Reorder exception review

Malleable turns existing reorder recommendations into an exception queue, explaining which items need planner approval and why.

Why This Works Better with Malleable

Start simple, improve over time

You just describe what you want to happen. The workflow integrates everything—no separate forms, brittle automations, or AI copilots to wire together. Iterate on your process without rebuilding.

No separate systems to integrate

The diagram you see is what executes. AI reasoning, data handling, and notifications all happen as part of the workflow—not as separate automations you need to configure.

Results

  • Reorder review focuses on exceptions
  • Recommendations include evidence
  • Planner approval is captured
