You approve
Anything under your confidence bar waits for a human.
A DeskFerry agent watches for the triggers specific to Beauty & Salon inventory, 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 predicts stock needs based on historical data, seasonality, and market trends. Teams typically see materially lower via predictive reorder 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.

Use cases
How teams put this to work
Scenario 01
Peak-Volume Handling
During seasonal surges or campaign launches, AI absorbs the spike in inventory volume without delays, backlogs, or overtime costs for your Beauty & Salon team.
Scenario 02
Cross-Team Coordination
AI keeps inventory synchronized across departments — routing outputs to the right stakeholders automatically and eliminating hand-off delays.
Scenario 03
After-Hours Coverage
When your Beauty & Salon team logs off, the AI agent continues processing inventory overnight, so the next workday starts with a clean queue.
SKU-2841 (Black tee, M): 18 units → reorder 200.
Fields extracted and validated; assignee notified in Slack.
Held for review — one value fell under your confidence bar.
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.
