Your managers stay in control
Built for shops where a wrong move costs real money.
Schedules, purchase orders, and customer commitments have physical consequences. PrepDesk treats approval as a core part of moving faster.
- Schedule changes, purchase orders, and customer communication wait for manager approval
- AI answers connect to the production records that support them
- Manual overrides are always available
- Every approved change records who, what, and why
Responsible automation
Clear boundaries for every recommendation.
Where does the AI act, and where do people decide?
AI recommends schedule moves, checks material readiness, drafts RFQs and quotes, summarizes vendor replies, and sends alerts. External actions such as purchase orders, vendor emails, shipments, and customer notices require explicit approval.
What if the AI gets something wrong?
Recommendations cite the schedule rows and records they are based on, so your team can check them quickly. Managers can override recommendations, and approved changes are logged with the reason.
