Your supply chain is bleeding millions while manual copy-paste jobs clog your operations. That's not a policy problem. It's a technology problem.

The $28,500 Employee Tax You Can't Afford

Manual data entry costs U.S. companies $28,500 per employee every year according to new research. Supply chain roles are hit hardest. Purchase orders. Freight rate sheets. Shipment manifests. Every one of them gets typed by hand into systems that should already know the answers. Manual freight rate management costs businesses millions annually due to errors inefficiencies and wasted time according to industry analysis. Small data entry mistakes compound into delivery delays lost shipments and damaged supplier relationships. The real question is why are you still paying someone to type numbers into spreadsheets when the data lives in email attachments ERP systems and freight portals?

RPA Is Dead. Long Live Agentic Automation

  • RPA projects fail 30 to 50 percent of the time according to UiPath
  • Scripted bots break the moment systems change or UI updates
  • AI computer use models like Anthropic's Claude can navigate real desktop environments
  • Coasty's 82% OSWorld benchmark score crushes the competition
  • Old-school automation can't handle unstructured documents or dynamic workflows

OpenAI's Operator scored just 38% on the OSWorld benchmark while Claude Computer Use hit 72.5%. Coasty blew both out of the water with 82%. That's not incremental progress. That's a different category of capability.

What a Real Computer Use Agent Actually Does

A computer use agent doesn't just run prewritten scripts. It sees your screen. It clicks buttons. It fills forms. It reads unstructured documents and extracts the right data into your systems. Imagine a supply chain agent that logs into your ERP pulls shipment data validates it against your inventory system and updates tracking in real time without human intervention. That's not science fiction. That's what Coasty does today. Most companies are still stuck in 2020. They think automation means recording mouse clicks and hoping nothing changes. In 2026 that's a disaster waiting to happen.

Why Coasty Is the Only Computer Use Agent That Matters

Here's the problem with every other AI computer use product out there. They're built by researchers who have never run a real supply chain. They work in sanitized environments with perfect data. They fail 60 percent of the time on basic desktop tasks. Coasty is different because we live in the real world. Our 82% OSWorld score isn't a lab curiosity. It's proof that our agent handles the messy reality of enterprise software. We control real desktops. We run on your cloud VMs. We can swarm multiple agents to handle parallel workflows. You bring your data. We bring the agent. You can even bring your own keys with our BYOK support. There's no vendor lock-in. There's no expensive implementation team. Just plug and play automation.

Stop Copy-Pasting. Start Automating.

The port congestion and supply chain disruptions of the last few years showed us exactly what happens when you rely on manual processes to manage complex global logistics. Price delays inflation supply shocks. They all trace back to systems that couldn't keep up. You have two choices. Keep paying your team to copy-paste data into systems that should already know the answers. Or deploy a computer use agent that actually works. Coasty.ai gives you the best computer use agent on the market. Free tier available. BYOK supported. Desktop app and cloud VMs included. Don't let your supply chain bleed another million dollars. Start automating today.
