Frequently Asked Questions
How does the supply chain squad decide when to re-route a purchase order?
The agent continuously cross-references carrier transit updates against your safety stock days-of-inventory threshold. If a delay risks an out-of-stock event on top-velocity SKUs, it evaluates pre-authorized secondary vendor catalogs and issues alternate POs within defined pricing limits.
What logistics protocols and ERP systems does ZexAgent support?
ZexAgent supports EDI standards (850, 856, 810, 214), NetSuite Logistics, SAP SCM, Shopify Plus, ShipStation, Flexport APIs, and major global carrier tracking webhooks.
Can human procurement officers review large supplier orders before dispatch?
Yes. You can establish spending thresholds (for example, any PO exceeding $20,000 or 15% price variance above baseline) that automatically require approval from designated procurement leads.
