It’s a typical Monday morning: you log into the system and immediately see that hundreds of orders are on hold due to supply issues. Dashboards show a gap, but your software can’t tell you why. Was it a broken bill of materials, invalid sourcing rules or a forecast that didn’t anticipate a surge in demand? Every minute spent calling colleagues and chasing down root causes is another order left unfulfilled, and another customer left waiting.
The Inventory Ops Agent accelerates planning by streamlining workflows through a conversational interface that generates context-aware plans, surfaces risks and enables fast scenario evaluation. It provides a digest of the current state of operations and identifies anomalies early, explaining root causes, and recommending corrective actions to help teams find issues sooner or even prevent them before they impact service, cost, or margins. With insights unified across demand and supply, planners make smarter, more strategic decisions faster. Over time, the agent learns user preferences, creating a custom view and surfacing key highlights that help reduce fire drills and empower teams to focus more of their time on high-value work.

The Inventory Ops Agent follows the SADA loop—see, analyze, decide, and act.
It monitors real-time demand, sourcing, and fulfillment signals and analyzes anomalies, such as invalid inputs, forecast errors, or sourcing conflicts. This allows it to decide and advise on corrective actions like reallocation or plan adjustment, and act by applying changes or escalating issues with planner oversight.
It takes on the heavy lifting of data validation and root-cause analysis, leaving planners with more time for high-value strategy.
The inventory ops agent currently provides four powerful skills:
Over time, these skills adapt to planner priorities, turning complex plan reviews into faster, more confident actions. And this is only the beginning, richer insights and fully agentic workflows are just ahead.
What it delivers
The Inventory Ops Agent is built for enterprise scale, drawing on the Blue Yonder Platform that processes more than 25 billion predictions each day. This scale proves our agents can handle the variability and complexity of global supply chains, giving planners tools they can rely on when accuracy matters most.
The Inventory Ops Agent is one of several domain-focused AI agents designed to accelerate supply chain action. See how you can put AI agents to work in your operations today.
