The challenge.

  • Manufacturers were running procurement on email threads, PDF POs and chased supplier spreadsheets, producing blind spots across hundreds of open orders.
  • Late deliveries cascaded into production delays, yet nobody on the factory floor knew until the part failed to arrive.
  • The client needed a single system of record for POs, suppliers and delivery commitments, with automation so buyers stopped spending half their week sending reminder emails.

Our approach.

  • Built a supplier portal and buyer workspace in React on a Django REST Framework API backed by PostgreSQL.
  • Introduced AI-driven follow-ups that parse supplier replies and update order status automatically.
  • Modelled POs, suppliers and delivery commitments as one connected system of record.
  • Surfaced delivery-risk signals so supply-chain leads can see which lines are likely to miss commit dates ahead of time.

The outcome.

  • A single source of truth for POs, commitments and supplier conversations.
  • Buyers spend their time resolving exceptions instead of chasing status.
  • Production teams can see the real delivery picture without pinging procurement.

Where AI fits in manufacturing & industrial.

Assistants that answer engineers' questions from manuals and maintenance history, visual quality checks, and procurement workflows that draft, compare and route supplier documents.

Explore AI development
One of their strengths is quickly building out a multi-disciplinary team to work on the development and delivery of features with different technical requirements. Their support has allowed us to accelerate our development work without building an internal team. They have also worked seamlessly with other third parties both during the acquisition of Dragonfly and development of our mobile app.
