An allocation desk that chooses between orders by your rules.
The allocation desk takes the shortage decisions your planners take today. It weighs the competing orders by your policy, allocates what its scope allows, and escalates the hard choices.
A shortage in your ERP or warehouse system: open orders for an item exceed the stock available to promise.
It reads stock, open orders, promised dates and customer priority. It writes allocations, and internal messages to account owners.
You set the allocation policy, the safety stock, and the items and sites in scope. It allocates inside that scope and escalates when a priority customer would miss a date.
It never tells a customer about a late order, never cancels an order, and never uses safety stock without a person.
“When open orders exceed available stock, allocate by our policy within your scope, hold back safety stock, and tell account owners early which orders will miss their promised date. Escalate when a priority customer would miss. Report to the supply chain lead.”
The floors no configuration can weaken
Seven limits sit under every level, level 5 included. Your own limits can only tighten them.
A person decides. The threshold is yours to lower, never to remove.
Nothing is signed, agreed, or terminated without a person.
A relationship is not a record to be closed. It stops with a person.
Reporting lines, roles, and who is accountable are set by people.
No AI employee can raise its own level or anyone else’s.
Anything leaving the organisation is gated, whatever the level.
Handled under your rules, with a person deciding on anything that acts on it.
A shortage split by policy, and a hard choice escalated.
Each allocation keeps the competing orders and the policy ranking as they stood, so the question “why did they get stock and we didn’t” has an answer.
Whoever shouts loudest gets the stock.
Stock goes by your policy, and the ranking is on the record.
Account owners hear about late orders from the customer.
Account owners hear early, with the new date.
Nobody can say later why one order was cut.
Every allocation replays with the competing orders as they stood.
Two weeks on last month’s shortages.
It proposes an allocation for every shortage your planners handled last month. You compare its proposals with what your people decided, and nothing in your systems changes.
Two-week retrospective evaluation
You see how it would have allocated each shortage, where it would have escalated, and where it would have disagreed with your planners.
Budgeted like an operational role · Zero token metering
Expenditure is tied to completed operational outcomes, not token consumption or prompt volume. A high-volume month or quarter never generates a variable surprise bill, providing fixed annual forecasting for CAIOs, CFOs, and Procurement leads.
Stock allocation
The pilot role. Routine shortages allocated by policy, priority misses escalated with options.
Supplier chasing
Follows up unconfirmed orders and escalates before dates slip.
Supplier risk watch
Blocks new orders to a supplier whose risk has changed, while the change is reviewed.
