From customer RFQ to supplier invoice, without the manual relay.
Manufacturers sit between two document streams: customer RFQs and orders on one side, supplier quotes, confirmations and invoices on the other. Sales, purchasing and finance spend their days moving information between them. The agents take over the moving, inside your ERP and under your approvals.
The work today
Where the time goes in manufacturing.
RFQs with specifications
Customer requests arrive with specification sheets and bills of materials, and each has to be read before anyone can give a price or a date.
Materials to source
Every order pulls purchase requests behind it: RFQs to suppliers, offers to compare, lead times to confirm.
Supplier paperwork
Confirmations, delivery notes and invoices arrive in every format, and each has to be checked against what was ordered.
Matching that cannot slip
Three-way matching is rule-bound and repetitive, and a variance nobody catches goes straight to cost.
Industry workflows
Workflows the agents take over in manufacturing.
Each runs on a ready-made solution or, where the workflow is specific to you, on the same foundation through the AI Operating System.

Questions from manufacturing teams.
Can it read specification sheets and bills of materials?
Yes. It reads PDF specifications, scanned documents and Excel bills of materials attached to RFQs, and extracts line items, quantities and requested dates. Where a price depends on engineering judgment, it prepares the information and hands the quote to your team.
Can it place purchase orders with our suppliers?
Within the thresholds and approval matrix you set, and only with suppliers on your approved list. Above those thresholds it prepares the order and waits for approval.
Does it replace our ERP or planning systems?
No. It works in the systems you already run and writes into them. Planning and production stay in the systems that run them today.
Where do the agents run?
Inside your own infrastructure. They work directly in your systems, so your records are not copied into a shared service. The model endpoints they use, and the data terms that apply to them, are agreed with you before deployment.
Next step

In a workflow session we trace a real customer RFQ or purchase request through your systems and separate the judgment from the relay.
