socraty

AI agents that answer the questions your business gets every day.

Socraty works across your sales, stock, customer and product information so your team, and your customers, can get the answers they need without searching through spreadsheets, reports and catalogues.

Built for distributors and manufacturers.

Diagram: a question goes to Socraty in the middle. Socraty reads the sources around it, such as the sales history, stock export, aged debt report and product catalogue, and the card underneath shows which kind of information answers that question. Examples alternate between questions from your team, about sales, stock and credit, and questions from customers on your website, about products, alternatives and quotes.

Your business has the answer. Finding it is the problem.

Your company already has valuable information.

It’s sitting across ERP reports, spreadsheets, product catalogues, technical documents and customer records.

But answering a simple question can still mean opening reports, filtering Excel, searching PDFs or asking the person who knows where to look.

Your customers face the same problem.

They search through product pages and catalogues, struggle to find exactly what they need and end up submitting a contact form or waiting for sales.

Socraty makes that information easier to use.

Let Socraty find what needs your attention.

Watch Socraty work through a question.

Question, check, finding, source, suggested action. Sample data only, no signup.

Sample data only You are a sales manager at a distributor. Pick a question your team already asks.

Which customers are overdue for their normal reorder?

Checking customer purchasing history…

Pattern identified
Customer A normally orders every 31 days. Last order: 67 days ago.
Finding
36 days beyond normal reorder cycle
Suggested action
Contact Customer A regarding DEMO-F01.
SourceSales History.xlsx

Customer A order dates, rows 118 to 142. The usual cycle is the account’s own median gap between orders over the last 12 months, not a blanket cut-off.

RuleTeam rule 14: partial returns

Check for a partial return in the last 30 days before calling. None found for Customer A.

What should we reorder this week?

Checking stock movements and supplier lead times…

Pattern identified
DEMO-F01: 120 on hand, about 40 a week dispatched. PT-48: about 15 weeks of cover.
Finding
DEMO-F01 has about 3 weeks of cover against a 4-week lead time
Suggested action
Review a purchase order for DEMO-F01. PT-48 needs nothing. A person confirms the order.
SourceStock Movements Q3.xlsx and Supplier Lead Times.xlsx

On-hand and 8-week average dispatch from the stock export, rows 40 to 61. Lead times from the supplier sheet, tab 2.

RuleTeam rule 9: recent receipts

Lines received in the last 14 days are left out of slow-stock and reorder flags, so a fresh delivery is not misread.

Which accounts are paying later than usual?

Checking aged debt and payment history…

Pattern identified
Customer D usually pays within its 30-day terms. Two invoices are now more than 60 days old, £4,200 in total.
Finding
Customer D has changed payment behaviour. Customer E has one invoice at 35 days, inside its agreed 45-day terms, so it is not flagged.
Suggested action
Contact Customer D about the two invoices before the next order is released.
SourceAged Debt 31 Aug.xlsx

Rows 12 and 13 for Customer D (£2,650 and £1,550). Row 27 for Customer E.

RuleTeam rule 3: agreed terms

Late is measured against each account’s agreed terms and its own payment history, not a single number of days.

Can you update the order in our ERP for me?

Answer
No. Socraty reads the information your team provides and writes nothing back to your systems.
Suggested action
On a real build, a request like this is handed to the person who owns the order.
WhyRead-only by default

Your team keeps the decision and the system of record. A live connection is a separate, scoped piece of work.

Let Socraty find what matters.

Every answer shows its source.

AI answers are only useful if your team can trust them.

Socraty works from the information your business provides and shows where its answers came from, whether that’s a spreadsheet row, catalogue entry, document or approved company rule.

If the information isn’t available, Socraty should say so rather than invent an answer.

Start with the data you already have.

You don’t need to replace your ERP or start with a major IT project.

Socraty can begin with the reports, spreadsheets, catalogues and documents your business already uses.

  • ERPERP exports
  • XLSExcel / CSV
  • WWWProduct catalogues
  • PDFTechnical PDFs
  • CRMCustomer records
  • DOCCompany rules

All of this feeds intoSocraty

Turn your website into somewhere customers can actually ask.

Your customers don’t always know your exact product name, SKU or specification. They know what they’re trying to achieve.

Socraty lets customers describe what they need in their own words, ask detailed product questions and get answers from approved company information.

When buying intent appears, Socraty can capture the requirement and pass a structured enquiry to sales.

Kempner went first.

UK packaging distributor

Kempner had valuable commercial information spread across SAP exports, spreadsheets and company knowledge.

Answering everyday questions meant opening reports, filtering spreadsheets or relying on someone who knew where to find the information.

We built Agent Ziggy around the information they already had.

  • What did this customer buy previously?
  • Which customers have reduced their orders?
  • What products may need reordering?
  • Which accounts are paying later than usual?
  • What’s the relevant product information for this enquiry?

Instead of searching for the information, ask for it.

The same intelligence can work for your customers.

The information your team uses to answer customer questions often comes from the same product catalogues, company knowledge and business data.

Socraty can make approved parts of that information available through your website, helping customers find products, explain what they need and submit better-qualified enquiries.
