Distribution

OSRs in the truck. Inside sales on the hard quotes. Purchasing on the phone with the vendor that’s late.

How it runs now

  • Most routes are habit. The house account that went quiet sits. The quote due Friday never made the windshield card.
  • Inside sales opens the inbox at 7 and starts re-keying. The estimator already sent it to three other houses.
  • Purchasing is still on last month’s min-max. North branch is already out of the breaker everyone is asking for.

What Bruce does

  • Outside sales

    Bruce builds the day. Who to see, why, and what happened last time they were in — open quotes, last buy, the complaint. The OSR talks to the customer. On the way out they talk to Bruce. CRM and the follow-up are done before the truck starts.

  • Inside sales

    A quote hits the inbox. Bruce prices it, checks stock, and sends it if it’s clean. Substitution or under the floor sits in drafts for the ISR.

  • Purchasing

    The list is there before they sit down. What’s going to stock out, which PO is aging, what to leave alone. They place the buy. They don’t build the report.

  • Support

    The counter call and the “where’s my order” email. Bruce already knows if it shipped. They don’t open three screens.

  • Collections

    What’s aging, who to call, what they last said. The write-off waits.

Keystone. Line 18 is under the floor. The rest is ready. Don’t let 18 go with a guess.

1187 is still aging. I drafted the vendor note. The alternate buy is held.

Start with the function that hurts

Same agents as Solutions. These are the ones this week uses.

Out of the box

What Bruce brings

The difference is what Bruce brings out of the box: a context graph, an execution graph, a feedback and eval layer, built-in enterprise execution, and a control plane.

  1. 01

    Context graph

    The picture of the enterprise stays current — structured and unstructured. Context is added, updated, and dropped when it goes stale. It is not a database we sell. It is the thing that dies in a thread.

  2. 02

    Execution graph

    Intent, then the tools, then a check, then recover, then done. Learned on real workflows. A miss does not kill the run.

  3. 03

    Feedback and evals

    Production traces, human corrections, failures, edge cases. Execution gets sharper from that. We score completion on ESE-1.

  4. 04

    Built-in enterprise execution

    The agents are already built. Role and workflow patterns from real businesses — sales, purchasing, finance, operations. Bruce already knows how that work runs.

  5. 05

    Control plane

    Permissions, approvals, what you can see, the log, and policy. Required if it acts on its own.

Bruce executes the business across the systems you already run. Connect the systems you run. In most cases it is working in under an hour.
