Value proposition

AI operating system that layers over existing ERP systems (no migration needed) to automate supply chain workflows for pharma and chemical SMEs, capturing institutional knowledge from an aging workforce while keeping humans in control of decisions.

Products and solutions

AI Operating System for Pharma & Chemical Supply Chains — an application layer over existing ERP systems (SAP S/4HANA, SAP R/3, Microsoft D365, Infor, Applus). Modules: (1) Customer Service / Order Intake (live pilot) — AI agents handle order entry, email sorting, ERP transaction creation, master data enrichment, (2) Production Planning (coming soon), (3) Material Planning (coming soon), (4) Procurement (coming soon). Human-in-the-loop design: AI assists, people decide.

Unique value
