Roadmap
AI/ML Initiatives
The Lean AI and Data Science pipeline beyond individual agents: forecasting, Project Helix, federal bids, and sustainability. These are our flagship initiatives, not a full list of everything the team is working on. Select a card for what it does and how we'll judge it.

| Initiative | Stage | Priority | Owner | Business owner | Start | Go-live | How we judge it |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AutoBid — Decisions Engine Agentic pipeline that assesses custom options - complexity and upcharge - and tells dealers whether we can do the work. | Production | P1 | AI Solutions Engineering | Larry Kallio | Jan 2026 | 22 Aug 2026 | Cuts bid response time from around 72 hours to under 24. Tracking win rate and P&L, and whether we win more opportunities as a result. |

| AI Analytics Dashboard Pulls Claude Enterprise, Claude Console, GitHub Copilot, M365 Copilot, AWS Bedrock and Gemini into one dashboard that refreshes daily, with budgets by owner, licensed seats, adoption and a year-end projection. A Data Assistant answers questions about the tab on screen, using the dashboard’s own figures. | Production | P3 | AI Solutions Engineering | Mark Buikema | Jul 2026 | 18 Sep 2026 | Leaders can see what AI costs, who is using it and where spend is heading, without waiting on a spreadsheet — and can ask the data a question directly. |
| HR Studio | Test | P2 | AI Solutions Engineering | HR LT | — | — | — |
| Intake Agent — Project Helix Consolidates Helix team ideas into one funnel so the team can prioritise what to fund. | Test | P1 | AI Solutions Engineering | Greg Buckwald | — | Sep 2026 | — |
| ERD Generation — Project Helix Generates engineering rules documents as Word files from sandbox models (Creo, Creo Illustrate, CAD). Not PDF generation. | Test | P1 | Data Science | Brett Hoffman | — | — | — |
| Retail Floor Advisor (CJ) A conversational agent for retail associates on the floor, grounded only in the Retail Operations and retail training SharePoint sites and Omni training content. Selling skills and training come first; how-tos for Salesforce, NetSuite, OMS and Scale follow. | Test | P3 | AI Solutions Engineering | John Haggard | — | — | — |
| SKU Attribute Exporter Agentic pipeline like AutoBid. Scripts replace hand-checking the pub layer webpage and pulling products one line at a time - extraction through upload, with human review. | Development | P3 | AI Solutions Engineering | Shannon Zonca | — | — | Speeds up B2B e-commerce page setup and how quickly we can onboard new ones, which in turn affects the share of wallet we can capture. |
| Government RFP Reads government requirements, checks our products against them, and pulls the matching price book pages. Replaces hand-highlighting up to 700 pages. | POC | P1 | AI Solutions Engineering | Amy Slagter | — | — | Tracks genuinely won opportunities, and the ability to compete in these bids with significantly less manual labour. |
| CBS Forecasting | POC | P2 | Data Science | — | — | — | — |
| Sustainability — Carbon Data Discovery Two pilots: an ecomedes chatbot for faster reach into our own carbon data, and real-time carbon impact as product options are configured - like an extended price. | POC | P2 | AI Solutions Engineering | Taiyoh Afrik | — | — | — |
| Ancillary AI Gets lead time data out of Omni and static PDFs programmatically. HAY first, then Muuto, then the rest of MillerKnoll. | Backlog | P3 | AI Solutions Engineering | Chris Malik | Oct 2026 | — | — |
