From order received to decision ready — before your team sits down

01 Observe

An order arrives

A customer sends you a purchase order over the TraceLink network, the same way they do today.

MINT standardizes and validates it in real time — along with the invoice and the supporting documents the agent will need. One link to the network, not one integration per partner.

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

The agent analyzes

On its defined schedule, the agent picks up every new purchase order and starts. No one assigns it.

Four checks stop revenue leakage before it ships, each answered from transactions you already exchange with your trading partners.

Is the price right? Checked against the approved price for that customer on that date, and any authorized variance. Is the quantity normal? Checked against how much this customer usually buys, and the approved tier. Can you supply it? Checked against allocation, inventory balance, and what has already shipped. Is it a duplicate? Checked against recent orders, so nothing ships or invoices twice.
Every order is evaluated, not a sample — and always before the morning release.

The work is performed

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

The agent raises the incident, attaches the contract reference and price history, and proposes the correction. The order manager owns the exception, decides what to hold, and speaks for your company. The supplier responds in the same process, on the network — no portal to log into, no re-keying.
The partner's answer comes back onto the order, so the decision your team makes next is based on a settled fact rather than an assumption.

Decisions that drive business outcomes

Every recommendation the agent makes — accept, reject, or investigate — lands in the log with its evidence attached. A person makes the call and sends the response to the customer.

It recommends. People decide. The agent never accepts an order, responds to a customer, or makes a commitment. It reads. It never changes your data. It works from documents already flowing over your network link. Nothing changes in your ERP. Everything is on the record. Every recommendation, its evidence, and the decision that followed are written to the Order Validation Decision Log — reproducible for an auditor months later.
Captured decisions become the intelligence your experts use to refine the agent’s rules.

Manage all agentic activity in one place

The Agentic Control Tower is the working surface for your agentic workforce: process health, the exception queue, agent sessions to review. Reports and dashboards turn that activity into data you use to tune where agents run and what they handle.

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.

Order Validation Specialist The governed OPUS Agent, defined in business language by your team.
Business transactions Order, pricing, forecast, and shipment documents standardized across every partner.
Collaborative processes Cross-company workflows for resolving exceptions, plus the decision log.
Agentic Control Tower Where teams monitor process health, prioritize exceptions, and review agent sessions.
Reports & dashboards Real-time Order-to-Cash visibility, from PO received through remittance.

Value that compounds with every order

~80% Lower cost to process each PO line — $4.20 down to $0.80
30–60% Shorter order and exception cycle times
2–4× Human productivity — teams focus on exceptions and strategy
20–40% Better decision quality, applied consistently on every order

Ranges from TraceLink’s Order-to-Cash 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 Order Validation Specialist 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. Order-to-Cash 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 order — 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 order is validated.
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 orders 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.
