Automate procurement order confirmations
with zero manual chasing

Procurement is left chasing confirmations across hundreds of orders when ERP systems stop at the point of raising a purchase order. Agent PO is the AI agent that follows up with suppliers, flags issues and keeps every order on track.

The million dollar consequences of chasing order confirmations manually

Missed confirmations

Critical order confirmations are missed, with comms scattered across inboxes, leaving procurement firefighting fallout.

Production delays

Unconfirmed orders delay production, cause downtime, and drive up logistics costs through last minute decision-making.

Customer impact

Late materials delay finished goods, resulting in penalties, missed incentives, and damaged customer relationships.

A smarter way to manage order confirmations

Agent PO automatically tracks every purchase order, chases suppliers for confirmation, and updates your ERP in real time with validated data.

Order instantly logged and tracked

Agent PO automatically tracks every purchase order, chases suppliers for confirmation, and updates your ERP in real time with validated data.

Smart confirmation tracking

Agent PO monitors for a supplier response and detects when no reply is received within your predefined time window (e.g. 48 hours).

Exception alerts to your team

If no confirmation is received, Agent PO sends you an alert via email, Slack, Teams, and the platform’s exception dashboard.

Automated supplier follow-ups

Agent PO drafts a follow-up email to the supplier. In semi-automated mode, the user reviews and sends. If fully-automated, it’s sent instantly.

Key capabilities that drive results

Automated supplier follow-ups

Agent scans all open POs, finds missing confirmations, drafts contextual follow-ups per line, eliminating manual chasing.

Manage by exception with alerts

Instead of monitoring every order, buyers only get notified when confirmations are late or mismatched, keeping focus on what matters.

What moves the needle for your business

Uninterrupted production

Reliable confirmations reduce costly downtime, lift throughput, and enable smoother production.

Fewer splits and expedites

Helps avoid last-minute logistics fixes like premium freight and split shipments, reducing emergency spend.

Improved OTIF performance

With orders confirmed on time, finished goods are delivered when promised, protecting revenue and customer trust.

I'm very thankful for the agent's help because the agent is doing most of my work. It’s giving me the time I need to spend on other things that require extensive time and thought towards it.
So I love the tool. I love it every time it's mentioned. I want to see what else we can do with it.
