When a team member posts a request in the operations [chat platform, e.g. Slack, Microsoft Teams] channel, an AI agent interprets whether they want to check stock, update inventory, or create an order, then reads or writes the matching rows in [logistics spreadsheet tool, e.g. Google Sheets, Excel]. It confirms each change in the thread with the updated stock level or order details, and asks for clarification when a request is ambiguous.

Problem
Operations and logistics teams manage inventory updates and order creation across disconnected spreadsheets and logistics tools, while daily communication happens in chat. The gap between these systems forces manual copying and pasting, leading to stock mismatches, slow order processing, and poor auditability. This makes an accurate, current view of inventory hard to keep.

Impact

Flag KPI anomalies for owners
Every few minutes, the automation pulls the latest KPI metrics from the BI tool and compares each metric against its defined baseline to detect spikes or drops. When an anomaly is found, it uses AI to summarize the likely drivers from related metrics and recent changes, then sends an alert with the metric, its current value, its baseline, and that summary to the relevant KPI owner through the team chat platform and by email.
