YOUR OBJECTIVE COMES FIRST
Choose a handoff with a clear owner.
Make the first workflow manageable.
Montana Commerce identifies manufacturing, agriculture and ag technology, B2B technology, life sciences, back-office operations and logistics among its key industries. B2B technology, back-office services and manufacturing offer useful first scopes around customer requests and supplier documents. A practical brief names the incoming record, required fields and next action. It also explains who can correct the process when an integration or interpretation fails.
Montana Department of Commerce: industry context ↗01Customer request preparation
Turn incoming messages into proposed service records with contact details, requested action and missing information. Keep ambiguous classifications reviewable and connect approved requests with the appropriate follow-up owner.
02Supplier and order intake
Extract proposed references, quantities and dates from attachments, then compare approved mappings. Keep the original document beside discrepancies so a small team can review the exception without re-entering every field.
03Back-office knowledge access
Retrieve relevant passages from approved procedures and prepare a draft with source references. Preserve access boundaries and document versions, with unanswered questions flagged rather than filled by plausible but unsupported text.
04A supportable first release
Define failed-run ownership, retry limits and correction steps alongside the build. Measure total handling effort, including review and maintenance, before deciding whether the workflow should cover additional teams or record types.
