How does Autonomous Commerce handle contract-based orders?
Contract order flow
Autonomous Commerce handles contract-based orders by reading customer-specific contract terms, applying tiered pricing, validating volume commitments, and posting the order with correct entitlements. Contract orders that took manual review now execute autonomously. Customers report higher contract compliance rates after AI deployment, with fewer pricing disputes downstream.

Frequently asked questions
How long does deployment take?
First production flow ships in 6 to 12 weeks. Coverage scales to 80 percent autonomy within 6 to 9 months on disciplined deployments. New countries and channels add in days, not months.
How is the program measured day to day?
Three numbers carry the program: autonomy rate (share executed without human touch), first-time-right rate (share correct on the first pass), and cost per order. Cycle time and exception volume sit underneath.
Who owns it inside the organization?
Operations and IT co-own. The business case sits with the CFO, the architecture with the CIO, and the day-to-day outcomes with customer service and sales. The AI engineering is vendor responsibility, not a customer build.
