Say what you need. The system does the rest.

fernie lives inside Work Suite. Ask in plain language and it pulls customers, finds items, checks pricing, builds reports, and starts orders on your live data. Then it asks before anything happens.

What it is

Ask Work Suite directly.

Work Suite is the system of record. fernie is how you interact with it in natural language: every module and fernie read the same record, so an answer is never a guess about your operation.

On your data

It answers from your live tenant: your customers, your items, your price groups. Ask what you carry in 1-gallon perennials and the answer comes from your catalog, not a chat window's imagination.

More than chat

It acts. Ask it to do something and the conversation ends in work done, not a paragraph explaining how you'd do it yourself.

Always your call

Anything that would change your data comes back as a proposal card: the customer, the dates, the items, the estimated total, and a confirm button. Nothing runs until you say so.

It won't fake it

If it can't reach exactly what you asked for, it says so instead of pretending it did. Ask it to open a lot with no direct link and it tells you where to find it instead of claiming it got there.

Counts illustrative. Real answers come from your tenant's live records.

Beyond questions

It handles the busywork too.

Hand it a file

Drop in a spreadsheet or CSV and fernie reads it, tells you what's inside, and asks what you want done with it.

Walk away with a report

Ask for a summary and it builds a real document, not a paragraph: open it, keep it, share it.

Watch it work

Every step shows as it runs, and the tools it used are listed under the answer. No black box between the question and the result.

Pick the thread back up

Conversations save and resume, so Monday's question can keep going on Thursday without starting over.

And it rides along everywhere: fernie works across every module, and the screen you're on, module and grid included, is part of the conversation.

Asked about fernie

The questions that come up most.

Is fernie a separate product I pay for?
No. It ships inside Work Suite and works across every module, because every module and fernie read the same record on one data layer.
What can fernie actually do today?
It pulls customers, items, and pricing from your live data, filters and searches your grids on command, starts orders, and jumps you to the right screen. Hand it a spreadsheet and it reads it and tells you what is inside; ask for a summary and it builds the report as a real document. Conversations save and resume. It is in beta, and it is shipping.
Will it change things without me?
No. Anything that would change your data comes back as a proposal card showing the customer, dates, items, and estimated total, with a confirm button. The only actions it takes on its own are the safe kind: navigating, filtering, and searching. Nothing posts or ships until you confirm.
What data does fernie see?
Your operation’s live records: the same customers, items, orders, and price groups your team works in every day. It answers from your tenant, so the answer is your operation’s, not a generic one.
