Enterprise AI
for CPG
Where planning, plant and trade turn into finished work, end to end.
Supply and demand planning
Shorts, overrides and the call to the co-packer before the system flags it. Remembered, and written as the SOP.
Plant and quality
What the best shift does on changeovers and holds, learned from how they work. Cited from the line, the QA log and the shift notes.
Trade and claims
Deductions matched against the trade plan and the contract. The ones worth disputing found before the month closes, handed to a person.
What changes
Three things a brand gets back.
- 01Fewer shorts to key retailers
Stockouts traced to the SKU, the plant and the override that caused them. The planner’s fix becomes the procedure.
- 02Hours back to planners
The questions that took a day of emails answered in minutes, cited from the ERP, the portals and the mail. Planners plan.
- 03Deductions caught before close
Retailer deductions matched against the trade plan every week, not at quarter end. A person signs off on every dispute.
Ask the record
Questions a brand could never ask the ERP. Now you can.
Answered from your ERP, your plants, your retailer portals, your mail and the way your best people work. Cited, and handed to a person to decide.
Sources of truth
The record is already in your plants.
ERP, planning, MES, quality, retailer portals, the trade plan in Drive and the thread in mail, read together with the access you already grant. Read-only. A new source takes days.
What the forward-deployed agent learns
Your best planner’s call, written down.
Observe watches how the work actually runs across the ERP, the planning tools, the co-packer calls and the judgement calls on the line. It writes the SOPs. One person reviews.
- Switched on in the open. Visible to everyone from day 0.
- Watches how the work actually runs, not what the manual says.
- Writes the SOPs. One person reviews before it becomes the way.

Why Karez for consumer packaged goods
Built for brands that run on judgement, not just forecasts.
Your people’s methods, kept
The planner who calls Tuesday, the lead who stages early. Observe learns it, the record keeps it, the agents run it.
In your cloud, read-only
Your AWS, Google Cloud or Azure account. Your model keys. Nothing leaves, and every read is logged.
A person signs off
Every dispute, every SOP, every override waits for a named reviewer. Agents run the repetitive work, people decide.
Days, not a quarter
Sources on day 0. SKUs and deductions mapped in week 1. First brief and SOP drafts with a reviewer in week 2.
Before the first call
Questions we get from packaged goods.
From supply chain, plant and finance leaders, before they book time.
Ask one yourselfWhich ERP, planning and plant systems does it read?
Any system you can grant read access to: SAP, Blue Yonder, Kinaxis, your MES and quality systems, retailer portals, your warehouse and your mail. A new source takes days, with the permissions you already have.
Does it replace planners or shift leads?
No. It learns how your best ones work and writes it down, so every plant runs that way. Agents take the repetitive steps. People take the calls that need judgement.
What does the forward-deployed agent watch on a line?
How the work gets done: the ERP and MES screens, the retailer portals, the co-packer calls and the judgement calls on the floor, switched on in the open. It writes processes and SOPs, never scores a person, and every output goes to a reviewer.
How fast to the first deductions brief?
