What governance is needed for AI agents in commerce?

Governance model

Governance for AI agents in commerce requires confidence thresholds, audit logs, exception escalation rules, and outcome dashboards. Enterprise customers also implement role-based approval limits, data residency controls, and compliance reviews. Governance maturity is the difference between 50 percent and 95 percent autonomy in production environments.

Frequently asked questions

What problem does it solve in B2B commerce?

It closes the gap between how customers send orders (email, PDF, portal, EDI, Excel) and how ERPs need them entered. The manual capture, validation, and write-back work that caps throughput and produces order errors goes away.

Where does it fit alongside ERP, CRM, and EDI?

It sits in front of the ERP as the inbound execution layer. EDI handles the partners that have it. AI agents handle every other channel and write the result natively into SAP, D365, or comparable systems of record.

What does success look like in production?

Touchless execution on the happy path, autonomy rates above 80 percent on covered transaction types, first-time-right rates near 99 percent, and capacity released back to the team for higher-value work.
