How does Anthropic (Claude) work for retail teams?
Anthropic (Claude) works for retail teams as the engine behind a DeskFerry agent built around the workflows that actually consume your week.
- 01

- 02

You approve
Setup is no-code, every action is auditable, and the agent is scoped to the rules your retail team defines — not a generic template applied to your business.
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.
