Food & beverageRestaurants · Distribution · Procurement
Thin margins and high transaction counts, where input prices move weekly and a small percentage of unnoticed price drift is the whole year's profit.
What actually hurts here.
Every assessment starts by measuring these rather than assuming them, but these are the workflows that rank highest in food & beverage more often than not.
- 01
Thousands of low-value supplier invoices a month
- 02
Agreed prices quietly drifting between contract reviews
- 03
Credit notes and short deliveries reconciled by hand
- 04
Multi-site ordering with no single view of spend
The agents that apply.
In priority order, based on where the recoverable cost usually sits in this sector. Which one goes first is decided by your assessment, not by this page.
Clark
Payables
Extracts vendor invoices from any format and posts the payable straight into SAP or NetSuite, with duplicate detection before anything is released.
How Clark works →Chandler
Procurement
Runs RFQ to PO with multi-vendor negotiation across email, SMS and voice, then holds suppliers to the pricing schedule they agreed to.
How Chandler works →Swift
Order management
Turns inbound customer purchase order PDFs into clean sales orders in minutes rather than days, flagging only what genuinely needs a decision.
How Swift works →Every agent stops at an approval gate until it has earned its way out of one. Nothing releases cash, commits spend or touches a customer without a person saying so.
Your agents are built around your organization.
The way you price, route, approve and escalate is years of accumulated judgment, and it's a real advantage. It belongs to you and it stays with you, we're not asking you to hand over your playbook or fit yourself into someone else's template. We start from how your business already works, encode that logic into agents built for your environment, and leave you with an operation that runs faster with exactly the things that make you good at it still intact.
Bring us one workflow.
Thirty minutes, no deck. Pick the process that costs you most in people, errors or delay, and we'll pressure-test whether an agent is genuinely the right answer for it.

- What the first deployment would involve, and roughly what it costs
- An honest answer if the sequencing is wrong and you should fix something else first
