Every department works with data differently. oneAgent combines natural language, verified metrics, and AI support so teams get to usable answers faster.

The Principle

Every use case follows the same principle.

Teams ask a specific question. oneAgent uses approved metrics and matching data sources. The result becomes usable as a table, chart, summary, forecast, idea, or dashboard component.

1

Ask a question

Users formulate their data question in natural language — no SQL, no new dashboard ticket.

2

Recognize metric and context

oneAgent recognizes the question, time period, filters, dimensions, and relevant metrics. If context is missing, oneAgent asks follow-up questions.

3

Use verified logic

The answer follows defined metrics, business rules, roles, and data sources — not freely guessed AI numbers.

4

Use the result

The result appears as a table, chart, explanation, management summary, action idea, forecast, or dashboard component.

For leadership and management

Understand business performance faster — without waiting for the next report.

Management decisions rarely come down to a single metric. Revenue, margin, plan deviations, pipeline, cost, inventory, and customer development often live in different systems. With oneAgent, leaders ask specific questions in natural language and get verified metrics, summaries, and trends in a controlled data environment.

Typical questions

Which regions are behind plan this quarter, and which metrics are driving the deviation?

How are revenue, margin, and order intake developing compared to last year?

Which product groups are losing margin even though revenue is rising?

Which segments show increased risk over the last 90 days?

Summarize the most important changes from last week as a management summary.

For controlling and finance

Answer ad-hoc questions without rebuilding every analysis in Excel.

Controlling teams know the metrics — but spend a lot of time re-preparing them again and again: for management questions, month-end closes, plan-actual comparisons, and margin analyses. oneAgent makes verified finance metrics usable via chat, while controlling and BI keep control over calculation logic, definitions, and approvals.

Typical questions

How is net revenue developing by customer, category, and month?

Which cost centers are over budget, and what drivers are visible?

Which product groups are losing contribution margin after returns and shipping costs?

Which customers show declining margin despite rising revenue?

Create a summary of the biggest plan-actual variances for the monthly meeting.

For e-commerce and shop teams

Analyze shop, inventory, returns, and marketing data together.

Online shops have plenty of data, but rarely a fast, shared view. Shopware, Shopify, ERP, inventory management, logistics, returns, and marketing each show only part of the truth. oneAgent connects these sources and makes them usable via chat — with verified metrics, charts, campaign ideas, and forecasts based on historical data.

Typical questions

Which products currently have high inventory levels and declining demand?

Which categories are losing margin after returns and shipping costs?

Which products had the highest return rate this week?

Which customers have more than 3 orders but no newsletter subscription?

Which campaigns help sell off slow-moving items with high margin?

For sales teams

Evaluate pipeline, customer development, and revenue potential in chat.

Sales teams need fast answers: Which customers are growing? Which regions are falling behind? Which deals are at risk? This information is often spread across CRM, ERP, contract, support, and finance systems. oneAgent connects this data and makes sales questions answerable via chat — with verified metrics, segments, trends, and next steps.

Typical questions

Which customers increased their revenue by more than 20% over 12 months?

Which existing customers haven't ordered in the last 90 days?

Which regions are below target, and which product groups are driving that?

Which deals have high volume but no CRM activity in a long time?

Which reactivation measures would make sense for inactive customers?

For marketing and CRM

Understand campaign performance, audiences, and revenue impact together.

Marketing data shows clicks, cost, and conversions — but often not the full impact on margin, returns, repeat purchases, or customer quality. oneAgent connects campaign, shop, CRM, and revenue data and turns it into verified answers, analyses, and ideas in chat.

Typical questions

Which campaigns had the lowest CPO and brought profitable customers?

Which channels have high conversion but high return rates?

Which audiences buy high-margin products?

How are CAC, ROAS, and repeat purchase rate developing by channel?

Which newsletter segments are suitable for reactivation?

For operations, logistics, and procurement

Spot inventory, lead times, demand, and risks faster.

Operational decisions depend on many data points: inventory, demand, lead times, returns, purchase prices, supplier performance, and stock coverage. When this data lives in separate systems, delays and blind spots emerge. oneAgent makes operational questions accessible via chat and connects them with verified metrics, trends, and forecasts based on historical data.

Typical questions

Which items have declining demand but high inventory levels?

Which products are expected to run out of stock in the next 30 days?

Which suppliers had the most delays last quarter?

Which return reasons occur frequently for certain product groups?

Which items should be reviewed for a price or clearance campaign?

For IT, BI, and data teams

Enable self-service without losing governance.

Business departments want fast answers. IT, BI, and data teams need to ensure data access, metrics, roles, sources, and calculations stay controlled. oneAgent creates a controlled self-service layer: departments ask in natural language, while IT, BI, and data teams govern data sources, metrics, roles, business rules, and validation.

Typical questions / tasks

Which metrics are approved for business departments?

Which data sources should be connected live, and which imported?

Which roles may see which data and metrics?

Which ad-hoc questions can be standardized as verified metrics?

Which departments generate the most reporting requests?

Frequently asked questions about use cases with oneAgent

Find out whether your use case, team, and data sources are a fit.

oneAgent suits teams that regularly ask questions of company data: management, controlling, e-commerce, sales, marketing, operations, and IT / BI / data. oneAgent is especially strong where data lives in multiple systems and business teams need faster answers without losing governance.

No. E-commerce is a very tangible entry point because shop, inventory, returns, and marketing data are often scattered. But oneAgent also works with ERP, CRM, data warehouses, databases, files, and APIs, supporting finance, sales, operations, or management use cases.

You can try oneAgent for free with prepared shop data, predefined metrics, and guided use cases. Your own data is not uploaded independently during the trial — it is connected together as part of a guided pilot project.

It's best to discuss your key data sources, metrics, and questions in a demo. oneAgent can connect live to source systems or import data via an ETL process into the oneAgent Lake. Which option makes sense depends on freshness, performance, security, and data structure.

Metrics are defined, verified, and approved together with the responsible teams — for example controlling, BI, or business departments. The AI understands the question, but the calculation follows the defined data sources, business rules, and approvals.

Yes. Recurring results can be saved as tables, charts, or dashboard components. That way, oneAgent doesn't stay just a chat — it becomes a reusable analysis and decision workflow.
