Deep Supply Chain Expertise Meets Enterprise AI

We are builders, engineers, and supply chain veterans united by a single goal: removing the guesswork from the world's most complex automotive networks.

Our Mission

We're solving for the $30B of waste generated every year in the Automotive Industry due to Supply Chain volatility. We've created the world's first Agentic AI system purpose-built for the Automotive supply network.

Our Vision

We envision a future where flow is brought back into the workflow for >50,000 planners & operators. We see harmonization across the automotive supply network driving a radical boost in profit & efficiency, leading to a dramatic reduction of the industry's carbon footprint.

Why "SupplyWhy"?

Our experience building enterprise AI products has taught us that knowing "what" isn't enough... to truly deliver value, we need the "why". Explainable insights put the power back in your team's hands.
