Every year, manufacturing companies spend $500B on materials to keep their facilities up and running. ERP systems have a gap where parts data becomes hard to manage leading to millions of dollars in overstocked inventory. We reduce this working capital within the supply chain, which for the typical Fortune 1000 company equates to $40-60M of savings. We improve reliability and continuously monitor inventory data to create just-in-time suggestions with cost related outcomes to automate procurement, and move faster to industry 4.0 (additive manufacturing, IoT integration, Blockchain). Our neural AI cleanses parts data with 99% accuracy and 1000x the speed of human. The quality of the data remains controlled to predict inventory reduction and usage related outcomes and eliminate data silos created by multiple facilities. This provides a fast, measurable, and significant ROI as well as a complete view spend across the enterprise. Our team and key advisors spent over 40 years in the supply chain working with manufacturing companies who accept waste in their indirect supply chain as a necessary reality. After personally experiencing the metadata problems causing these issues throughout the years, our team combined our channel and technical experience to bring a frontier technology solution to the industry.
