Trade Management Assurance Agent

The work it takes off your plate

The Trade Management Assurance Agent tackles the challenges of inconsistent execution of trade management processes, which can lead to missed sales opportunities and revenue loss. By ensuring that all trade management activities are performed effectively, it reduces the risk of errors and enhances overall sales performance.

How it works

The Trade Management Assurance Agent ingests trade requests, customer and product master data, pricing records, approval policies, and execution history to evaluate whether each transaction follows approved procedures. It extracts key terms, validates counterparties, products, quantities, prices, dates, and compliance requirements, then compares execution against standardized controls. The agent identifies missing information, pricing deviations, approval gaps, and process exceptions, assigns risk and priority scores, and routes corrective actions to the appropriate owners. It continuously monitors resolution status and performance metrics, using user feedback and completed trade outcomes to refine controls and highlight recurring process weaknesses.
