ERP systems hold enormous amounts of operational and financial data. The real challenge is not finding more data – it is knowing what needs attention, why it matters, and what to do next. 

GoldFinch is developing a new generation of AI-powered operational consoles to help users move from exceptions to action. These consoles will identify issues, bring the relevant information together, explain the business impact, and guide users toward the next step – all within Salesforce. 

Our strategy is simple: 

Detect with GoldFinch. Analyze with Apex and external AI. Present through the console. Explain and act with Agentforce. 

This approach combines trusted ERP logic with a conversational experience while keeping users in control.

Instead of offering a general-purpose chatbot and expecting users to know what to ask, GoldFinch is building focused workspaces around real operational responsibilities. 

The AI Document Processing Console is initially focused on accounts payable. It helps teams process vendor invoices received by email or uploaded by: 

• Extracting invoice information with AI 
• Validating vendors, purchase orders, items, quantities, and amounts against GoldFinch records 
• Creating draft purchase invoices for review 
• Clearly identifying missing information or validation errors 
• Helping users correct and reprocess failed requests 

The objective is not to remove human oversight. It is to reduce manual entry, make exceptions easier to understand, and give AP teams a faster path from invoice receipt to an accurate draft transaction.

Supply planning can involve thousands of items, demand records, inventory balances, purchase orders, work orders, and planning buckets. Important exceptions can be difficult to identify quickly. 

The Supply Planning Console is designed to bring the highest-priority issues to the surface, including: 

• Projected shortages and stockout risks 
• Late or insufficient supply 
• Excess inventory 
• Missing or incomplete planning data 
• Failed calculations or planning processes 
• Purchase or production recommendations that require attention

Users can select an issue, review its supporting details, and ask Agentforce to explain the cause, business impact, and available actions. GoldFinch remains responsible for the calculations and recommendations; the conversational layer helps users understand the evidence and move forward. 

Finance teams spend significant time finding exceptions before they can resolve them. The Accounting Console will organize issues such as incomplete transactions, reconciliation differences, posting exceptions, and close-related tasks in one workspace. 

For each issue, users will be able to see a concise summary, supporting transaction details, and recommended next steps. Agentforce can help explain the issue in business language and guide the user through an authorized resolution. 

A chat window can be useful, but it should not be the only way users discover problems. 

Each GoldFinch console is designed to proactively show what needs attention. The left panel organizes issues by status and priority. The center panel presents the selected issue, supporting details, and related records. The right panel provides a contextual conversation powered by Agentforce. 

This design gives users both structure and flexibility: a clear operational worklist for routine processing and a conversational assistant for investigation, explanation, and action. 

GoldFinch remains the system of record for inventory, supply planning, accounting, permissions, and transaction processing. Agentforce serves as the conversational and explanatory layer. 

That distinction is important. The AI assistant should not invent ERP calculations, bypass business rules, or make uncontrolled changes. It works with facts and recommendations returned by authorized GoldFinch services. 

Our guiding principles include:

• Evidence before recommendations 
• Salesforce permissions and GoldFinch business rules always apply 
• Users preview and confirm transaction changes 
• Drafts can be prepared, but sensitive actions require appropriate authorization 
• Posted financial transactions, historical costing, and audit integrity remain protected 
• Detailed review and high-volume processing stay within the GoldFinch application 

The purpose of this strategy is not to add AI for its own sake. It is to reduce the time users spend searching across records, investigating exceptions, and deciding what to do next. 

By combining operational detection, focused workspaces, trusted analysis, and conversational assistance, GoldFinch can help customers: 

• Identify urgent issues earlier 
• Reduce manual investigation 
• Resolve exceptions more consistently 
• Improve planning and accounting productivity 
• Adopt Agentforce through practical ERP use cases 

The result is a smarter way to work: GoldFinch identifies what needs attention, explains why it matters, and helps users take the next authorized action – directly within Salesforce.
