Supervised commercial activation, not forecasting
Vector works with the elevator’s real positions and verifiable market facts. It does not forecast prices, recommend fixing or execute a commercial order. Its job is to detect when there is a concrete, dated reason—compatible with the actual contract—to contact a producer.
Before contact, it verifies the elevator’s own risk
A market signal is useful only if the exact contract pricing formula is correct and the elevator is hedged against the corresponding operation. A price high may be interesting for the producer and financially harmful for the elevator. Vector keeps those two realities separate.
Operational loop
- Detect a relevant window against the exact contract formula.
- Verify position, data freshness and contract-level hedge.
- Explain why the alert exists.
- A human approves or rejects contact and selects the channel.
- The system executes contact, records the reply and escalates to the salesperson when appropriate.
- The outcome is recorded without automatically claiming causality.
Integration without replacing the ERP
The first version is read-only by design. Vector consumes positions, contracts and status from the ERP through APIs, read-only access or exports. If integration is unavailable it can operate with controlled manual input, but requires reconfirmation before contact.
Automation must be earned
Human approval is not a technical limitation; it is a commercial safeguard. An alert type should become automatic only after sufficient evidence shows that the criterion behaves reliably over repeated use.
