R$500,000 in Return in Two Months: How Fibrasa Started Validating 100% of Its Purchases With AI

Fibrasa, a plastic packaging manufacturer, built an AI agent that sits inside its TOTVS Fluig ERP approval flow, not a side tool, but a required step before every purchase requisition gets approved.

  • +R$500Kin returns within the first 2 months
  • 10+criteria checked on every purchase order
  • 100%of requisitions validated before approval

The challenge

Fibrasa, a plastic packaging manufacturer, set its purchase reorder points by hand. That led to repetitive, inefficient buying with no data intelligence built into the approval flow. Fibrasa had one hard requirement: AI could not become a side tool people ignored. It had to run as a mandatory step inside the purchasing flow the company already used in its TOTVS Fluig ERP, with no new system to learn.

The solution

smartside.ai built a Purchase Evaluation Agent that monitors every requisition inside the TOTVS Fluig ERP. Before each approval, it checks the requisition against more than ten criteria: historical average price, consumption, stock levels, supplier, deadlines, and typing errors. It then returns a green, yellow, or red flag. The final call still belongs to a person: the agent doesn't approve on its own, it only advises.

The result

The agent became an intelligence layer over Fibrasa's entire purchasing process. Today, 100% of requisitions are validated before approval, with standardized analysis, fewer errors, and more management confidence in every decision. The payoff came fast: more than R$500,000 in financial return in the first two months of operation.

An AI agent now reviews 100% of Fibrasa's purchase requisitions before approval, and delivered more than R$500,000 in return in two months.
