Agentic Commerce: Procurement Automation for Industrial Distribution
Multi-agent workflows that support procurement, with clear guardrails and human approval for high-risk decisions.
Representative scenario based on the kinds of projects AWZ handles. Client names and proof are private. Targets are agreed and measured per project — published figures are not audited outcomes.

Understanding the Problem
A distributor's procurement team spent significant time on routine reorders across many suppliers. Data arrived in PDFs and emailed spreadsheets, and approval decisions carried financial risk.
How We Solved It
We built workflow automation that ingested supplier data, normalized it, and triggered structured procurement steps within defined guardrails. A human approved orders above a threshold and any exception to standard terms. All agents operated within explicitly authorized boundaries.
What We Measure
These are the measures we would define and validate with the client. They are not published client results.
Cycle time
Depends on supplier responsiveness and internal approval workflows; measured at the client, not a fixed reduction.
Annual savings
Validated from the client's own spend data and volume; no point figure promised upfront.
Manual tasks
Routine steps were automated; human oversight remains for approvals and exceptions.
Stockout reduction
Depends on demand forecast accuracy and supplier lead times; not a guaranteed outcome.
