From client balance received to variances explained — before it becomes a dispute

01 Observe

A client inventory balance report arrives

Your MAH client sends its inventory balance report for the material you hold over the TraceLink network, the same way they do today.

MINT standardizes and validates it in real time — alongside your own site balance report for the same material. One link to the network, not one spreadsheet per client.

Integrate-Once™: client and format changes are absorbed by the network, not by your backlog.

The balance report triggers the agent — no one starts it
02 Reason

The agent analyzes

The moment a client balance report arrives, the agent starts. No one assigns it.

Four checks compare what your MAH client has on record with what you hold at your site. Your client reports; you reconcile against your own site record.

Do the quantities agree? Checked against your site balance for the same material, supplier, and lot, including the movements you posted since your client’s last report. Is it where your client thinks it is? Checked against the storage location on your site record, so a pallet you moved does not show up as missing on your client’s side. Who owns it? Checked against ownership on your record and your client’s, so consigned and client-owned stock are never confused. Is the status the same? Checked against released, quarantine, and blocked status on your record and your client’s, so neither side plans against stock that cannot be used.
Every report is reconciled, not a sample — and always before the month-end call.

03 Act

The work is performed

The agent can start a shared process collaboration: it brings its evidence, your inventory controller owns the decision, and the client answers in the same thread. One process running across two companies — not an email chain that ends in someone's inbox.

The agent raises the inventory incident, attaches both balance lines and the movement history, and proposes the correction. The inventory controller owns the exception, decides which record is right, and speaks for your company. The client responds in the same process, on the network — no portal to log into, no re-keying.
The client's answer comes back onto the balance, so the stock position your team confirms next is based on a settled fact rather than an assumption.

Decisions that drive business outcomes

Every result the agent produces — reconciled, variance, or missing records — lands in the log with its evidence attached. A person makes the call and corrects the record.

It recommends. People decide. The agent never adjusts a balance, changes an inventory status, or moves stock. It reads. It never changes your data. It works from balance reports already flowing over your network link. Your WMS and ERP stay the systems of record. Everything is on the record. Every recommendation, its evidence, and the decision that followed are written to the Manufacturing Inventory Reconciliation Decision Log — reproducible for an auditor months later.
Captured decisions become the intelligence your experts use to refine the agent’s rules.

Everything the solution includes

This is a complete Agentic Business Process — the agent, the business transactions it reasons over, the collaborative processes that resolve exceptions across companies, and the visibility to run it all.

Client Inventory Reconciliation Monitor The governed OPUS Agent, defined in business language by your team through IOTDR.
Business transactions CMO and MAH inventory balance reports standardized across every client.
Collaborative processes Cross-company inventory incident workflows for resolving variances, plus the decision log.
Agentic Control Tower Where materials management teams monitor process health, prioritize variances, and review agent sessions.
Reports & dashboards Real-time visibility of client-owned stock by material, lot, location, ownership, and status.

Value that compounds with every balance report

100% Of client balance lines reconciled on every report, not at period end
50–70% Less reconciliation effort per client
~90% Fewer client stock disputes reaching the account team
1 record Of ownership, location, quantity, and status agreed with every client

Target ranges for the Client Inventory Reconciliation Monitor, pending your business value analysis. Your figures are baselined against your own transaction data during the Agentic Accelerator Program, so the business case is demonstrated against your own operation.

One agent. A complete operating model behind it.

The Client Inventory Reconciliation Monitor is the Agentic Supply Chain Operating Model in action — one governed OPUS Agent within the transformation TraceLink powers, where human expertise and agentic work combine across the end-to-end supply network.

Every layer is configured around your own operating model, business rules, and standard operating procedures. No custom software development.

01 Agentic Supply Chain Operating Model The transformation itself: a way of running supply chain operations where human teams and governed OPUS Agents work together across the end-to-end supply chain.
02 Agentic Supply Chain Operating System The software foundation that powers the operating model. Powered by the OPUS Platform, it is where you create, deploy, govern, and scale specialized OPUS Agents that work alongside your people.
03 Agentic Business Processes The work model: human teams and governed OPUS Agents performing operational work together through shared objectives, rules, and measurable outcomes. Inventory Visibility & Control for the CMO is one of many.
04 Agentic Control Towers The intelligence environment: the knowledge, reasoning, and operational context humans and OPUS Agents use to monitor, manage, decide, and perform work in real time.
05 Integrate-Once™ Agentic Business Network The governed multienterprise foundation: link once to the network and exchange trusted business transactions with every trading partner — no point-to-point integrations.

Three ways to get here. One is already built.

The AI models are available to everyone. The difference is where the agent's evidence and governance come from — and who has to build and maintain them.

Path one Build it in-house Point-to-point integrations to every trading partner have to exist before the agent can see a single balance report — built and funded by you alone. Governance, audit trails, and validation for a regulated supply chain are designed from scratch. Every partner change, format change, and policy change lands on your team’s backlog — permanently. Years of platform work before the first balance report is reconciled.
Path two A general AI platform Strong models and tooling — but no knowledge of your industry’s transactions, partners, or processes. Cross-company data is still sourced, mapped, and maintained integration by integration. Governance is a consulting engagement: scope, rules, and audit design built for you over time. A platform to build on — the supply chain part is still your project.
The TraceLink path Agentic Business Process The network already exists: 315,000+ authenticated businesses, 339,000+ active supply chain links, hundreds of billions of annual supply chain exchanges, one Integrate-Once™ link. Governance is native — scope, rules, guardrails, and decision logs on trusted, certified infrastructure (ISO/IEC 42001:2023 for AI management systems, ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II) built for regulated supply chains. The agent is purpose-built for this process and defined in business language — configuration, not code. Proven against your own balance reports through the Agentic Accelerator Program — before you deploy.

The Agentic Accelerator Program

A structured path from discovery to production. Each stage has a clear owner and exit criteria: we define the agent with your team, quantify the value against your own transaction data, and demonstrate the transformed process end to end — so the deployment decision is grounded in evidence from your own operation.

01 Agent Definition Configure the agent’s profile, business logic, and workflows against the approved blueprint.
02 Business Value Analysis Quantify KPI impact, operational gains, and ROI against your own transaction data.
03 Proof of Value The working agent performs the transformed process end to end, in front of your team.
04 Proposal Deployment recommendation, scope, roadmap, and an outcome-based commercial model.
05 Deployment Production at scale, across your full trading-partner network.

Your network is the reason you can act now

If you exchange inventory balance reports with your MAH clients on the TraceLink network, the foundation is largely in place. Your existing trading-partner relationships, live transaction flows, and network readiness are what make this deployable now.

We will show you which transactions are already live across your own trading partners, and exactly what closing any gap takes.
