A Day in the Life of a Business Leader with Agentic ERP
Jordan Lee, the CFO of a mid-sized manufacturing firm, moves fluidly between meetings, factory floors, and client engagements, using mobile and wearable AI-driven devices. Business intelligence is available at all times so he can make the right decisions at the right time, no matter where he is.
Morning: The First Decision of the Day
7:30 AM — Commuting to Work
Jordan is in a rideshare, reviewing high-level company performance. Instead of sifting through a dense dashboard, Jordan’s receives a morning summary:
“Yesterday’s production output was 7% lower than expected due to a supply chain delay. Three major clients are expecting shipments today. Shall I suggest alternative fulfillment options?”
With a quick voice command, Jordan asks for a recommendation. The AI presents three viable solutions, complete with cost-benefit analysis and estimated client satisfaction impact. Jordan selects the best option and confirms.
Mid-Morning: A Proactive Alert
10:00 AM — On the Factory Floor
Jordan visits the manufacturing floor to check on production. As soon as Jordan approaches a key production unit, he is alerted to a potential equipment issue:
“Heads-up: This machine has a 30% chance of downtime in the next 48 hours based on sensor data. Would you like me to initiate proactive maintenance scheduling?”
Instead of reacting to unexpected breakdowns, Jordan taps ‘Approve’ on the wearable device, triggering a work order to the maintenance team.
Afternoon: A Decision On the Go
1:30 PM — Client Lunch
While wrapping up a client meeting, Jordan’s device vibrates with a new notification:
“Your company’s cash flow projection for Q3 has changed based on new supplier pricing. There is an opportunity to renegotiate a high-volume contract before the market price shifts. Want to review the details?”
Over coffee, Jordan opens the AI-curated summary, which outlines the optimal negotiation strategy. Jordan taps ‘Call Procurement Lead,’ instantly setting up a discussion to lock in the pricing advantage.
Evening: AI that Knows When to Wait
7:00 PM — At Home
Unlike traditional systems that bombard users with notifications, the AI knows when to wait. During dinner, it remains silent. Later, as Jordan unwinds, it checks in:
“Tomorrow’s executive meeting will cover Q3 forecasting. Would you like a 5-minute digest now or a briefing during your morning commute?”
Preferring to relax now, Jordan schedules the digest for tomorrow morning, ensuring preparedness without disruption.
