Garudafood queries distribution and inventory data with an AI assistant

Read the source ↓What the company did
Microsoft reports that Garudafood deployed a Fabric Data Agent so business staff can ask plain-language questions about company data. Distribution records, inventory signals and transactions sit in a governed Fabric environment, giving the assistant a shared data foundation rather than a collection of separate reports.
How it went
Staff can get answers without requesting a custom report from the data team, according to Microsoft. The report does not isolate the agent's performance from the broader data-platform changes; its numerical targets are also described inconsistently as achieved and still being pursued.
Worth knowing
- Live ingestion supplies the timely records; AI makes those records easier to question. Forecasting and demand-planning extensions were future work.
- For your desk: Specify the warehouse, SKU, reporting period and last refresh when asking about stock. Reconcile a distribution anomaly with the operating records before reallocating inventory.
