AI that does the work, not just the talking
A chat overlay answers questions. Cairn's routines execute the job: they read the source document, check it against live data, draft the record, and hand it back for one-click approval. Every routine is built per role, on top of the data model.
Sales & fulfillment
PO → Sales order
“Create a sales order from this PO.”
Reads the entire purchase order, confirms the customer and every line item exist in live tables, and drafts the matching sales order.
Line details validated against live data, zero manual entry, staged for one-click approval.
Smart order allocation
“Allocate remaining inventory for the Northeast region.”
Weighs retail contract penalty risk against margin and layers first-expiry-first-out rules to route the right stock to the right channel.
Prevents costly retailer chargebacks and minimizes spoilage, automatically.
EDI 850 → sales order
“Turn this 850 from the retailer into an order.”
Parses an inbound EDI 850 purchase order, maps case-packs to your SKUs, and drafts the sales order with the retailer's ship windows.
Retail orders booked without re-keying, ready to fulfill.
Procurement & AP
AP three-way match
“Match this bill against the PO and process it.”
Extracts line values, references the open PO, cross-checks, and surfaces specific variances like price changes or altered terms.
Bill entered exactly as invoiced, with a pending-approval hold and a variance report.
Vendor scorecarding
“Pull a 90-day performance review for Lavira Imports.”
Aggregates over-billing, missing freight, delivery delays, and altered terms captured by daily AP matches into a supplier scorecard.
Turns routine accounting into procurement intelligence, no BI tool required.
Co-packing receipts
“Process these kits and receive the finished goods.”
Reads a co-packer's weekly production schedule, consumes the raw component SKUs, and posts receipts for the finished bundles.
Kitting without heavy manufacturing routing setup.
Reorder from MRP
“Draft POs for everything MRP says we're short on.”
Reads the latest MRP suggestions, groups shortages by best vendor and lead time, and drafts the purchase orders.
A week of purchasing decisions, staged for one approval pass.
Accounting & close
Accrual journal entry
“Post these June accruals as a journal entry.”
Evaluates the schedule and builds a balanced journal entry, debiting expense lines and crediting accrued liabilities.
Balances itself and stages for immediate review.
Payment reconciliation
“Reconcile this week's Shopify payouts against our books.”
Pulls external payouts, pairs them with bank settlements, isolates unbooked deposits, and breaks out processing fees.
Takes the manual grind out of payment reconciliation and keeps cash matched.
Bank reconciliation
“Reconcile the operating account for May.”
Matches the bank feed against ledger entries, clears the obvious pairs, and surfaces only the exceptions that need a human.
A reconciled account in minutes, with a short exceptions list instead of a full statement.
Inventory & production
3PL inventory reconciliation
“Reconcile this 3PL count against our system.”
Pulls live balances across warehouses and builds an adjustment set grouped by location, lot by lot.
Line-by-line lot visibility, adjustments staged for review before they post.
Production log digitization
“Record this production build.”
Reads a handwritten floor clipboard with vision and posts an assembly build, decrementing components by the formula.
A paper log becomes a ledger transaction with full lot genealogy.
Smart BOM ingestion
“Import these BOMs.”
Validates item lines against live component definitions, structures multi-tier configurations, and checks for structural errors.
Complex manufacturing recipes become live, validated records in seconds.
Cycle-count variance
“Reconcile this cycle count for the main DC.”
Compares the count against system on-hand by lot and bin and drafts the adjustments, grouped by location.
Counts become reviewed adjustments without manual spreadsheet math.
Landed-cost allocation
“Allocate this freight bill across the container.”
Reads a late freight or customs invoice and allocates it across the container's SKUs by weight or value, correcting cost layers.
True landed cost applied without reopening the period.
Finance leadership
CFO cash forecast
“Run a cash flow forecast.”
Projects a 90-day cash timeline, calling out low points, their causes, AR concentrations, and collection probabilities by payment velocity.
A forward cash view grounded in real ledger data, not static guesswork.
Executive deliverable engine
“Generate a board deck and Excel model.”
Composes a formatted, downloadable analysis: a board-ready slide deck and a granular financial model.
High-fidelity board and investor reporting, instantly, from live metrics.
Budget variance commentary
“Explain the variances in this month's P&L.”
Compares actuals to budget, ranks the largest swings, and drafts plain-language commentary on what drove each one.
The first draft of the board narrative, grounded in the numbers.
Compliance & risk
Mock recall trace
“Run a trace on lot #8842 of organic oats.”
Traverses the supply-chain graph to trace a raw ingredient from its original PO to 3PL storage and final retail shipments.
A multi-hour compliance drill, done in minutes, proving exact lineage.
Autonomous exception handling
“(Triggered) A container delay threatens a scheduled production run.”
Weighs retail SLA penalties against local spot-market alternatives and presents operations with a clear option path.
Disruptions and margin protected before a human has to intervene.
Lot quality gating
“Hold any lot that's missing a passing COA.”
Checks incoming lots against their certificate of analysis and inspection rules, and holds anything that fails before it can ship.
Out-of-spec product is held before it can ship.
…and more, built per role as you need them
These are the routines running today. Because every routine sits on the same data model, new ones, for your team's specific workflows, are configuration, not a six-month build. Tell us the job and we'll wire the routine.
Every draft keeps an audit trail back to the source document it was built from, the model that drafted it, and the person who approved it. Nothing posts without a human in the loop. See how we govern AI.
Replace your legacy ERP.
In weeks.
Twelve months and six figures used to be the price of admission. Not anymore.
