Offsight AI
Ask where material went and update it where you stand.
- Answers where it went. “How much sheathing is left for Tower B, and what consumed the rest?” comes back with the warehouse, the units it was drawn into and the log entries behind them.
- Sees the shortage coming. Ask it to weigh what the build schedule needs this week against what is on hand, and it works across BOMs, open purchase orders and consumption to find the gap while expediting is still an option.
- Drives the console for you. The Assistant can see the dashboard in front of you.
- Writes the reconciliation. The variance between what the BOM called for and what the floor actually consumed, as XLSX or PDF, and the note to the buyer and the production manager that used to be your evening.
