Seven agents, each aligned with a team and its responsibilities. They share documents and checks, and each action still has one owner.
Matches a supplier invoice to its purchase order and goods receipt line by line, and holds an invoice that bills above the order price before it is booked.
Compares supplier quotations with the request on cost, specification and delivery, sets aside an offer it cannot compare fairly, and ranks the rest for the buyer.
Follows a purchase from requisition to goods receipt, and ties each mill certificate to the batch that was received.
Works a customer’s request from the first email to the order: recognises the customer, prices the lines from agreed prices, and drafts the reply in the customer’s thread.
Recomputes a freight invoice from the rate agreement, and flags any charge the agreement does not list.
Reads the documents you name with the fields you define, checks each value and shows where it was found, and exports the result.
Researches a spreadsheet of spare parts online and reports each part’s availability and lifecycle, with the pages that state it and up to two alternatives.
Work arrives by email, chat, file or drive. The right agent gathers what it needs from your records and prepares the next step. Once your team approves, it lands in the systems you run.

ERP, email, documents, shared drives, accounting, CRM and master data. Each connection is set up and tested with your team.
Reading the document is where an agent starts, not where it stops. It gathers and checks; your team makes the call.
A customer’s request, a supplier invoice, a delivery note. By email, chat or file.
Customers, prices, orders, receipts and stock, under the rules your team sets.
A clarification, a quotation, an accounting entry or a disputed charge, each linked to its sources.
Nothing is sent or entered until the right person approves it.
From the first email to the final entry, every case stays visible, reviewable and accountable.
Customer emails, supplier requests and system entries wait for a person before they go anywhere.
Each prepared action links to the emails, documents and records it was built from.
Agents share documents and checks, but each action has one owner, so nothing is sent or entered twice.
Who approved what, when, and on which evidence, for every case.
Shape the work around your security and data requirements.
Plan the operating model around your network and residency needs.
What the agents do, where people stay in control, and how an evaluation starts.
Thinking Signal builds AI agents that help manufacturing teams handle quotations, orders and invoices with less manual data entry and checking. Each agent is aligned with a department. Give it a business task and it gathers the emails, documents and records the task needs, checks the details against your rules, and prepares the next action for a person to approve.
Document processing stops once the fields are extracted. Our agents start there. The Sales Order Agent does not just read a request for quotation: it identifies the customer, matches the products, finds missing specifications and prepares either a clarification or a quotation. The documents are the evidence; moving the work forward is the job.
Finance & AP, Procurement & Materials, Sales Order, and Logistics & Freight run in demonstrations today. Sourcing, which prepares supplier RFQs and compares offers, and Data Extraction, which provides configurable extraction for the use cases you define, are in development.
Three-way matching compares an invoice with the purchase order it bills against and the goods receipt that confirms delivery. Quantities, prices and totals must agree within tolerance before the invoice is approved for payment. The Finance & AP Agent performs the match and shows which line fails when the documents do not agree.
The agents read the records those systems hold, such as customers, materials, prices, purchase orders and receipts, and prepare the entries your team approves. Each production connection is configured and tested with your team as a separate step. Demonstrations run against a simulated SAP, so nothing is written to a live ERP during an evaluation.
Yes, by design. Agents prepare and check; your people keep the commercial judgment and the customer and supplier relationships. Every customer email, supplier request and system entry waits for approval, and every approval is recorded with the evidence behind it.
Request a demo and we will walk through an agent on the work your team handles: quotations, orders or invoices. An evaluation can then run on a representative sample of your own emails and documents, with a data processing agreement signed before anything is shared.
