About the video

AI that Helps People make Better Decisions

Artificial intelligence is transforming supply chain management, but its greatest value is not making decisions for people. It is helping them make better ones.

In this session, Halla, Head of Integrations at AGR, explains how AI can help inventory and supply chain teams manage growing complexity without adding more work. As supply chains become more dynamic and data volumes continue to increase, planners need tools that help them process information, identify what matters, and focus on the decisions that create value.

Rather than promising perfect predictions, Halla presents a practical view of AI as a tool for navigating uncertainty. She also shares how AGR has applied AI internally to accelerate customer onboarding, simplify integrations, and deliver faster value while keeping people firmly at the centre of the decision-making process.

What you will learn

  • Why modern supply chain planning requires a different approach to handling data and complexity.
  • How AI helps planners process more information without becoming overwhelmed.
  • Why AI should be viewed as a navigation tool rather than a crystal ball.
  • The importance of combining automation with human judgement to improve decision-making.
  • How AI enables faster onboarding, integrations, and continuous improvement for supply chain software.
  • Why resilient supply chains are built by designing systems that adapt to change rather than assuming plans will never change.
  • How reducing repetitive work gives planners more time for supplier collaboration, exception management, and strategic planning.
  • How AGR is embedding AI into everyday workflows so businesses benefit from innovation without needing AI expertise.

Frequently asked questions

What is AI-driven inventory management?

AI-driven inventory management uses machine-learning models to forecast demand at SKU level, detect anomalies in sales history, and propose replenishment orders that planners can approve in one click. In AGR, AI runs continuously on ERP sales and stock data and surfaces only the exceptions that need human attention.

Automation executes rules you already defined — for example, auto-generating a purchase order when stock hits a reorder point. AI improves the rules themselves: it learns seasonality, promotions and supplier lead-time variability from historical data and updates forecasts and safety stock without manual tuning.

Most AGR SaaS customers go live in 4–8 weeks. The standardised data model and prebuilt ERP connectors (Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, NAV, SAP, NetSuite, Sage, IFS, Jeeves) remove the multi-month integration work typical of legacy supply-chain tools.

AGR has prebuilt, supported connectors for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Dynamics NAV, SAP, NetSuite, Sage, Visma, IFS and Jeeves. Other ERPs connect via REST API or flat-file integration.

Across AGR’s customer base, companies typically reduce inventory holding by up to 11% and cut stockouts by up to 40% within the first 12 months — based on AGR customer benchmark data, 2025.

Yes. AGR is used by 400+ companies across wholesale distribution, specialty and FMCG retail, and manufacturing with raw-material and finished-goods planning. The same forecasting and ordering engine adapts to each vertical via configuration, not custom code.
