Meet Archie: AI that knows your shop and acts on it

WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH IT

Ask what’s wrong. “What are my top problems right now?” Archie scans across your operation and tells you: late jobs, overdue POs, cost overruns, open NCRs, unbilled shipments. No reports to pull. No screens to click through. You get the answer in human language with links to go act on it.

Ask about your data. “What’s the actual cost on Job 3062?” “How’s our on-time delivery this month?” “What’s the outstanding balance for Acme Corp?” Archie answers from live data, not cached reports.

Ask how to do something. “How do I split a pick between two lots?” “How do I reopen a completed operation?” Archie walks you through it step by step, or offers to just do it for you. This is especially valuable for things people don’t do every day.

Upload a PDF or drawing. Customer POs, prints, packing slips. Archie can read them and connect the information to what’s already in Fulcrum.

Make quick updates. Change a due date, adjust a quantity. Tell Archie what to update instead of navigating to the right screen. More create/adjust capabilities are coming soon.

Follow up naturally. Archie understands context. Ask about a job, then ask about its PO, then ask about the vendor. It follows the thread without you having to re-explain.

PERMISSIONS AND COMPLIANCE

Archie honors user-level permissions. If a user can’t access sales orders in Fulcrum, Archie won’t answer questions about sales orders. Archie is also ITAR compliant.

WHO IT’S FOR

Everyone. Shop owners who want a morning brief without pulling 10 reports. Production managers who need to know what’s at risk. Schedulers checking capacity. Operators on the shop floor who need help with a task they haven’t done in months. Front office staff answering customer calls who need order status fast.

WHAT’S COMING SOON

• In-chat visualizations: charts and graphs right in the Archie conversation
• More advanced analysis tools for pattern recognition, schedule impact modeling, and pricing analysis
• More tools to create and adjust records directly through Archie (quotes, sales orders, etc.)
