Use cases

Ship internal systems and workflows your teams will actually use

Whether you are replacing spreadsheets, stitching APIs, or standing up a mini-ERP—DarkSmog AI turns intent into governed apps: data models, workflows, portals, and integrations in one place. Explore patterns below, then talk to us about your rollout.

We need a lightweight ERP slice: inventory by warehouse, sales orders, and GL postings with approval before invoice.

I’ll propose entities for Item, Warehouse, SO, and JournalEntry, with workflows for pick/pack/ship and finance approval. We can start with read-only ERP sync, then expand writeback.

Composable ERP slice

Operational and financial truth in one model—without a multi-year package rollout.

Application roles

    User stories

      Outcomes teams measure after go-live

      Typical ranges we see when spreadsheet chaos becomes a governed app—your mileage depends on process maturity.

      40–70%fewer manual handoffs once workflows own the happy path
      2–5×faster cycle time from request to decision with SLA clocks
      Singleaudit trail for data, documents, and approvals—not email threads
      Weeksto pilot with a real department, not quarters of pure discovery

      From workshop to production

      1

      Discover & prioritize

      Map actors, objects, and pain points. Pick one journey—e.g. “vendor onboarding” or “expense reimbursement”—as the first vertical slice.

      2

      Model & connect

      Define entities and forms, wire approvals and SLAs, then attach REST or batch jobs to SAP, identity, and messaging systems you already run.

      3

      Pilot & harden

      Run with a pilot team, capture exceptions, tighten RBAC and observability—then expand to more sites or tenants without forking code.

      4

      Scale & iterate

      Reuse components across Retail, Loan Origination, Fleet, Production Tracking, and more—same patterns, different data and policy.

      Where teams deploy these patterns

      Horizontal platform, vertical outcomes—retail ops, lending, fleet, manufacturing, partner networks, and regulated workloads on one stack.
