A purchasing co-op puts 20 AI 'digital direct reports' to work
A restaurant purchasing co-op built 20 AI agents that continuously monitor pricing, commodities, food safety incidents, distributor fill rates and freight. One flags any price change above 5%, and its findings are checked against the co-op's existing data platforms.
Why it matters for directors: The same continuous price-monitoring approach can catch distributor price creep across a multi-site noncommercial program.
