Four connections, and you can see all of them.
Foreman connects to the systems your business already runs on. Each connection below lists exactly what it reads, what it writes, and what happens when you turn it off. Nothing here goes through a third-party AI provider.
- Accounting scope only, no QuickBooks Payments
- Your own carrier accounts
- Disconnect revokes at the source
QuickBooks Online
Connected by OAuth 2.0 from inside Foreman. You sign in to Intuit and authorize the connection for your company; Foreman never sees or stores your QuickBooks password. This is the connection that makes real margin possible, because cost comes off the linked bill instead of a guess.
- Scope requested
com.intuit.quickbooks.accounting
In plain words: reading and writing accounting records.- What Foreman reads
- Invoices, estimates, purchase orders, bills, items and inventory, customers, vendors, and reports. This is what tells Foreman what a part cost you, what you have, who owes you and what is still open.
- What Foreman writes
- Accounting records in the same categories, so a quote your team approves can become an estimate, and a confirmed order can become an invoice, without anyone retyping it. Writes are driven by actions a person on your team takes.
- Scope not requested
- Oluri does not request the QuickBooks Payments scope (
com.intuit.quickbooks.payment). Foreman does not process, store or transmit payment card data, and does not move money. - Where the data goes
- Onto hardware Oluri owns and operates in Nashville, Tennessee. It is not sent to any third-party AI provider and is not used to train any model.
- Disconnecting
- From Settings inside Foreman. Disconnecting revokes the access grant with Intuit, not just on our side. See below.
Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace
Your business mailbox, connected by OAuth. This is where the RFQs, the acceptances and the purchase order PDFs actually arrive, so this is where Foreman does most of its reading.
- What Foreman reads
- Messages in the connected business mailbox, including attachments such as purchase order PDFs, so it can identify requests for quote, extract part numbers and quantities, pull PO numbers off attachments and keep each customer thread current.
- What Foreman writes
- Drafts. Foreman prepares replies for a person to review. It does not send email to your customers on its own. A person on your team approves and sends every outbound message.
- Personal mailboxes
- Foreman is connected to the business mailbox the company chooses. It is not a tool for reading an individual employee's personal mail.
- Disconnecting
- From Settings inside Foreman. Access stops and stored tokens are destroyed.
UPS and FedEx
Your own carrier accounts, so you keep your own negotiated rates. Foreman uses them for rating, labels and tracking, and keeps asking the carrier rather than trusting a status captured at label time.
- What Foreman uses
- Your UPS and FedEx account numbers and credentials, to quote rates, generate labels, and pull tracking status.
- What you get back
- Live transit status tied to the deal and the purchase order it belongs to, with exceptions surfaced rather than discovered when a customer calls.
- How credentials are held
- Encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM under a key specific to your company.
- Disconnecting
- From Settings inside Foreman. Stored carrier credentials are destroyed.
Dealer marketplaces and industry listings
For sourcing and market pricing, Foreman looks across the dealer marketplaces and industry listings where this trade actually buys and sells. It finds the parts you need to buy, tells you what they are going for across the trade, and flags stock listed below what it is worth.
This connection is about pricing intelligence and availability. Your customer list, your costs and your books are not published to these venues.
How a connection gets made.
- Sign in to Foreman and open Settings, then Connections.
- Choose the service. For QuickBooks Online and for your mailbox you are handed to that provider's own sign-in page to authorize the connection. Foreman never sees those passwords.
- For UPS and FedEx you supply your own account credentials.
- Once authorized, Foreman begins reading. Access tokens refresh automatically, so you are not reconnecting every few weeks.
If you would rather have someone walk it with you the first time, that is normal and it takes about a morning. Call or email and we will set a time.
How to disconnect any integration
- Sign in to Foreman and open Settings, then Connections.
- Choose the connection and select Disconnect.
- Foreman stops accessing that service immediately and destroys the stored credential or token for it.
- For QuickBooks Online, Foreman also revokes the access grant with Intuit, so the authorization stops existing at the source rather than only on our side. You can confirm this in your Intuit account's connected apps list.
You can also ask us to disconnect on your behalf, or to destroy stored data, at tyler@oluriai.com. See the privacy policy for retention and deletion detail.
Connected in a morning.
QuickBooks, the mailbox and the carriers. Then Foreman goes and reads the desk.
