He recovered more than $4,200 in lost margin, then cut his weekly report review from five to eight hours down to less than one. He called it "the most phenomenal tool you've launched." Daily AI Summary * Ron Soto AllPro Paint · Atlanta, GA Ron asked Rundoo AI which of his top spenders from 2022 had stopped buying in 2025, and got a list of 20 drifted accounts in seconds, the kind of audit that used to mean comparing years report by report. He worked the list with phone calls and deliveries, and half of those accounts were buying again within three months. Rundoo AI · win-back * Scott Vetter Lumber · Fort Jennings, OH On go-live day, a long-tenured team member used Rundoo AI to assemble a report that had always taken hours to pull together by hand. The answer landed in seconds, and the room got quiet in the way it does when software does something genuinely useful. Rundoo AI · reporting ## Try AI first Your store data is connected to Rundoo AI, so it can handle reporting, writing, filtering, updates, ordering, and even setting up Rundoo itself. Store owners and staff typically start by asking questions, then trust the next step, then let the work that repeats run on its own. 01 ### Analyze Ask which products lost margin, which customers slowed down, what is understocked, or what changed yesterday, and get the answer without a report-builder. ![AI-generated reports](https://pub-5247264bd04e4ebeaecbbedb3bebb9f8.r2.dev/static/images/pages/ai-reports.png) ### AI-generated reports Ask questions in plain English and get a report back in seconds, from margin leakage to slow-paying accounts.

[See pricing tools →](/product/manage-pricing-purchasing/index.md) 02 ### Act Ask Rundoo to take the next step, from drafting an order to updating a price or building a customer list, while you stay in control the whole way. ![AI order generation](https://pub-5247264bd04e4ebeaecbbedb3bebb9f8.r2.dev/static/images/pages/ai-order-generation.png) ### AI order generation Rundoo looks at what sold, what is low, what is seasonal, and what your vendor expects, then drafts the purchase order so you are not ordering on gut feel. [See purchasing tools →](/product/manage-pricing-purchasing/index.md) 03 ### Automate Schedule agents for ordering, pricing checks, store-health summaries, and customer follow-up so the important work is waiting when you walk in. ![Reliable agents for the repetitive work](https://pub-5247264bd04e4ebeaecbbedb3bebb9f8.r2.dev/static/images/pages/ai-scheduled-agents.png) ### Reliable agents for the repetitive work Lean on easy-to-run AI agents for the routine, repetitive tasks that quietly eat up hours of store staff time every week, running on the schedule you set. ## Built to actually get used The AI only helps if the system around it is easy to learn, quick to use, and backed by people who pick up the phone. 1. 01 ### Easy to learn, easy to onboard The interface is intuitive in a browser or on mobile, so new staff get comfortable on the same system quickly instead of learning a binder of legacy quirks. 2. 02 ### Workflows that minimize manual typing Run your store on workflows built around best practices that cut down on manual typing, so the everyday work moves faster with fewer mistakes. 3. 03 ### Run it on almost any device Rundoo runs on anything with a web browser, from a tablet to a laptop to a phone. The specialized devices for card-present payments and receipt printing are hardware we provide. 4. 04 ### One in-house point of contact Get a single point of contact who picks up the phone, listens during major problems, and gives real guidance, without making you maneuver through a company to fix an issue. Support is in-house only. ## Read more from the Rundoo Primer Weekly notes on the AI work Rundoo is shipping.
