Inventory planning takes up a large part of a merchandiser’s task list. It is also central to the fashion supply chain, because it shapes both upstream and downstream decisions. What if an agent could do more than forecast demand, and also recommend where stock should move? That is what we built with an inventory leveling agent for a US fashion brand. In today’s blog, we walk through the use case: the business problem, the agent and its capabilities, and how it addresses common inventory challenges.

One of Fortude’s latest AI agents, the Order Capture Agent, was presented at @Infor Community Hackathon 2026 during Velocity Week this month.

Designed to address a common business challenge, manual order entry, the solution combines Robotic Process Automation (RPA), intelligent document processing, and generative AI. By catching errors and exceptions before orders reach your ERP, it can help teams reduce downstream rework, improve fulfilment efficiency, and scale order processing with greater confidence.
