Who we work with

We build integrations for owner-operated businesses with established software, recurring administrative work, and enough operational complexity that better connections would save real time.

  • Multiple locations with separate inventory to track
  • Established operational software you plan to keep using
  • Repetitive document processing: invoices, purchase orders, receiving
  • Daily or weekly reporting needs across locations
  • No internal team to build or maintain integrations

Workflow targets

Common workflows we improve

We start with repetitive administrative work that already happens in your business, then build a focused integration around that workflow.

Daily reporting without spreadsheet cleanup

Owners and managers can ask plain-language questions and get answers from the systems they already use.

  • What sold yesterday, by location, department, or item?
  • What inventory is low, sitting too long, or different across locations?
  • Which vendors, products, or categories need attention this week?

Before

A manager opens several systems, exports data, checks location context, and builds the answer manually.

After

Wolfen prepares the answer from connected records, then shows the source context so a person can review it.

Invoice and document review

Incoming documents can be extracted, matched against your records, and prepared for a person to review.

  • Which invoice lines match items already in the catalog?
  • Which prices, quantities, or item descriptions need human review?
  • What receiving or purchasing summary should a manager check before recording anything?

Before

Someone reads the invoice, checks item names against the catalog, and looks for cost or quantity differences.

After

The workflow extracts the lines, matches likely items, groups exceptions, and prepares a review packet.

Controlled price and catalog updates

Updates that matter can be previewed, approved, and verified before they touch live systems.

  • What price or cost changes are being proposed?
  • What new item or catalog information is ready for approval?
  • What changed, who approved it, and what record exists afterward?

Before

A change request moves through email, notes, spreadsheets, and memory before someone edits the system.

After

The proposed change is previewed, scoped, approved, applied, and recorded with a clear audit trail.

Email and operational follow-through

Useful business context can show up where work already happens: email, calendars, and daily communication.

  • Which vendor or customer email needs operational context?
  • What follow-up should happen after a document, order, or request arrives?
  • What needs to be routed, summarized, or scheduled for the team?

Control model

You stay in control of every important action

Wolfen can help prepare answers, summaries, and proposed changes. Important actions are designed around review, approval, and a clear record.

  1. Operational

    Starts read-only

    Connections can begin read-only. The integration connects to your existing systems and answers questions without making changes.

  2. Operational

    Tested before launch

    Where a sandbox or representative test environment is available, changes can be tested before touching live data.

  3. Review

    Approval required

    Consequential changes require your review and approval. You see what will change, why, and what it looks like before and after.

  4. Operational

    Limited permissions

    Execution is restricted to the reviewed scope. Access is limited to the workflow's required scope.

  5. Confirmed

    Change history

    Approved changes can be verified and recorded. You can trace a change back to its origin.

Your review. Your approval. A clear record.

Anonymized implementation

A multi-location specialty retailer with established inventory and point-of-sale systems.

Problem

Managers needed faster access to operational answers across locations: inventory, sales, purchasing, receiving, pricing, invoices, and daily management reporting.

Systems connected

The implementation connects operational systems including inventory, point-of-sale history, vendor and purchasing records, vendor invoices, and email workflows. Public details remain intentionally anonymized.

Workflow built

A production read-only integration answers plain-language operational questions. A separate document workflow extracts vendor invoice lines, matches them against the existing catalog, consolidates compatible items, and surfaces uncertain matches or price differences for review.

Before

Managers moved between exports, inboxes, spreadsheets, and system screens to answer operational questions or prepare document work.

After

The integration prepares the answer, flags exceptions, and packages the next decision for review before anything consequential is recorded.

Result

The workflows read, match, and prepare. Managers still review and approve important decisions before anything is recorded.

Honest answers

Common questions

Is this just ChatGPT?

No. Wolfen builds connected workflows around the software and records your business already uses. The AI layer is useful because it can read, summarize, match, and prepare work in context.

Will AI make changes automatically?

Important changes can be designed to require human review and approval first. For sensitive workflows, the integration can begin read-only and only prepare proposed actions for a person to approve.

Do we need to replace our current software?

Usually no. The first goal is to work around the systems you already rely on: point of sale, inventory, accounting, email, spreadsheets, databases, calendars, or other operational tools.

What systems can Wolfen connect?

It depends on access, exports, APIs, databases, email formats, and the workflow itself. Common starting points include POS data, inventory systems, accounting tools, vendor invoices, email, spreadsheets, and custom databases.

How do we start?

Send us one workflow that takes too much time. We look for a focused first project with clear inputs, a clear review process, and a practical way to connect to the systems involved.

Workflow review

Send one workflow for review

Share the software you use and a workflow that takes up your time. We use this to evaluate fit and identify a focused first integration opportunity.

Inventory systems, point of sale, accounting, email, spreadsheets, or anything else involved.

What are the steps? How often does it happen?

e.g., 20 invoices per week, daily reports for 3 locations
