24 use cases, 8 specialists

Procurement and supply chain strategist

  • Sourcing from China with AI: from quote request to contract

    Helps choose a platform or trade show, draft a request for quotation to factories, compare the replies in a table, and write quality, deadline, and penalty terms into the contract.

  • Procurement strategy with the Kraljic matrix: AI assistant

    Sorts purchased items using the Kraljic matrix and ABC analysis and proposes an approach for each group: a long-term contract, a tender, order consolidation, or a backup supplier.

  • AI for incoming quality control of deliveries

    Draws up an incoming inspection plan with AQL sampling, a list of parameters to check, and a report template, and, when defects are found, an 8D corrective action plan for the supplier.

Supplier evaluation specialist

  • Checking a supplier on 1688 with AI

    Gathers information about the seller — company registration, certificates, time in business, reviews — and flags risks, for example a reseller instead of a factory, without relying only on the platform's rating.

  • Supplier scorecard: AI helps you choose

    Builds a weighted table — price, quality, lead times, capacity, reliability — assigns scores based on the documents provided, with evidence for each score, and compares the candidates.

  • AI assistant for supplier negotiations

    Calculates the total cost of the purchase and prepares a negotiating position: targets and acceptable concessions on price, deferred payment, tooling, liability for defects, and exit from the contract.

Inventory forecasting specialist

  • Product demand forecasting with AI

    Uses the sales history in Excel to separate regular demand from promotions and one-off spikes, accounts for seasonality, and builds a forecast by product with the possible error indicated.

  • Safety stock and reorder point calculation: AI assistant

    Calculates the safety stock and reorder point for each product, taking into account the required availability level, lead time fluctuations, pack multiples, and the minimum order quantity.

  • AI agent for planning shipments to Wildberries and Ozon

    Uses stock levels and sales by warehouse to calculate what and how much to ship to each warehouse, where a product will soon run out, and what has been sitting too long, and puts this into a shipment table.

Route logistics specialist

  • Delivery route optimization: AI logistician

    Builds routes for the day from a list of addresses, delivery windows, and vehicle capacities, calculates mileage and load, and compares the result with the current scheme.

  • AI compares freight carriers by price and delivery time

    Puts the carriers' terms into one table based on your real shipments — cost, delivery times, problem deliveries — and shows which carrier is the better choice for each route.

  • Shipping from China: logistics calculation with an AI agent

    Compares the options — truck, rail, sea, consolidated cargo — by cost, transit time, and possible customs delays and puts together a calculation of the full cost to the warehouse.

Garment production engineer

  • Garment workshop capacity calculation with AI

    Calculates the output for each operation from the product range, operation times, and shifts, finds the bottlenecks, and shows how many people and machines the plan requires.

  • Garment workshop layout: AI arranges the work areas

    Proposes an arrangement of the work areas — cutting, sewing, inspection, packing, warehouse — with the flow of fabric and people, aisles, and evacuation routes, and justifies it.

  • AI assistant for selecting garment production equipment

    Draws up a list of machines for your product range — jeans, knitwear, down jackets, underwear — compares the options by cost of ownership and service availability, and splits the investment into stages.

Design engineer

  • Part strength and fatigue calculation: AI assistant for design engineers

    Calculates a part's strength, stiffness, and fatigue from the loads, dimensions, and material, shows the formulas and safety margins, and flags the assumptions that an engineer must check.

  • AI for gear drive calculation

    Selects the gear drive parameters — module, numbers of teeth, gear ratio — checks the drive for contact and bending strength, and writes up the calculation as a document.

  • Parts list to ESKD standards: AI agent for design engineers

    Prepares a parts list (specification) in Word or Excel from the assembly structure according to the rules of ESKD (the Unified System for Design Documentation) and checks designations, names, and standard parts for errors.

Civil engineer

  • Foundation calculation with AI

    Calculates the bearing capacity of the foundation soil and the settlement from site survey data and building loads and shows the calculation steps and the assumptions for the designer to check.

  • AI assistant for floor beam calculation

    Compiles the loads, selects the cross-section of a wood, metal, or reinforced concrete beam, and checks it for strength and deflection against the Russian building code (SP), stating its edition.

  • Design check against Russian SP building codes: AI agent for engineers

    Reads the explanatory note and the calculations, checks the design decisions against the Russian building codes (SP) in force, and compiles a table of comments with references to the clauses of the codes.

Livestock records auditor

  • Checking a veterinary drug log with AI

    Reconciles receipts and usage of veterinary drugs in Excel against the treatment log, checks batch numbers, expiration dates, and the order in which batches are used, and lists the discrepancies with row numbers.

  • AI agent for reconciling feed records on a farm

    Matches feed receipts, consumption, and balances by animal group, finds impossible dates, duplicates, and mixed-up units, and suggests a correction without changing the original records.

  • Livestock mortality and movement records: AI check

    Reconciles mortality, transfers between groups, and vaccinations against the herd headcount by date and compiles a discrepancy report, flagging the cases worth showing to a veterinarian.
