Anything under your confidence bar waits for a human.
A DeskFerry agent watches for the triggers specific to Pest Control workflow, 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. Design complex automation workflows with a visual builder — no developers needed. Teams typically see eliminated across connected systems 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.

How teams put this to work
Scenario 01
Employee Offboarding
When an employee departs, AI triggers access revocation, equipment return, and exit survey workflows across all systems.
Scenario 02
Deal Desk Approvals
Non-standard deals flow through automated approval chains with AI pre-checking against discount policies and margin targets.
Scenario 03

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.
