Supplier chaser
Chases delivery times and order confirmations with your suppliers, so the materials are there when the work starts.
Saves, estimated: ± 1 hour a week
Supplier chaser is an AI agent from Altramano for operations and planning. An AI agent does a task that involves reading, assessing or writing, such as assessing an enquiry or drafting a reply. It puts it in front of you, or does it itself if you want it to.
What it does
- Keeps track of which orders have no confirmation yet.
- Asks the supplier for the confirmation or the delivery time after a few days.
- Reports a delivery that comes later than the work is scheduled.
- Gives a weekly overview of open orders.
An example
- In
- An order from last week without confirmation, for a job that starts on Monday.
- Out
- A question to the supplier for approval and a note that the job cannot start without these materials.
Where the limit lies
A question to a supplier passes you until you let it go by itself; a schedule it never changes.

Frequently asked questions
How does it know when the work starts?
From the job or the calendar you connect. So it can say whether a delivery is too late.
Does it phone suppliers?
No. It mails, in your tone, and tells you if a supplier does not answer.
Can it compare prices too?
No. That is done by the Materials checker on the order confirmation. This agent watches the time.
