  "account": "DeepFabric has successfully partnered with 3PL company Kenco to scale supply chain agents. Kenco's Chief Digital and Information Officer, Pal Narayanan, reached out to DeepFabric after hearing about their work in the supply chain industry. The partnership began with a call, and DeepFabric founder and CEO Kalyan Kommineni was impressed by Kenco's approach to AI and technology deployment.\n\nKommineni emphasized that successful AI agent implementations start small and move quickly, minimizing risks. DeepFabric approached Kenco with an NDA, data sharing, and a proof-of-concept stage to test the agents in a non-production environment. This approach ensured that the six agents went live without disrupting Kenco's service to any customers.\n\nKenco operates 141 distribution facilities and 43 million square feet of warehouse space across 33 states and Canada, with every handoff in the network requiring manual checks. DeepFabric's agents, including the freight auditor, proposal manager, and inventory manager, have helped Kenco reduce audit-spend by 45% and request-for-proposal response times by up to 30%.\n\nKommineni highlighted the importance of measuring KPIs agent-dependently, with different metrics for proposal managers, auditors, and inventory managers. He also explained the company's balanced approach to AI investment, separating agentic AI, which completes tasks inside defined guardrails, from generative AI, which produces content and finds insights.",
