AI purchasing for Business Central users
Business Central has a planning worksheet and an Azure AI sales forecast, and your buyer still has to work through the worksheet line by line. Lancaster Purchasing does the weekly review in a conversation and hands back a draft purchase order for you to release.
What Business Central does, and what it leaves to your buyer
Reorder policies and planning parameters are tuned item by item, and nobody has time to retune them.
Copilot's agents turn emails into sales orders and vendor invoices into purchase drafts. None of them works out what to buy.
