Built for the parts of the supply chain managers job that eat a Tuesday.
Every supply chain managers team we've worked with has a different definition of "broken".
By the numbers
Canada's overall AI usage sits at 4.37x its expected level, with Singapore leading at 5.53x.
Adoption is already well ahead of the curve, and the edge goes to whoever turns it into a concrete workflow first.

Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*

What changes for supply chain managers week to week
Supply Chain Managers sits within Management & Leadership, one of the sectors we build production AI for.
- Draft strategy and planning docs
- Summarise across teams and reports
- Prepare board and client updates
- Turn meetings into actions
Good questions, answered
When does AI actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a supply chain managers team - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
How do you price AI engagements?
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most Supply Chain Managers are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Draft strategy and planning docs, Summarise across teams and reports, Prepare board and client updates, Turn meetings into actions but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
Can you work to the NZISM?
The NZISM is the government's information security manual and is written for vendors serving agencies as well as the agencies themselves, so government-adjacent work should be built to it.
What does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
