Lives in Teams and Slack.
No new interface to learn. Ask questions, review work, and approve decisions in the channels your team already uses.
Runs in the background.
Agents chase suppliers, reconcile engineering changes, and track milestones on their own. Your team sees results and exceptions, not prompts.
Works with your systems.
Connected to your ERP, email, spreadsheets, and document stores: SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Outlook, Excel, SharePoint, and whatever else the work lives in.
Built around your operation.
Every deployment is shaped to your workflows, approvals, and data. Not a general assistant with your logo on it.
Works in Slack, Teams, WhatsApp, Google Chat, Outlook and Gmail.

Follow-up starts
before you ask.
Agents work like members of your team, watching commitments, finding the next task, and picking up where people leave off. They follow work through to completion within your security controls and approval rules, bringing results and decisions that need your sign-off directly into Slack or Teams.
In Outlook, Northline Power writes that it can hold the TX-05 production slot until Friday at noon if the approved Rev C drawings are returned. In SharePoint, Rev C shows engineering approval pending with Maya Chen, and the agent requests her review. In the ERP, it prepares an approval packet on purchase order PO-2091 with the supplier email and the drawing reference, leaving the order awaiting approval. In Teams, it tells the equipment procurement channel the reservation expires Friday at noon and asks the team to review Rev C, with the approval packet attached. Engineering approval is still awaited.

the path ahead.
A delay rarely stays in one place. Trace its impact through the project, compare possible responses, and understand the tradeoffs before you commit.
What if the transformer slips six weeks?
A production delay pushes equipment delivery past the planned site window. Compare the original commitment with two possible responses.

Follow the evidence.
Bring supplier intelligence, public filings, permits, and project information into the same investigation. Understand what changed, why it matters, and which commitments it touches.
A purchase order is only the beginning.
Connect quoted lead times, production updates, capacity announcements, and past commitments to the equipment you’re counting on.

Delivery assumptions
Minimum / most likely / maximum, in weeks
- Engineering approval
- minimum 1, most likely 2, maximum 5 weeks
- Material readiness
- minimum 2, most likely 4, maximum 8 weeks
- Production
- minimum 12, most likely 15, maximum 20 weeks
- Factory testing
- minimum 1, most likely 2, maximum 4 weeks
- Freight
- minimum 2, most likely 3, maximum 5 weeks
Approval and materials run in parallel, followed by production, testing, and freight. Base durations use independent triangular distributions. Each run samples one uniform supplier delay from zero to the slider maximum, adding it to production and 15% of it to testing.
20,000 kW × $150 = $3M monthly rent, or approximately $690K per delayed week.
P80 exposure = weeks beyond Week 28 at P80 × weekly rent. Exposure is zero when P80 delivery is on time.
Assumes each late week delays rental income across all 20 MW. Exposure covers deferred base rent only, excluding financing, standby costs, penalties, operating costs, and later revenue recovery.
$150 is an illustrative assumption. Rental-market context: JLL’s 2026 Data Center Outlook.
How we deploy
- Step 01
Map how your team works.
We start by mapping how work actually moves through your company: how equipment is specified, sourced, tracked, and delivered, and who signs off along the way. That shows where commitments slip between teams and systems, and where agents can take the follow-up off your team’s plate.
- Step 02
Design the workflows.
We design each agent workflow around the way your team already operates, with your suppliers, systems, and approval rules built in from the start. You review the design at every stage, so nothing reaches a live project without your sign-off.
- Step 03
Connect and go live.
We connect the agents to the tools your team already works in, from ERP and inboxes to Slack and Teams, and put them to work on live projects. Your existing software stays in place, and the system expands as more of the operation comes onto it.
