Streamline Decision-Making With AI-Powered Natural Language Insights
In manufacturing and distribution, the cost of waiting is high. But insights that should take seconds to get are often locked behind complex tools, outdated reporting and overloaded analysts. When every decision counts—from planning production to preserving margins—teams can’t afford to be slowed down by manual reports and fragmented systems.
GenAI Query, part of Aptean Intelligence and embedded in AppCentral, transforms how teams access insights. Permitted users simply ask questions in natural language – and receive instant, trusted answers in clear formats like summaries, charts or tables. Whether spotting trends, resolving bottlenecks or optimizing business-critical processes, GenAI Query empowers teams to make smarter, faster decisions without needing to build reports or pull in IT.
