How AI helps with manufacturing 

Manufacturers, in particular, will enjoy a variety of benefits with Fishbowl AI Insights. You will gain immediate access to a wide array of pre-built dashboards, such as revenue summaries, sales trends, trending products, spend analysis, and suggested purchase orders. These dashboards show you how revenue is coming in and where you should be putting your resources. Identify top-selling products and start gearing up for additional manufacturing of them. And make sure you don’t run out of raw materials by having the AI plugin suggest specific ones to reorder. Your manufacturing business will run like a well-oiled machine with all the production insights you’ll glean from Fishbowl. 

In addition, AI Insights recommends POs and WOs based on forecasts, open POs and WOs, current inventory, BoMs, and more to recommend purchase and work orders. With this, purchase order creation will be remarkably simpler and more flexible. Rather than setting up reorder points and having to modify them manually, you can use Fishbowl AI Insights to see smart suggestions on how to update them. It can even recommend when you should issue purchase orders. Then you’ll be able to accurately plan replenishments and ordering strategies with your vendors. 

Through AI-powered recommended purchase orders, you can significantly reduce stockouts, optimize inventory levels across the board, and improve the customer experience by predicting what they intend to buy and always having it in stock.
