🚨 FedEx & UPS are changing how they charge for packages in 2026 — and procurement teams will feel it first.

Both carriers are expanding cubic volume–based surcharges, meaning more shipments will trigger added fees based on size, not just weight. Translation?
📦 More surprise charges
📊 More invoice discrepancies
📞 More vendor and carrier follow-ups

This is exactly where agentic AI starts to matter.

Meet Jonah, the Agentic AI assistant from Inventry.ai

Jonah is built to enhance—not replace—your purchasing team by handling the operational grind that slows teams down when complexity spikes.

Here’s how Jonah helps procurement teams stay ahead 👇

✅ Maintains inventory minimums automatically
Jonah monitors stock levels and creates purchase orders when thresholds are hit—no spreadsheets, no manual triggers.

✅ Creates, tracks, and chases POs
From creation to fulfillment, Jonah follows up on open POs and flags delays before they become problems.

✅ Updates real lead times
Jonah continuously updates supplier lead times based on actual performance—not assumptions.

✅ Matches invoices against POs & receipts
With new carrier surcharges becoming more common, Jonah helps catch mismatches and unexpected fees faster.

✅ Drafts vendor escalation notes
Late shipment? Jonah can draft a clear, context-aware escalation message so your team doesn’t start from scratch.

💡 Why this matters now

As carriers introduce more nuanced pricing models, procurement teams are being asked to do more analysis, more coordination, and more exception handling—without more headcount.

Agentic AI like Jonah turns that complexity into action.

Instead of reacting to surprises, your team becomes proactive:

• Fewer stockouts
  
  

• Faster issue resolution
  
  

• Cleaner invoices
  
  

• More time for strategic sourcing and negotiation
  
  

🔑 In short:
Inventry.ai’s Jonah acts as an always-on purchasing assistant—automating the busywork so your team can focus on what actually moves margins.
