USE CASES

High-ROI Use Cases in Manufacturing

ERP and VMS keep margins tight—but most teams still key in data, chase exceptions, and reconcile by hand. The cost is cycle time, cash flow, and customer experience.

Supplier Registration, Validation & Risk

  • Collect supplier data from emails/portals; normalize and validate against risk/compliance sources.
  • Create/maintain vendor records and approvals in ERP; document trail for audits.

Proof: Norco scaled multi-process automation across Finance, HR, Sales, and Production—reducing back-office drag while supporting 700+ factory workers.

Invoice Processing & GR/IR Reconciliation

  • Post to Oracle/SAP/Epicor with full audit, early-pay discount checks.

Customer Order Entry & Validation (Order-to-Cash)

  • Parse orders from emails/CSVs/PDF scans; validate pricing, availability, and terms against ERP master data.
  • Create sales orders automatically; flag anomalies to CSRs with clear rationales.

Proof: Norco automated sales order entry and AR pack-slip processing in Epicor, moving "Accounts Receivable in Days" and improving working capital.

Collections & AR Dunning

  • Identify overdue accounts; personalize reminders and dunning sequences.
  • Route strategic accounts to reps; track promises-to-pay; update ERP automatically.

Proof: Norco's AR automations free SMEs to handle exceptions while AI manages routine follow-ups—cutting cycle times from weeks to days.

Supplier Compliance Certificate Verification

  • Track expirations, validate renewals, and file evidence automatically.
  • Alert procurement & compliance before gaps hit production.

How It Works

Describe the Process, Trust the Process.

Kognitos makes powerful automation safe and simple. Business users describe the process; the platform executes in your ERP and learns from exceptions, without breaking down.
  1. 1. Document in English

    Simply input your process, upload an SOP, or talk it through. Kognitos ingests and understands your natural language to lay out the detailed steps in your process.

  2. 2. Generate AI Agent

    Our neurosymbolic AI interprets the logic and reasoning of your process to create a fully functional, hallucination-free AI agent that executes tasks precisely as described.

    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Donec odio. Quisque volutpat mattis eros. Nullam malesuada erat ut turpis. Lorem ispum dolor sit amet.

  3. 3. Refine & Improve

    When exceptions occur, the system pulls in human guidance and learns. The patented Process Refinement Engine keeps your automation perfectly aligned with your evolving business needs, slashing maintenance.

FAQs

Objections, Answered

Does Kognitos work with my ERP?
Yes—live with Oracle Fusion, SAP, Epicor, NetSuite, and Microsoft Dynamics across multiple customers.
How fast can we see value?
Customers report weeks, not quarters. Examples: JBI's AP hours saved within initial rollout; TTX reduced finance labor and cycle times quickly with Oracle Fusion.
Will this overwhelm IT?

No. Business users describe the workflow in English; IT governs integration and controls. Norco purposely avoided heavy IT lift and extensive training.

How does Kognitos ensure it operates safely and securely within its intended boundaries?

Security and control are paramount. By automating processes within a secure, governed framework, Kognitos minimizes the risks associated with manual errors and unauthorized actions. It operates strictly within the business and security protocols you define, using your existing systems and applications as a human user would. This ensures Kognitos is a predictable, safe, and compliant partner in your operations, focused on enhancing security and finding ethical efficiencies, not creating chaos.
