Agentic Order Management

From system of record to system of action.

fulfillmenttools connects inventory, orders and fulfillment across your network — giving both your own AI agents and external systems the operational foundation they need to make better decisions in real time.

How AI evolves in fulfillment

Four pillars of fulfillment intelligence

Commerce is becoming more dynamic, more distributed and more complex. Static rules and fragmented systems can no longer keep up with the pace of modern operations. Every order is a decision, and those decisions must be based on real-time data, operational constraints and changing conditions, not predefined logic that breaks under pressure.

AI in fulfilment doesn't arrive all at once. It evolves from understanding what's happening in your operations to executing decisions across your network, with human involvement at every stage.

Intelligence layer — Understand

Turning operational data into actionable visibility

AI surfaces what is happening across your fulfilment network, making operational data accessible and actionable for teams at every level. Before any decision can be optimised, it must first be understood.

Intelligence layer — Configure

Translating business goals into fulfillment logic

AI supports the definition of fulfilment logic, helping teams translate business goals into routing strategies and operational rules that reflect how the business actually needs to operate.

Intelligence layer — Optimize

Continuously improving decisions across your network

AI improves decisions continuously across routing, inventory distribution and order operations, reducing cost to serve and increasing reliability without constant manual reconfiguration.

Intelligence layer — Execute

Acting autonomously on decisions across the order lifecycle

AI acts on decisions within the scope you define, automating fulfilment processes across your network. Autonomy stays scoped and human-led: you set the level of agent autonomy that fits your operations, backed by audit and policy.

WHO ACTS, WHO ADVISES

We bring intelligence into fulfilment operations

The AI Sidekick advises, our agents act. One interface gives your teams the insights they need, while two named agents make and execute decisions in real time, scoped and human-led. Every action is explainable, logged and reversible.

AI Sidekick

The single entry point to fulfillmenttools AI. It surfaces fulfilment insights and inventory answers in plain language, so your teams decide faster. Backoffice and configuration support come built in as skills, alongside Fulfillment Insights and Inventory Copilot.

Order Routing Agent

Turns your goals, cost, speed, satisfaction and capacity, into real-time sourcing decisions, optimising for cost to serve, margin, capacity utilisation and markdown avoidance, and can explain every one.

Order Monitoring Agent

Watches every order end to end, from capture to handover, and resolves risk to the promise before your customer feels it, by rerouting, substituting, splitting, switching carrier or compensating within scope. Your client advocate for on time in full.

HUMAN-LED BY DESIGN

Autonomy you control, trust you can verify

Human-led, scoped and governed. You set the confidence at which an agent may act on its own. Agents notify by default within scope, ask for approval above a threshold, and co-decide on systemic issues. Every action is logged and reversible.

fulfillmenttools icon

Scoped autonomy

Agentic where it adds value, deterministic where it doesn't. Agents act within boundaries you define, and terminal actions need higher confidence or human confirmation. Autonomy is a setting, not a default.

Explainable and traceable

Every decision comes with its reasoning. The Order Routing Agent can explain every sourcing decision it makes, and every agent action is logged, auditable and reversible. Trust is earned, not assumed.

Control at your pace

Your operations decide how much autonomy makes sense, from reviewing every decision to exception-based oversight backed by audit and policy. The level of agent autonomy is yours to set, and yours to change.

Enable external AI agents to operate on real fulfillment data

External AI agents connect to fulfillmenttools via onX, the open protocol for agent-to-OMS communication, built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and established by the Commerce Operations Foundation. Through onX, agents access real-time inventory, products and fulfilment data, and act through the OMS, because agents choose the systems that let them succeed. The result is a reliable agent experience and an operational foundation for agentic commerce support, from customer-built agents to ecosystem provider agents.

What is an Agentic OMS and how is it different from a traditional OMS?

An Agentic OMS connects fulfilment operations with AI-driven decision-making: named agents act on order routing and order monitoring, scoped and human-led, while external agents access real-time fulfilment data via onX. fulfillmenttools is built from the ground up for this model: not AI added on top of an existing system, but intelligence embedded into the operational foundation itself.

Internal AI

What are the internal AI agents and what do they do?

fulfillmenttools offers one copilot and two acting agents. The fulfillmenttools AI Sidekick is the single entry point to fulfillmenttools AI: it surfaces fulfilment insights and inventory answers in plain language, so your teams decide faster. The Order Routing Agent turns your goals into real-time sourcing decisions and can explain every one. The Order Monitoring Agent watches every order end to end and resolves risk within scope, your client advocate for on time in full. Both agents act scoped and human-led: they notify by default, ask for approval above a threshold, and co-decide on systemic issues.

External AI

How do external AI agents connect to fulfillmenttools?

External AI agents connect via onX, the open protocol for agent-to-OMS communication, built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and established by the Commerce Operations Foundation, of which fulfillmenttools is a founding member. With onX, external systems gain real-time access to inventory availability, delivery promises, fulfilment options and live order data: the operational foundation on which context-aware AI decisions depend.

Product and platform

Do I need to replace my existing systems to use AI in fulfillmenttools?

No. fulfillmenttools is API-first and MACH-certified, designed to integrate with your existing commerce stack without disrupting it. External AI agents connect via onX alongside your current systems. Internal agents operate within fulfillmenttools and can be activated progressively as your operations are ready for them.

Integration time

How quickly can we get started?

fulfillmenttools is built for fast implementation. Enterprise retailers are typically up and running in 9 weeks. Our team works with you from day one to configure fulfillmenttools, connect your systems, and activate the right level of AI for your current operational maturity.
