Monitor supply chain risks and disruptions with GPT-4o and Slack alerts

How It Works

This workflow automates end-to-end supply chain visibility and logistics coordination for manufacturers, distributors, and retailers managing complex multi-tier supply networks. Designed for supply chain planners, logistics managers, and operations directors, it solves the challenge of tracking inventory across procurement, warehousing, and transportation while optimizing decisions for cost, speed, and risk mitigation. The system schedules regular data collection from procurement and warehouse/transportation systems, consolidates supply chain data, analyzes patterns through dual AI agents (Signal Monitoring identifies anomalies and trends, Coordination Agent orchestrates optimization decisions), routes findings by risk level (critical/marginal/acceptable), triggers action-specific responses (critical issues send Slack alerts, escalation emails, and compliance audit logs with approval workflows; acceptable conditions generate standard reports), and maintains complete traceability. Organizations achieve 50% reduction in stockouts, optimize logistics costs by 30%, enable proactive disruption management, and maintain real-time visibility across global supply networks.

Setup Steps

1. Connect Schedule Trigger for monitoring frequency
2. Configure procurement system APIs with order and supplier data access credentials
3. Link warehouse management systems (WMS) and transportation platforms (TMS) for inventory and shipment tracking
4. Add AI model API keys to Signal Monitoring and Coordination Agent nodes
5. Define optimization parameters in agent prompts
6. Configure Slack webhooks for critical supply chain alerts to operations teams
7. Set up email credentials for escalation workflows

Prerequisites

Supply chain system API access (ERP, WMS, TMS), AI service accounts.

Use Cases

Inventory optimization across multi-tier networks, predictive stockout prevention

Customization

Modify agent prompts for industry-specific constraints (perishable goods, hazmat regulations)

Benefits

Reduces stockouts by 50% and optimizes logistics costs by 30%
