The desk runs itself. You still make the calls.
Foreman reads your email and your QuickBooks and runs quoting, purchase orders, inventory, shipping and real margin. All of it on hardware we own in Nashville, so your cost and your customer list never reach an AI company.
- AI runs on hardware we own in Nashville
- No third-party AI provider receives your data
- Foreman drafts. A person sends.
Your day, as it actually runs.
If you buy and sell Cisco switches, routers, transceivers and line cards, this is the loop. Every day.
- A customer emails at 6:40 in the morning: "Do you have 40x WS-C2960X-48FPD-L, and what's your best price?" It lands in the same inbox as the invoices, the spam and the vendor blasts.
- Four questions have to get answered before anyone can quote it. Do we have it. What did we pay. What's it worth today. Who else is selling it and at what price.
- You quote it. They accept. The purchase order comes back as a PDF attachment in whatever format their system spits out, with the PO number buried somewhere on page one.
- If you don't have the part, you go source it. Other dealers, industry listings, whoever picks up the phone.
- You ship it, capture the serial numbers, and invoice it in QuickBooks.
- Underneath all of that, all day: what's late, what's unpaid, and what's still sitting on a vendor's dock.
Miss the email and the deal is gone. Guess at cost and the margin is gone.
The whole operation lives in one or two people's inboxes. Quotes get missed because nobody saw the email. Margin gets guessed because looking up real cost takes ten minutes and there are nine other things on fire. Purchase orders sit in a folder while somebody takes a vacation. The ceiling on the business is how many emails a human can read in a day.
Not a chatbot bolted onto a CRM. The desk itself.
Fourteen surfaces, each doing a job somebody currently does by hand. Full detail on the product page.
Ask it anything about your business. It runs on our hardware.
Live margin on a part. A serial traced back to the vendor and PO it came in on. What that part has actually sold for. A customer's balance. Then it will prepare the quote, the purchase order, the shipping label or the reply for one tap.
Every competitor leads with an assistant. Theirs runs on OpenAI's servers with your customer list in the prompt.
Desk
Every customer thread as a live conversation instead of a mailbox. What's waiting on you, and what's waiting on them.
03Inbox
The whole mailbox inside the product, so working a thread never means alt-tabbing back to Outlook.
04Quoting
Requests grouped by whether you can actually fill them, priced off recent comparable sales and your own markup history.
05Quotes out
It holds the whole negotiation, not just the first number. And it captures the price you lost at.
06Deals
Confirmed orders lifted out of email with the PO number off the PDF, three-way matched, with realized margin.
07Inventory
What's on the shelf, what it cost, what it's worth now, and how long it has been sitting there.
08Purchasing
Purchase orders out to your vendors, tracked until the boxes land.
09Receiving
Receive against the open PO with serial capture and a photo of the actual unit. Returns re-open the serial instead of doubling stock.
10Shipping
Live carrier truth from UPS and FedEx, multi-warehouse ship-from, and customs paperwork that names the importer of record.
11Trade
The Spread Desk. It hunts the market against what you sell fast and what you are low on, and only speaks up when the spread is real.
12Sourcing
Finds the parts you need to buy, with a vendor trust rating built from your own authenticity history with that seller.
13Agents
A fleet of working agents on the desk, each on its own corner of the job. All of them draft-only.
14Autopilot
Automation limits that rise only when a reply type has earned it on its record, and only when a human taps to accept.
—Daily brief
Standing watchers on overdue money, unshipped POs, quiet quotes, counterfeit flags and below-cost pricing. 6pm and 7am.
Counterfeit Cisco is the thing your buyer is actually afraid of.
It is the number one risk in this trade. Today the answer to "how do I know this is genuine?" lives in the owner's head and his reputation. Foreman turns it into an artifact you can hand the customer.
An authenticity verdict
A per-SKU reference library of authentic units and known fakes, checked by barcode, deterministic rules, image comparison and a vision model. The verdict attaches to the serial.
A Record of Origin
Vendor, PO, receive date, authenticity verdict, and the photograph of that exact serial the day it landed. There is a customer-safe version that does not name your supplier.
Pack verify
Serials in the box checked against serials on the order. A unit flagged suspect does not leave the building. Competitors verify barcodes; none of them hold a verdict per unit.
Your cost and your customer list never leave our hardware.
Every other AI product in this trade sends your data to OpenAI, Anthropic or Google to get an answer back. Foreman does not. All AI processing runs on servers Oluri owns and operates in Nashville, Tennessee. Your financial records, your customer list, your pricing and your email are never handed to a third-party AI provider.
For you that is the difference between "my competitor's pricing might be training somebody's model" and "it can't."
Inference runs on machines Oluri owns and operates in a building in Nashville, not on rented capacity in a public cloud.
Connector tokens and credentials are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM under a key specific to your company. Disks are encrypted with AES-256-XTS.
Disconnect any integration whenever you want. Disconnecting QuickBooks revokes the grant at Intuit, not just on our side.
Both of these are decisions, not limitations.
Foreman drafts. A human sends.
It does not email your customers on its own. Every outbound message and every movement of money is approved by a person first. An AI with your customer list and your send button is a bad trade, and we did not take it.
Who sees what is a switch.
Your company chooses: everyone sees everything, which is the default and how most small desks actually work, or each salesperson sees only their own quotes and deals. Owners always see all of it.
Connected in a morning. Useful the same week.
Connect
Your QuickBooks Online company, your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace mailbox, and your UPS and FedEx accounts. All by OAuth or your own credentials. Nothing is copied out to a third party.
Foreman reads the desk
It works through the mail and the books and builds the current picture: open RFQs, live quotes, confirmed POs, what is on the shelf, what it cost, what is in transit.
You set the leash
In Autopilot you decide what it may do on its own and what it must ask about, and you set who on the team can see what. Change it any time.
It runs the loop
New requests get grouped and priced. Quotes get drafted. POs get pulled out of PDFs. Shipments get tracked. What is late or unpaid gets chased. You approve and send.
Mulligan Tech runs their whole desk on it.
Mulligan Tech LLC is a network hardware dealer and Foreman's founding customer. Two people are in it every working day: Steve, who handles sourcing and buying, and Mike, who runs the desk, quoting, purchase orders and shipping. Foreman was built next to their actual business, against real RFQs and real POs, not against a demo dataset.
Let's see if it fits your desk.
Fifteen minutes on the phone and you will know. Tyler answers, and he built the thing, so you will not get handed to a sales engineer.
