Every time an order comes in from a different channel, you're jumping between tabs to see if the warehouse actually has the item in stock. You're constantly hunting for customer history or trying to figure out why a specific product variant is underperforming. This Connector changes that. By connecting your Afosto Retail Engine to your AI agent, you get a single point of contact for your entire retail stack. You can ask your agent to pull up a list of recent orders from every channel at once or find out exactly how many units of a specific item are sitting in a particular warehouse. It handles the tedious work of data retrieval so you can focus on moving products and keeping customers happy. It's a way to turn your complex inventory and order data into a conversation. Because Vinkius hosts this Connector, you can get it up and running quickly alongside your other tools to keep your operations moving without the usual friction of manual data entry. You stop being a data entry clerk and start being a retail manager again. ## Tools ### list_orders Get a list of recent orders from all your sales channels.

They ask the agent, which uses list_orders to pull the data instantly. ### Verifying stock for a promotion A warehouse lead needs to know if they have enough headphones for a big promotion. The agent uses list_inventory to check multiple hubs and reports the total. ### Resolving a customer complaint A support rep gets a call from a frustrated customer. They ask the agent to find the user's profile using list_customers to see their previous order issues. ### Auditing product pricing An analyst wants to see if a specific product variant is priced correctly everywhere. The agent uses list_products to verify the catalog. ## Benefits - Stop jumping between tabs by using list_orders to see every sale in one place. - Prevent overselling by checking real-time stock with list_inventory across all hubs. - Keep your store consistent by auditing variants and prices with list_products. - Resolve support tickets faster by pulling full purchase histories with list_customers. - Spot trends earlier by asking your agent to summarize sales data from your retail engine. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a conversational interface for your entire e-commerce backend. 1.
