Olligents AI agents work together across your existing systems to tackle the everyday supply chain issues where value is lost. They take action on routine exceptions, while bringing the critical decisions to your team’s attention. Built on Oliver Wight’s business process expertise, they’re straightforward to implement and designed to deliver benefits quickly.
We created Olligents to close the execution capacity gap.
More exceptions. More information. More decisions. Your business needs to respond, but your people’s time is limited.
We created Olligents to help close that gap. Specialist assistants monitor changing conditions and take agreed action, supported by business experts who understand your processes, priorities and people.

How it works
A new team member. A supported introduction.
Think of an Olligents agent as a specialist digital assistant working alongside your team. Each has a clear role: managing a particular area of your operations, identifying issues and taking action within the authority you have agreed.
Using your systems and data, it assesses options and acts on your priorities. Decisions needing human judgement come to the right person with a recommendation. It keeps you informed and tracks operational performance and financial benefits.
Everyday challenges. Practical action.

Abnormal demand arrives
Solution
Your Demand Manager Assistant checks an abnormal order against customer commitments, budgets and capacity. It acts within agreed limits and brings decisions to your team when needed.
Problem
Inventory approaches expiry
Solution
Your Inventory Manager Assistant identifies stock at risk of going unsold. Within its agreed authority, it adjusts production and safety stock settings, alerting your team before products expire.
Problem
A customer order is at risk
Solution
Your Customer Service Assistant spots a supply scheduling issue and identifies affected orders. It assesses options against customer service, stock levels and production costs, then acts within its delegated authority.

01
Demand Manager Assistant
Keeping short-term demand changes from becoming bigger problems.
Monitors abnormal orders, unexpected customer orders and unusual demand patterns or timing in real time. Resolves issues within its agreed authority, only bringing decisions that need human judgement to your team.
02
Inventory Manager Assistant
Keeping stock available while protecting working capital.
Monitors shortages and excess stock across locations. Recommends stock movements and carries out authorised actions to balance availability with working capital, referring decisions outside agreed limits to your team. Can also be configured to support inventory policy and the management of slow-moving and obsolete finished goods.
03
Customer Service Assistant
Keeping customer commitments on track.
Continuously checks what can be delivered and when, identifying orders at risk. Within its agreed authority, it resolves issues by reprioritising orders, reallocating stock, splitting orders or arranging shipment from another location, balancing service, margin, lead time and cost. Decisions outside those limits come to your team. Can also be configured to help prevent conflicts through Available-to-Promise (ATP) and Capable-to-Promise (CTP) processes.
04
Material Manager Assistant
Keeping materials flowing and production on track.
Monitors material requirements against incoming orders and identifies potential challenges early. Within its agreed authority, it can expedite orders, adjust transport arrangements, source materials from alternative locations or switch suppliers to help keep production moving. Decisions outside those limits come to your team.
05
Warehouse Manager Assistant
Helping your team match warehouse capacity to workload.
Monitors planned activity and available labour to help your team prepare for the work ahead. Recommends and carries out authorised staffing and shift adjustments to match capacity to demand, bringing changes beyond its agreed authority to your team for approval.

Reviews planned shipments and dynamically combines loads or adjusts transport arrangements within its agreed authority. Balances cost, delivery and service needs, referring changes outside agreed limits to your team for approval.
Your journey
Working with us
Your business comes first.
We start with your operations, not a technology checklist. Together, we identify where assistants can help, prove their value and develop their responsibilities as confidence grows.
Introduction
Find the right starting point.
We assess your people, processes and tools to understand your challenges and identify opportunities. You see assistants in action, agree their initial job descriptions and shape an implementation roadmap with expected benefits.
Practical workshops define each assistant’s role, human owner, authority and measures of success. We test its decisions using your data in a proof of concept, then connect and validate it against agreed data sources when you’re ready.
Evolution
Build confidence. Extend responsibility.
Performance is measured against agreed targets. As evidence and trust build, you decide whether to increase each assistant’s authority. Human oversight remains appropriate to the role, and additional assistants are introduced in line with your roadmap.
