{"id":101233,"title":"Korso - AI Agents for Manufacturing","tagline":"Automate any workflow and gain insights across your ERP, CRM, MES, Inbox, and more.","body":"**TL;DR:** Manufacturers are buried in coordination work that is well-defined but still manual. Korso lets them describe those workflows in plain English and deploy autonomous agents that run across their existing systems.\n\n## \u003chttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOKcdERZe9w\u003e\n\n## The Problem\n\nOps, procurement, and customer-service teams at manufacturers spend the majority of their week on coordination that is clearly defined but never automated:\n\n* Chasing suppliers for ETAs\n* Processing incoming RFQs\n* Routing PO approvals\n* Monitoring order exceptions\n* Following up on stale opportunities\n\nEvery person on one of these teams could write down the exact steps for the task, and yet nobody has built the thing that runs those steps reliably at scale.\n\nThe tooling around this problem is stuck in a half-finished state:\n\n* ERP-native AI answers questions about ERP data; it doesn’t execute the multi-step workflows that sit between the data and the work getting done.\n* Middleware and iPaaS connect systems but don’t make decisions.\n* Systems integrators custom-code workflows that take quarters to ship and break when a process changes.\n* BPO adds variable cost and leaves the underlying coordination fragmented.\n\nWhen a manufacturer adds a product line, a new region, or a new supplier tier, the coordination load scales linearly, and so does the headcount requirement.\n\n## What We Built\n\nAtlas generates autonomous coordination agents on top of the ERP systems manufacturers already run: SAP, NetSuite, Oracle, Dynamics 365, Odoo, and more.\n\nA workflow that today takes a quarter to custom-code or an ongoing BPO contract to staff is, on Atlas, described in plain English and stood up as a running agent in hours.\n\n## Workflows We’ve Deployed\n\n### Procurement \u0026 Supplier Coordination\n\nChases supplier responses, confirms ETAs, routes PO approvals, and escalates exceptions before they become missed deliveries.\n\n### RFQ to Quote\n\nParses incoming RFQs from email or portal, prices against history and current cost, drafts and routes quotes for approval, and tracks through to response.\n\n### Order \u0026 Exception Handling\n\nMonitors order status across ERP and transport systems, surfaces exceptions before they escalate, and maintains a complete audit trail.\n\n### Natural Language to Workflow\n\nTurn any manual process into automation simply by prompting an agent.\\\n\\\n**Our Ask:**\n\nIf you know any manufacturer with a coordination-heavy ops or procurement team, we’d love to talk!
