Heft IQ is an enterprise operational decision system that uses Ambient Agents to turn ERP, WMS, TMS, CRM, and operational data into governed Intelligence Briefs. Each brief shows what needs attention, what to do next, the evidence behind the recommendation, the expected financial impact, the cost of inaction, assigned action, outcome-dollar tracking, and ROI attribution.

How does Heft IQ integrate with existing systems?

Heft IQ works alongside your existing ERP, CRM, WMS, and TMS systems with pre-built connectors. No rip and replace, no IT lift, and most systems connect same day. Read-only access to source systems means zero risk to your operations.

What industries does Heft IQ serve?

Heft IQ serves manufacturers, distributors, retailers, grocery chains, ecommerce merchants, and 3PLs. The platform addresses industry-specific challenges including demand forecasting, inventory optimization, margin protection, fulfillment reliability, and operational throughput.

How quickly can Heft IQ deliver results?

Heft IQ delivers same-day time to value. With pre-built connectors and streamlined setup, operations teams go live in hours—not quarters. Customers typically see measurable P&L impact within 30 days.

What are Ambient Agents?

Ambient Agents are AI agents that continuously monitor operations across connected systems. Instead of requiring executives to drill down into dashboards, they detect important signals and assemble Intelligence Briefs with evidence, recommended action, financial impact, cost of inaction, and governed execution tracking.

Tariff Margin Pressure Needs a Pricing Owner

Costs are moving faster than normal reviews. Name the customer, SKU, supplier, and price action before margin absorbs the hit.

What changed

Tariff pressure is showing up as higher cost, margin pressure, delayed investment, and more planned price increases. The operating issue is not awareness. It is ownership.

What to decide

Pick the exposed customers, SKUs, suppliers, and contracts. Decide whether the first move is price action, sourcing review, inventory shift, or spend control.

What to measure

Track margin protected, price actions completed, exposed spend reduced, supplier decisions made, customer exceptions closed, and days to decision.
