One Email Unsent - That’s all it could take for the global supply chain to crash

The way to manage a supply chain has not changed since the invention of E-Mail and Excel.

What’s the problem?

For your ordered Tesla to be produced, there are thousands of suppliers that need to be coordinated so that a single bolt missing does not halt $billions of production.

However, today, procurement teams manage this coordination through email, spreadsheets, PDFs (and, horrifyingly, sometimes even WhatsApp).

This means there are tons of supply chain disruptions not caught on time because an email or spreadsheet was not sent to or from the supplier.

This year, due to supply chain disruptions, businesses will lose over $1.6 Trillion

So how do we fix this?

Mandel AI is building autonomous supply chain agents that plug into the email and ERP of manufacturers to create a real-time, self-updating source of truth for your supply chain. Our AI-powered procurement agents:

  • Proactively email suppliers for order updates
  • Surface supply chain disruptions and extract supplier updates (like lead times & price updates) from emails
  • Save 20+ hours per week per team member

Why It Matters

Procurement teams spend up to 80% of their time manually emailing suppliers for RFQs and PO update requests, leading to production delays and miscommunications that can result in millions or billions in lost sales. As Covid proved, in today's global supply chain, real-time visibility and rapid response to issues are critical for the business and the end consumer.

We have already processed $50M+ in material spend and 40,000+ email threads.
