Anything under your confidence bar waits for a human.
A DeskFerry agent watches for the triggers specific to accounting Order Tracking, pulls the context it needs from your CRM, inbox, calendar and operational systems, and completes each step with the same rules an experienced operator would apply. AI sends shipping updates before customers ask, significantly reducing "where is my order" inquiries. Teams typically see deflected from support queue once the agent is in production. The agent runs on a configurable confidence threshold, escalates edge cases to a human, and writes every action to an audit log you can review at any time.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.

Data-Driven Optimization
AI analyzes patterns across thousands of Order Tracking interactions to surface insights — what works, what fails, and where your accounting team should focus next.

Hi Theresa — you're right, FedEx is showing a 2-day weather delay in Memphis. I've upgraded your order to overnight (no charge) and triggered a $20 credit for the inconvenience. Estimated delivery now Saturday before 10:30 AM.
Customer reports a duplicate charge; refund queued, awaiting confirmation.
Customer asking what's included on the Growth plan vs. Pro.
Human in the loop
Approve before it sends.
Every draft lands in a review queue. You approve, edit, or reject — the agent never acts on its own unless you explicitly turn that on for a workflow you trust.
Governance
Every action, with the reasoning attached.
Each step the agent takes is logged with what it did, why it did it, and which app it touched. Audit-ready, so security and compliance can sign off without backfilling.
