You're constantly switching tabs to check if a shipment is on time, hunting for part specifications in a spreadsheet, or manually updating milestones because a supplier hit a snag. It's a lot of context-switching that eats up your day. With this Connector, you can just ask your AI agent for what you need. Instead of digging through an ERP dashboard, you can get a status update on a specific purchase order or find out which supplier provides a certain component in seconds. You can even tell your agent to mark a production milestone as delayed or confirmed right from the chat window. It puts your entire procurement workflow into one place. By using this through the Vinkius catalog, you're connecting your live Anvyl data to your everyday AI workflow, which means you spend less time on data entry and more time actually moving the needle on your production goals. ## Tools ### list_purchase_orders Get a high-level list of all purchase orders for your team.
