Agentic AI Services

The Future of B2B Automation Starts Here​

Agentic AI Services enables organizations to move beyond traditional workflow automation and embrace intelligent, autonomous business processes across their trading network.

Built on the STF Network, AI agents are provided with trusted business context, powerful execution tools, and specialized business skills that allow them to validate, reconcile, decide, and act across multiple organizations in real time.

Rather than simply moving documents between systems, Agentic AI creates a digital workforce capable of managing complex supply chain, finance, and customer processes with speed, accuracy, and governance.

How It Works​

Context-Aware AI Through Model Context Protocol (MCP)​

AI agents require more than data; they require context.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) provides AI agents with secure, real-time access to transactional documents, master data, commercial agreements, partner-specific rules, and operational policies.

This shared understanding allows agents to:

  • Interpret transactions consistently
  • Understand trading partner requirements
  • Validate business rules accurately
  • Detect anomalies and discrepancies
  • Make informed decisions across organizations

By ensuring every AI decision is grounded in trusted and auditable business context, MCP eliminates ambiguity and enables reliable cross-organizational automation.

Tools That Turn Decisions Into Action​

AI agents are equipped with powerful tools embedded within the STF Network that allow them to execute business processes, not just analyse them.

These tools enable agents to:

  • Validate invoices against purchase orders and goods receipts
  • Detect and investigate discrepancies
  • Route exceptions to the appropriate stakeholders
  • Trigger remediation workflows
  • Execute approved financial settlements
  • Update ERP and business systems
  • Coordinate activities across trading partners

The result is intelligent automation that spans entire business processes rather than isolated tasks.

Skills That Replicate Business Expertise​

Skills provide AI agents with specialized business knowledge and decision-making capabilities.

These reusable capabilities empower agents to perform functions such as:

  • Invoice reconciliation
  • Exception management
  • Claims processing
  • Master Data validation
  • Trading partner compliance monitoring
  • Demand forecasting
  • Root cause analysis
  • Customer service support

As business requirements evolve, new skills can be introduced without redesigning existing processes, creating a scalable foundation for continuous automation.
