It's 5:45 AM. The reorder is already placed.
Your 6061 aluminum bar stock dropped below the 2-week safety threshold at 4 PM yesterday. Your TabTab agent caught the inventory trigger, checked pricing from your three approved suppliers, found a 4% discount on a bulk order from your secondary vendor with 3-day delivery, generated a PO matching your terms, and sent it for approval. Your purchasing manager sees a ready-to-sign PO at 5:45 AM with a side-by-side cost comparison. No stockout. No rush freight.
The problems we eliminate.
RFQs sit in the inbox — customers go to the shop that responds first
AI parses RFQ drawings and specs, pulls material costs, and generates preliminary quotes within hours — not days
Job scheduling is a whiteboard nightmare — priorities shift daily
Scheduling agent optimizes machine utilization, sequences jobs by due date and setup time, and rebalances when rush orders arrive
Material procurement delays hold up production
Procurement agent tracks raw material inventory, auto-orders from preferred suppliers, and cross-references job requirements against current stock
Quality escapes cost more than rework — customer complaints damage reputation
Quality agent tracks inspection results per job, identifies trending defect patterns, and alerts before scrap rates exceed thresholds
Quoting is slow — estimators buried in manual calculations
Estimating agent pulls historical data from similar jobs: cycle times, material usage, scrap rates. Quotes anchored in real shop performance, not guesses.

Delivery tracker monitors every open job against promised dates. Alerts when jobs fall behind schedule with enough time to recover or communicate.
