AI agents for yourphysical goods business
Aperture agents reconcile inventory, coordinate with suppliers, and calculate product costs across your systems, with your team reviewing changes.
Observes work across
Built for the complexity of consumer brands.
Your ERP, planning tools, and reports each hold part of the picture. Your team still has to bring the numbers together, explain the differences, and follow up with suppliers and partners.
Start with one workflow.
Bring the data, decisions, and follow-up for one recurring job into one place. See what needs attention, review the evidence, and approve the next step.

Customer story
Inside our first consumer-brand engagement.
Map the operation
We mapped sales, purchasing, production, and shipping across six systems in two weeks, through dozens of interviews and hundreds of files.
Find the source of the problem
We traced 22 errors to their source cells, including missing item costs and overstated stock. The engagement also identified more than 100 hours a month of manual copying and $500,000 in profit at risk.
Design the fix
We then designed an Excel agent to reconcile stock, calculate item costs, and flag shortages, with the team reviewing and approving each sheet update.
“Aperture helped us go from discovery to fixes in weeks: an agent for forecast imbalance, and a dashboard we check every day.”
Discovery
We follow one workflow across systems, files, and the people who know the rules. Together, we identify the records, decisions, and handoffs an agent needs to understand before it can help.
