What is the PO Management Agent?

The PO Management Agent is an AI agent that autonomously checks purchase order status and executes changes to purchase orders to minimize stockouts and excess inventory across all suppliers and SKUs. It includes human-in-the-loop steps when outside guardrails.

  • Proactive supplier management

    Chases ex-factory dates, delivery confirmations and booking details directly with suppliers to keep orders on schedule and visibility high

  • Performance-driven actions

    Reacts to real sales performance instead of static review cycles, reducing overstocks and stockouts across every store and SKU
