What it does
The Snack Restock Planner agent is the specialist for this job: plans snack, drinks and tobacco restocks between deliveries based on fast-moving lines.
Who it's for
Your team. It runs in the console for your staff and through the REST API. It is a team agent, so it is never exposed to shoppers.
Questions it answers
Ask it in any of our languages, for example:
- "What snacks and drinks need restocking at JVC before Thursday's delivery?"
- "Fast movers about to run out at Sheikh Zayed Road"
- "Build the ambient order for Al Nahda"
The live demo shows these as sample prompts in your language, on a fictional store's data.
How it works
- It understands the question in the language it was written in, even when your catalog is in another language.
- It looks things up with tools, never from memory:
- Read-only sql over your retail data (sandboxed per workspace)
- Search over your policies and faqs, with citations
- It answers from your data, in your brand voice and currency, and shows which tools it used.
- Rules stay in code. Prices, eligibility and permissions come from your data and settings; the agent explains them and can't invent them. Why this matters.
The data it needs
Orders, Order lines, Products, Inventory. As soon as these tables are loaded, the agent is ready to switch on. Files can use your own column names: they're mapped automatically. See Connect your data.
Works well with
- Safety Stock Optimiser: Suggests safety stock per SKU from demand variability and an assumed lead time and service level.
- Phantom Inventory Detector: Flags items showing stock in the system but not selling, so stores can recount them.
- Seasonal Build Planner: Plans pre-season stock builds by category from monthly sales patterns and current stock.
- New Store Opening Stock Plan: Builds an opening stock list for a new store from best sellers and category mix.
- Auto-replenishment Engine: Proposes replenishment orders from recent sales velocity and stock, for a buyer to approve.
Your team can use them side by side in the console, or call each one through the API.
Turn it on
- Load the data it needs.
- Install Snack Restock Planner from the Agent catalog and add your own instructions (guide).
- Test it in the Playground, in every language you serve.
- Invite your team or call it from your own systems.
