Audit outcomes.

Where your data lands.

The AI extracts specific details from Odoo so you can verify them immediately.

COSTS

Total spend verification

The AI pulls the total cost and tax details from specific orders. You can quickly see if an invoice matches what was actually ordered.

QUANTITY

Line item checks

Your agent retrieves the exact quantities for every item on a PO. This makes it easy to spot if a vendor shipped less than requested.

VENDORS

Supplier info retrieval

Get immediate access to vendor contact details and terms tied to a specific order. It removes the need to hunt through Odoo menus.

HUMAN

Discrepancy resolution

The AI flags the mismatch, but you decide whether to contact the vendor or adjust the record. It handles the data gathering so you can make the call.

The workflow

What your AI does when the order arrives.

The AI acts as a data bridge between your Odoo instance and your chat interface.

  1. Locate the order

    Your agent finds the specific purchase order you're looking for using its ID or reference number.
