Move from record to action
Counts, POs, transfers, supplier delays, channel mismatch, and receiving variance become tasks with an owner, reason, and next step.
Feature
Agent-native IMS/OMS
Order3 handles inventory and order work where records need to trigger action. It watches stock, orders, suppliers, locations, and approvals; flags what changed; drafts the next action; and keeps spend and record changes behind human approval.
What you get
Three outcomes operators can see
Give agents usable records
Agents can explain, recommend, and draft against the same item, location, supplier, approval, and audit records the team already uses.
Keep the human checkpoint
Approvers stay in control of supplier messages, spend, inventory value, and risky record changes. The system preserves the draft and the final decision.
How it works
From action to record
- 01
Observe the records
Order3 reads stock, orders, locations, suppliers, thresholds, receiving events, channel state, and approval rules.
- 02
Detect the exception
The system flags low stock, count drift, missing receives, channel mismatch, supplier delay, or a PO that needs attention.
- 03
Explain and draft
The agent shows the SKU, location, records checked, reason, and draft action: PO, transfer, count task, hold, note, or approval request.
- 04
Approve and audit
A person approves, edits, or dismisses. The activity history records the original draft, the decision, the owner, and the timestamp.

How it works
What agent-native means for inventory
Agent-native inventory starts with structured records: items, locations, orders, suppliers, permissions, policies, approvals, and activity history. Order3 agents work inside those records. They can answer questions, recommend reorders, draft POs, prepare count tasks, and explain exceptions because the context is attached to the inventory record.
In your day
Where it fits in the day
A buyer opens the morning queue and sees the work already prepared: three low-stock drafts, one Shopify mismatch, one short receive, and two count tasks. A warehouse lead sees which items need a scan before the next reorder. Finance sees which PO variance is waiting before a bill is matched. The agent prepares the next step, but the team still owns the decision.
Controls
What stays controlled
Order3 explains, recommends, and drafts. Higher-control actions need explicit policy, approval thresholds, and audit history. The line is simple: the system can prepare work, explain why, and route it; a human approves anything that commits spend, changes inventory value, or talks to a supplier.
Agent-native IMS/OMS FAQ
What is an agent-native IMS/OMS?
It is an inventory and order management system designed so agents can read records, detect exceptions, draft work, route approvals, and leave an audit trail. The important part is the record underneath: items, locations, suppliers, orders, permissions, and activity history.
Is this the same as autonomous purchasing?
No. In Order3, agents explain, recommend, and draft. They do not send supplier messages, change on-hand counts, or commit spend without approval. Any future execution mode needs workspace-level policy and action-level controls.
Where do MCP, CLI, and API fit?
They belong on the technical proof path. Buyer pages explain the business work. Developer pages need to show how agents and external systems connect through APIs, permissions, policies, and audit history.
What records does an agent need before it is useful?
At minimum: clean item records, locations, on-hand counts, supplier rules, reorder thresholds or usage history, open orders, and approval owners. Thin records produce thin drafts. The first setup step is cleaning the item, location, and supplier records.
Who is this best for?
Teams that already feel the gap between basic inventory tools and heavy ERP workflows: ecommerce, field service, MRO, data centers, warehouses, manufacturing, and 3PL teams with real exceptions but no appetite for a long rollout.
