How mission-critical IBM AS/400 systems are connected to the IRIS Core AI cognitive layer, adding reasoning and traceability without replacing what already works.

AI that protects margin in every negotiation across B2B and multi-branch networks: dynamic recommendations, below-cost blocks and governed discounts.

Balance stock across the network, cut ineffective shuttle transfers by up to 30% and prevent stock-outs, with every move approved by a manager.

Track B2B market price changes, anticipate supplier dynamics and keep your price list competitive without eroding margin.
