AI systems for owners and managers

AI that takes the manual work out of your orders, purchasing and data.

I'm Robert Sher. I build AI systems for distributors and product businesses, and I show the checks that prove they work before anyone relies on them.

Marketplace orders arrive all day. Who types them in?

A 27-second look at the problem, what we built, and what we measured.

What we measured

Results, not promises.

24 sfor the first real marketplace order to be entered in the ERP, every field correct, checked by the person who used to type them.
16 of 16safety checks passed in one authorised real purchasing cycle, each seen to fail first.
~$500Koutside quote avoided by building it in house.
~60,000products in a live store, fed by 20+ supplier feeds that repair their own sign-ins.
Common problems

Five problems, and what we built for each.

01

Orders typed in by hand

Built: an order assistant that reads each marketplace order and enters it into the ERP.

Measured: first real order in 24 seconds, every field correct.

02

Reorders depend on one person

Built: a purchasing assistant that drafts the reorders; a person approves.

Measured: 16 of 16 safety checks, each seen to fail first.

03

The outside quote is a fortune

Built: a working prototype, put next to the quote.

Measured: about $500K avoided.

04

Thousands of products, moving prices

Built: a store on a ~60,000-product catalogue, fed by 20+ supplier feeds.

Measured: live, selling through a major marketplace.

05

An old system nobody wants to touch

Built: a modern layer in front of the legacy ERP, one controlled way in.

Measured: tested end to end in a test environment.

How we start

Start small, and prove it.

1. Pick one narrow jobFor example, quoting one product line.
2. A person approves every outputNo exceptions at the start.
3. Count what it got rightAnd what it missed. That count is your evidence.
