AI for supply businessesLima, Ohio & Allen County

AI for the counter during the busiest six weeks of the year.

Availability, delivery scheduling, and account questions — answered on your line so your people can keep loading trucks.

How the work actually goes

A few weeks a year demand triples and the staff doesn't. The calls are short, repetitive, and they land on whoever is already loading a truck.

A farm supply business has a few weeks a year where demand triples and the staff does not. The calls are short and repetitive, and they all land on the person already loading a truck.

We put AI on the repetitive layer: an agent that answers your line with availability and hours, a searchable memory of products and past orders, and a simple way to schedule and track deliveries.

In season the phone and the counter both need the same two people.

Delivery scheduling and pickup coordination happen on paper and in memory.

Product questions repeat all day and always land on whoever is busiest.

The numbers

What the research says about businesses like yours

Published studies, not our marketing. Every source is linked.

60–70%Most of the working day is made of work that doesn't need a human.

Today's AI can technically automate the activities that absorb 60 to 70% of employees' time — a jump from the 50% estimate before generative AI arrived.

McKinsey Global Institute, 2023"The economic potential of generative AI," analysis across 63 use cases
Answering within the hour is worth about seven times as much as answering later.

Businesses that got back to a new inquiry within an hour were nearly seven times more likely to qualify that lead than businesses that responded even an hour after that — and more than sixty times more likely than the ones who waited a day.

Harvard Business Review, 2011Audit of 2,241 U.S. companies' response times
~60%This is no longer early. Your competitors are already doing it.

Close to 60% of U.S. small businesses now say they use AI in day-to-day operations, and 77% of those say limits on it would hurt their growth.

100×Five minutes versus thirty is the difference between reaching someone and missing them.

Responding to a new inquiry within five minutes made contact 100 times more likely than waiting thirty minutes, and made the lead 21 times more likely to enter the sales process at all.

Everything we build

Every service, and what it changes for supply businesses

Start with one. The ones marked below are where most supply businesses see the fastest return — but they all work on the same operation.

Start here

Phone Agent

The counter stops answering the phone

Hours, availability, delivery timing, and account questions handled on your line so your people can keep loading.

  • Callers hear a friendly greeting in your voice, day or night
  • New leads are captured with name, number, and what they need
  • Every call shows up as a transcript you can read later
$149/mo + $1,000 one-timeHow it works
Start here

Second Brain

Product and order history, searchable

What that customer bought last spring, what rate you recommended, which vendor stocks it — answered instead of looked up.

  • Stop digging through folders and old emails to find one detail
  • Ask in plain words and get an answer in seconds
  • Trust every answer because it shows the document it came from

Custom CRM

Deliveries and accounts, tracked

What's scheduled, what's loaded, who's picking up, and which accounts are due — instead of paper and memory.

  • Stop losing leads in spreadsheets, sticky notes, and inboxes
  • See every deal and where it stands at a glance
  • Built to match your steps, so your team actually uses it
$2,000 one-time + $1,000/yrHow it works

Website

Hours, lines, and delivery area

The three things every caller wants. On the page, they stop being phone calls.

  • Loads fast and looks right on every phone
  • Edit your own pages by clicking or speaking, no tech skills
  • Stays current because you change it the moment something changes
$500–$1,500 one-timeHow it works

Automated Social Media

Seasonal timing, posted

Seed arriving, fall fertilizer, feed pricing — timely posts reach customers before they call around.

  • You stay active online without writing a single post yourself
  • Posts sound like you, not like a generic ad
  • A steady schedule keeps you in front of local customers
$400–$800/moHow it works

Outbound Caller

Pre-season orders, secured

Booking orders ahead is better for you and them. The agent works the list while there's still time to plan inventory.

  • Old leads get followed up instead of quietly going cold
  • Every call opens with what that person actually cared about
  • Common objections get handled instead of ending the call

Cold Email Pipeline

Operations in your delivery radius

Growth means farms that buy somewhere else today. We repair deliverability so the outreach actually arrives.

  • Deliverability problems get found and fixed, not guessed at
  • Your mailboxes get warmed to full sending capacity
  • Your data flows into your sending tool automatically

Delivery routing and account tools

The rest of what we build

Delivery scheduling, bulk order tracking, account terms — built around a business with a hard six-week peak.

Frequently asked questions

Our customers know us personally. Will this feel impersonal?+

It is your line, your business name, and your way of talking. The alternative is a ringing phone nobody can pick up, which feels worse.

Can it schedule a delivery?+

It can collect everything a delivery needs — who, where, what, when — and put it on your board. What requires judgment still goes to a person.

Does it work in the off-season too?+

Yes, and that is when most of the record and follow-up value shows up.

The counter stops being the bottleneck in season.
