Sales Control Tower

One live decision layer across sales, supply chain, operations and finance, run by agents. Four functions stop working from four versions of the truth, and month-end reporting gives way to same-day decisions.

The problem

What this workflow costs today.

01Four versions of the truth

Sales, supply chain, operations and finance each reconcile their own numbers, so every review starts with an argument about the data.

02Out-of-stocks found too late

Stock-outs at outlet and depot level surface in the monthly pack, after the lost sales have already happened.

03Trade spend without a return line

Promotions and rebates are approved on volume ambition, rarely measured on incremental margin afterwards.

04Cash in the wrong inventory

Slow movers sit in one region while fast movers run out in another, and nobody sees both at once.

Three value levers, one tower

From daily signal to same-day decision.

Each lever runs on the same live data spine, so sales, supply and finance act on one number.

Pilot capabilityDemand & Availability

Senses demand shifts by SKU, channel and region, predicts stock-outs at depot and outlet level, and proposes transfers before sales are lost.

Pilot capabilityTrade Spend Effectiveness

Links every promotion, rebate and listing fee to incremental volume and margin, and flags spend that is not paying back.

Pilot capabilityInventory & Cash

Shows where cash sits in slow-moving stock by region, and where fast movers are short, so stock and cash move together.

Watch the agents at work.

A walkthrough of the agents at work: what they see, what they decide, and where people stay in control.

How it works

The AiX™ loop, applied end to end.

Every agent follows the same five steps, so behaviour is predictable and every step leaves evidence.

1
Observe

Secondary sales, orders, stock by depot, promotions calendar and receivables, refreshed daily on the Microsoft Fabric data spine.

2
Reason

Compares demand signals to stock cover and trade commitments; separates true demand change from noise and pipeline fill.

3
Decide

Ranks actions by value at risk: which SKUs to rebalance, which promotions to stop, which accounts to prioritise.

4
Act

Raises alerts, drafts transfer and replenishment proposals, and publishes the daily control tower briefing.

5
Learn

Measures the outcome of every accepted or rejected recommendation and recalibrates forecasts and thresholds.

The agent team

Specialist agents, separated by duty.

No single agent both proposes and approves. Each one has a narrow job, its own tools and its own permissions.

Demand Sensing Agent

Reads secondary sales, orders and seasonality daily and flags demand shifts by SKU, channel and region.

Availability Agent

Watches stock cover across depots and routes, predicts stock-outs and proposes transfers or replenishment.

Trade Spend Agent

Links every promotion and rebate to incremental volume and margin, and scores return on trade spend.

Commercial Briefing Agent

Publishes a same-day briefing for sales, supply and finance leads with the three decisions that matter today.

Authentic AI at the centre

Autonomy you can govern, trace and control.

Speed comes from autonomy. Trust comes from the three things around it. This is how each is designed into Sales Control Tower.

Autonomy

Agents monitor and alert continuously without being asked; anything that moves money or stock is proposed, not executed, until the business widens the band.

Governance

Every KPI has one definition and one owner, agreed with sales, supply and finance before build and enforced in the semantic model.

Traceability

Each recommendation links to the data slice, the rule and the forecast version behind it, so a regional manager can see exactly why a SKU was flagged.

Control

Thresholds, value limits and escalation owners are set per region and per channel, and can be tightened in minutes.

AiX™Authentic AIExplainable, traceable, reconcilable
Autonomy bands

What the agent does alone, and what it never does.

Bands are agreed with the business before go-live and widened only on evidence from the pilot.

Guardrails

  • No price, discount or credit term is changed by an agent
  • Transfer proposals capped by value and by depot minimum stock
  • Forecast overrides require a named reason code
  • Every alert carries the data freshness timestamp
Outcomes & measurement

Every metric has a baseline and a method.

Success metrics are agreed before build and signed off with the client after the pilot.

MetricTargetHow we measure
Out-of-stock rate at outlet and depotDown vs baselineStock-out days per SKU, same period prior year
Lost salesDown vs baselineUnfulfilled order lines valued at list price
Return on trade spendUp vs baselineIncremental margin per unit of trade spend
Cash in slow-moving inventoryDown vs baselineStock value above target cover by region

Pilot results are company-reported and engagement-specific. Figures and names in decision records are illustrative.

How we deliver

The A.G.E.N.T. Method.

Agentic process reengineering, one workflow at a time.

AAudit

Map how the workflow really runs today, with owners, data lineage and the tacit rules.

GGauge

Agree the business outcome, the baseline and the success metrics before build.

EEngineer

Redesign for agent-first execution: agents, tools, rules and autonomy bands.

NNavigate

Pilot inside your controls, train owners and move bands only on evidence.

TTrack

Measure against the baseline and report the result the business signed off.

Start with one workflow, one agent and one measurable result.

Book a working session with our team in Dubai, Riyadh or the UK. We will map the workflow, agree the metric and show the agent running on data like yours.
