After-hours procurement copilot that sits on existing ERPs and captures the 18:00–06:00 RFQ window manufacturers currently lose to distributors.

Market

Mid-market discrete manufacturers, 200–2,000 employees, Midwest and South. They already buy; they just buy badly after the office closes.

Architecture

Inbound email and EDI land on an event bus. A bid composer drafts responses with human-in-the-loop above $40k. Settles against the plant’s existing vendor master — no new buying entity.

Execution

47 plants live, 12 in onboarding. Expansion is a playbook: connector, two weeks of shadow bidding, then overnight autonomy with a 07:00 exception queue.

Stress-test

  • 31% of GMV still sits with four accounts — scale is gated on logos, not product.
  • Epicor connector p95 latency 4.8s; bid composer times out on multiline kits.
  • 1.8% GMV take-rate is sticky; raising to 2.1% churned a single plant in trial.
