The AI Inventory Agent: Why Inventory Accuracy Is a CFO Problem | Webinar | 79Consulting

Poor inventory data rarely shows up labelled “inventory problem.” It shows up as a buyer placing an order you didn’t need, a warehouse team hunting for stock NetSuite says is there, an expedited shipment, excess stock tying up cash, or a physical count finance can’t reconcile at month end. In this session, Rashie Ratan (Chief Revenue Officer, 79Consulting), Kishore Bojja (Founder & President, 79Consulting), and Eric Holzer (Sr. NetSuite Architect, 79Consulting) follow a poor inventory number through six places it quietly hurts a business: working capital, procurement, supply chain, the P&L, audit and controls, and capital allocation. Then Eric goes live in NetSuite Next to show the AI Inventory Agent: how the Inventory Count SuiteApp captures counts in real time, and how the AI Reconciliation Assistant takes you from hundreds of variance lines to a clear place to start, using plain-English questions instead of saved searches and pivot tables. What You’ll Learn Why inaccurate counts distort working capital and the cash decisions you make on top of them How poor inventory data becomes poor buying signals: expedites, over-ordering and missed volume discounts Why MRP, forecasting and safety-stock models are only as good as the inventory feeding them Where inventory errors land on the P&L and why loose count processes become audit risk Why counting is only part of the problem, and where the real time goes: investigating variances A live demo of the AI Reconciliation Assistant asking “show me the top 10 items with the highest variance cost” What the agent can and can’t see: scoped to the count data on the page, inherits your NetSuite role permissions, read-only, built on Claude from Anthropic Where a CFO or COO should start: crawl, walk, run with targeted counts, a baseline and a quantified exposure Agenda 00:00 Welcome 01:06 Housekeeping 01:23 Meet Your Speakers 04:18 It Rarely Arrives Labelled “Inventory Problem” 04:55 Part 1: Where Does Poor Inventory Accuracy Actually Hurt? 05:21 Working Capital: Cash You Can’t Fully Trust 07:30 Procurement: Poor Signals, Bought with Confidence 09:27 Supply Chain: A House of Cards on Poor Data 11:38 Hidden P&L Leakage 13:16 Audit & Controls: Not a Warehouse Risk, an Audit Risk 14:49 Capital Allocation: Inventory Is Cash on the Shelf 16:09 Part 2: Counting Is Only Part of the Problem 17:53 Live Demo: Meet the AI Inventory Agent 28:52 Asking the AI Reconciliation Assistant About Variances 31:00 From a Discrepancy to a Decision 33:10 Data & Security, in Plain Terms 36:59 What This Could Change: Business Lens & Warehouse Lens 40:17 Live Q&A 42:50 Where Should a CFO or COO Start? 43:26 Two Things to Remember 44:07 Let’s Look at Your Process Together About 79Consulting: 79Consulting is an Oracle NetSuite partner with 19+ years of experience helping growing businesses get more from their ERP.
