Manufacturing relies on clear communication between teams, suppliers, and logistics partners. Delays in answering questions about orders, shipments, or inventory often lead to costly disruptions in production. Teams spend hours on phone calls and emails, trying to manage updates and clarify requirements.

AI agents reduce this friction by automating supplier communication, providing instant updates, and tracking interactions. This creates smoother workflows and minimizes bottlenecks across the supply chain.
