The Background

As one of the world’s Top 100 industrial supplies companies, the brand serves global manufacturing, construction, and energy customers with thousands of MRO and safety SKUs. Volatile costs and regional demand needed a unified AI-powered pricing and inventory intelligence platform. Manual benchmarking and quoting slowed response times, caused margin leakage, and tied up cash in slow-moving stock.
