FAQ

Who should use this Inventory Management solution?

Inventory management, demand planning, and merchandising teams who need fast, accurate, and strategic insights to forecast demand, plan buys, allocate inventory, and maximize profits.

What are the types of inventory questions we can answer with this agent?

Ask questions related to forecasting demand, planning buys, allocating inventory, or working with suppliers, for example: "Which suppliers have low margins but high marketing spend,” "Where are we consistently over-forecasting by category,” or “Which products had high marketing spend but low forecast accuracy and underperformed in net sales?”

Does WRITER replace demand forecasting systems?

WRITER doesn’t replace your existing demand forecasting systems, it makes them smarter. Most forecasting tools generate the numbers but can’t explain why forecasts miss or where bias creeps in. An inventory management agent connects your quantitative forecasts with unstructured data like categories, suppliers, or ingredients to uncover root causes, highlight forecast bias, and surface actionable opportunities. 

Will the agent push changes to OMS/WMS/ERP?

Yes. WRITER agents can go beyond analysis to action. Once insights are surfaced — like a stockout risk or an aging inventory issue —  the agent can draft transfers, update purchase orders, or push recommended changes directly into OMS, WMS, or ERP systems. Every action is governed with human-in-the-loop review, full observability, and auditability so IT and planning leaders stay in control.

How does WRITER integrate with our existing data?

With over 100 native connectors, WRITER AI agents are designed to securely and seamlessly integrate with inventory management systems, data warehouses like Snowflake or Google BigQuery, and Excel. The agent can draft or push changes with full human-in-the-loop review. Permissions are set by your admin and/or IT.
