Dowel AI

AI that runs on your ledger, not beside it

Dowel's AI reads the same records your team does, with the permissions of the person asking. It answers questions, reads your documents, finds what changed overnight and drafts the next purchase order, then waits for a person to approve anything that spends money.

Dowel Assistant

Ask in plain words, get the answer and the record

The assistant knows your products, vendors, stock, orders and margins, because it reads them from the ledger. Every answer shows where it came from, and anything it drafts opens in the app for you to finish.

Questions teams ask
Which orders are late, and from whom?
What did the wireless pad earn us this quarter?
What runs out before the next container lands?
Which prices went up this month?
How much stock is waiting at the Shenzhen dock?
Insights

What changed overnight, found for you

Every morning Dowel reads what moved: prices that rose, orders that slipped, margins that drifted, shipments that could have gone cheaper. Each insight says why it matters and what to do next.

  • Price rises caught before you pay them
  • Late vendors named, with the orders they hold up
  • Margin drift traced to the invoices behind it

Automated purchasing

Purchase orders that draft themselves

Dowel weighs what you sell, what you hold, what is already on the way and how long each vendor takes, then drafts the orders you will need, one per vendor. You review, adjust and approve. Nothing is ordered until you do.

  • Drafts by vendor, with the reason for every line
  • Minimums, lead times and stock on the way respected
  • Your approval rules apply, as they do to your team

Powerful, and still yours to control

AI in an ERP touches money and stock. These rules hold for every question, draft and action.

Your permissions, nothing more

The AI sees and does only what the person asking is allowed to.

People approve money

Drafts wait for a person. Nothing is ordered, paid or sent on its own.

Every action recorded

What the AI read, drafted or changed is in the history, with who asked.

Never trained on your data

Your records answer your questions. They are not used to train models.

Sources shown

Answers link to the orders, transfers and invoices they came from.
