What this replaces
Three patterns that punish tools built for industrial procurement.
Carry cost
Yesterday's order quantity is today's overstock. Agents reorder against current rate of sale, current promotion calendar, current weather, and the markdown horizon. The default 'last year plus 7%' planning falls away the first cycle.
Margin leak
Your private-label vendors are smaller, more variable, and easier to lose. The buyer who chases them is also the buyer who's never at her desk. Agents handle the follow-through so the relationships don't decay.
Weak leverage
When it's QBR time, the score that goes on the slide is whatever someone built last Friday. Continuous scoring against the data already in your ERP makes the conversation evidence-based.
WEEK 01
Sell-through into the planning agent, vendor and PO data into the sourcing agent.
WEEK 02
Continuous against OTIF, returns, lead-time variance. Replaces whatever spreadsheet is currently in use.
WEEK 03
Replenishment that knows when a SKU is headed into markdown and stops over-ordering 30 days out.
WEEK 04
Email, quote-compare, counter-offer agents activate for private-label suppliers.
