic, event-driven wiring between the ERP, accounting, weighbridge, dealer-portal and logistics systems so an event in one flows to the others.
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 Dispatch and logistics; connect-and-automate; 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
Consignment status is visible without a phone call; delivered loads stop going under-billed; freight and weight overcharges get caught and claimed; the team stops being the integration layer between systems that do not talk. Illustrative; final numbers come from your own data.
