In Claude: Customize → Connectors → + Add → Add custom connector. In ChatGPT: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode → Create app, with OAuth. In Codex: `codex mcp add stacksync --url https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp` then `codex mcp login stacksync`. Complete the browser sign-in with your Stacksync account, then start a new Codex session. In Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http stacksync https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp`. Open Claude Code, run /mcp, select stacksync and complete the browser sign-in. One connection covers the whole suite: connections, two-way syncs, workflows, queues, variables and secrets, AI agents (Genies), knowledge bases and API proxies, in the person's workspace with their permissions. Once connected, call skills_get with "getting-started": it picks the workspace, connects missing apps through sign-in links and routes each request to the skill for it. Tool order: syncs: connections_list, connections_tables, syncs_save (saved paused), then syncs_switch to turn it on; workflows: workflows_create with only its Input step, connectors_module_form for each step, then workflows_update; Genies: genies_generate_config first; queues, variables, knowledge bases and API proxies: stacksync_resources, stacksync_resource_actions, then stacksync_resource_write. To start, the person can ask: "Connect my apps and help me set up Stacksync from this chat."

Author Ignacio Malpartida · GTM Engineer Published September 18, 2026 Read time 5 min read APP TIPS ## The operating decision A flooring shortage-review Genie can compare approved takeoffs, material requirements, deliveries, allocations and reported installation progress. Its job is to explain the apparent shortfall with source references and unresolved assumptions. Keep quantity conversions and arithmetic deterministic, and separate net installed area from purchased packages and remaining usable stock. The agent should prepare a procurement or project-review packet, not automatically buy more material or assume that every difference represents waste. Explore the complete [commercial flooring and interior installation integration and automation hub](https://www.stacksync.com/industry/construction/commercial-flooring-interiors) for the systems and processes around this guide. ![Summary card: Flooring shortage review Genie with NetSuite evidence](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-highlights/icp-genies-for-flooring-shortage-reviews-reconcile-takeoffs-delivered-materials-and-installation-phases.webp) ## What this looks like in commercial flooring and interior installation A flooring contractor is partway through an office fit-out when the foreman reports insufficient tile for the final phase. The takeoff is in square feet, supplier deliveries are in boxes, and some boxes were moved to another project. A Genie can gather the relevant records and show the possible causes: quantity conversion, approved overage, damaged material or an allocation transfer. The project manager needs that explanation before deciding whether a new order is necessary. ## Records, ownership, and update rules | Record | Owner | Operating rule | | --- | --- | --- | | Approved takeoff | Estimating | Provide the governing measurement revision and phase boundaries. | | Delivery and usable stock | Receiving and warehouse | Record package quantities, condition and location with source references. | | Allocation movement | Inventory owner | Identify material transferred into or out of the project. | | Shortage review | Project manager and procurement | Approve the interpreted shortfall and any resulting purchase decision. | ![Record ownership diagram: Approved takeoff, Delivery and usable stock, Allocation movement](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-diagrams/icp-genies-for-flooring-shortage-reviews-reconcile-takeoffs-delivered-materials-and-installation-phases.webp) *Define the record owner and the rule before enabling updates.* ## Work through the process 1. 01 Set the comparison boundary Ask the Genie to review a named project phase and approved scope revision. Include the required finish and relevant lot constraints. Without that boundary, the agent may combine remaining material for several floors or compare a current requirement with an obsolete takeoff. 2. 02 Gather quantity evidence Collect the approved requirement, received quantities, condition holds, transfers and reported installed area. Require a reference for every amount. Keep a missing record visible as missing; do not fill an unexplained gap with an assumed waste percentage or an invented delivery. 3. 03 Normalize through approved conversions Use the item's reviewed package-to-area conversion and document how rounding is handled. Calculate the comparison outside the model's free-form explanation. The Genie can describe the result and identify inconsistent units, but it should not improvise conversions from similar products. 4. 04 Explain competing causes Produce a short list of evidence-backed explanations for the apparent shortage. A material transfer, damaged delivery and scope increase require different decisions. Show which explanation is confirmed and which needs a field, estimating or warehouse response, so procurement does not solve every discrepancy by ordering more. 5. 05 Prepare the owned next action Send the reviewed shortfall, required date and specification to the buyer only after the project owner accepts the analysis. If the amount remains uncertain, create a focused evidence request instead. Record the decision and resulting purchase or allocation reference so the next review uses the updated state. 6. 06 Keep a surplus from becoming a silent transfer The same comparison may reveal excess material instead of a shortage. Show the supported surplus and its lot, condition and project allocation, then route disposition to the inventory and project owners. Do not automatically move it to another job or assume it is free stock. The original project may still require spare material, final-phase work or a customer handover quantity that is not obvious from installed area alone. ![6-step operating sequence: Flooring shortage review Genie with NetSuite evidence](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-diagrams-mermaid/icp-genies-for-flooring-shortage-reviews-reconcile-takeoffs-delivered-materials-and-installation-phases.webp) *Follow the operating sequence; unresolved exceptions return to a responsible reviewer.* ## Handle the exceptions explicitly ### Installed area is an estimate Label it provisional and ask the field owner to confirm before treating the remaining requirement as exact. ### Boxes moved to another job Show the transfer evidence and route any reallocation through inventory authority. ### Material exists in an unsuitable lot Keep quantity availability and specification suitability separate in the recommendation. ## What to verify before expanding - Every amount in the comparison has a source and unit. - The model cannot invent a conversion or waste allowance. - Confirmed causes and unresolved hypotheses are labeled separately. - A purchase recommendation waits for the project owner's review. ## Connect this process to the rest of your operation [Explore Stacksync AI agents (Genies)](https://www.stacksync.com/ai-agents#genies-job-icp-commercial-flooring-interiors) and scope the records and actions against your actual systems.

It can prepare an evidence-based recommendation after approved conversions and scope rules are applied. Procurement and the project owner decide the order, including lot, timing and commercial constraints. Why not compare ordered and installed totals directly? Orders, receipts, stock condition, transfers and installed area describe different states. Skipping those distinctions can misclassify material still in transit or assigned elsewhere as an unexplained loss. What makes a good test case? Use a phase with a partial delivery, one damaged quantity and one approved scope change. Verify that the agent explains each difference instead of returning a single unsupported shortage number.
