The problem
A missing overnight file is noticed only when a job fails
Batch jobs and trading partners drop files on FTP overnight, and nothing tells you when one is missing. Someone checks every folder by hand each morning, and a file that never arrived is often found only when a downstream job fails.
Without PopdockAI
- Log in to FTP every morning
- Open each expected folder
- Compare file dates by hand
- Find the gap when a job fails
With PopdockAI
- Run the saved morning check from your AI client
- Files that landed since your date are listed per folder
- Folders with no new files stand out as gaps
- Admin set folders keep it consistent, and nothing is changed
Who it's for
One answer, three teams that use it
IT operations
Check overnight drops in one step
One request shows which expected folders received files, so you start the day knowing what is missing.
Run the morning FTP arrival check for files since 10 pm last night.
Integration engineers
Catch a missing partner file early
Gaps stand out before the import job runs, so you can chase the partner first.
Did the Contoso and Fabrikam order files arrive on FTP since yesterday at 6 pm?
Finance operations
Make sure bank files arrived
Confirm the overnight bank and payment files landed before reconciliation starts.
Check whether the bank statement folders on FTP got new files since Friday evening.
