This workflow eliminates the costly lag between inventory alerts and procurement action. When a WMS like SAP EWM signals low stock or obsolescence, an orchestrator triggers a sourcing agent to evaluate lead times, costs, and supplier risk. The agent initiates RFQs or releases blanket POs via API, feeding confirmed costs and timelines back into the inventory optimization model. This closes the loop, turning reactive stock-outs into proactive capacity management, directly reducing safety stock requirements and preventing production stoppages.
