AI that works for

Manufacturing & Logistics

Eliminate downtime, optimize inventory, and accelerate fulfillment with AI that predicts problems before they happen and keeps operations running at peak efficiency.
Manufacturing & Logistics - AI transformation in manufacturing & logistics

Why do these challenges exist?

Most manufacturing and logistics operations struggle with reactive maintenance that results in unexpected downtime and expensive emergency repairs. Inventory management remains manual and reactive, leading to stockouts that halt production or excess inventory that ties up working capital. Production scheduling relies on static plans that don't adapt to real-time changes in demand, materials, or equipment availability. Supply chain visibility is fragmented across systems and partners, making it impossible to predict delays or optimize routing until problems have already impacted delivery timelines.

These and more are possible with AI today:

Predictive Operations

Manufacturing leaders are eliminating unplanned downtime by deploying AI that predicts equipment failures, optimizes maintenance schedules, and keeps production lines running at peak efficiency.

Intelligent Inventory & Routing

What used to require manual forecasting and reactive ordering now happens automatically—inventory optimized to real-time demand, shipments routed for fastest delivery, and supply chain exceptions flagged before they impact customers.

The Efficiency Multiplier

The most competitive manufacturers aren't just reducing costs—they're delivering faster with higher quality by orchestrating operations through AI. The gap between AI-optimized and traditional operations is compounding every quarter.

with AI Email Agent Automation

Reduced manual email management & processing time from 9 hours per week to ~55 minutes

4000+ emails processed & drafted per month with AI Email Agent deployed across 55 Sales Reps

Non-Disclosed Company

The Problem

This company manually sorted high-volume email requests, prioritized messages, drafted responses based on past correspondence, and managed call documentation separately. This manual organization and drafting for each inquiry delayed responses and consumed significant time on repetitive tasks.

The Solution

Cadre deployed an email agent with integrated call recording that auto-organizes inboxes, and generates response drafts using historical patterns. The system unifies email threads with call recordings, saving staff 8-9 hours per week allowing them to focus on technical consultation.

with AI Proposal Automation

Cut proposal processing time by more than 50% with AI

20-30 proposal submissions processed automatically every week

Reduced manual processing time from 1-2 days to 20 minutes for all proposal submissions

Non-Disclosed Company

The Problem

This company's proposal team manually copied fixture values, waited on rebate calculations, translated part IDs to descriptions, and looked up prices in guides for each fixture. This process took 1-2 days per proposal option, delaying client estimates and preventing comparison of multiple project scenarios.

The Solution

Cadre deployed AI automation that standardized part IDs for automated price and description lookup, auto-estimates rebates per location, and reduced manual time to just 10% for review. This company now runs multiple proposal options simultaneously, delivering actionable results within an hour instead of days.

"AI now does 90% of every application. That just takes a ton of time off my plate."

with AI Supplier Automation

AI Workflow Automation Cut processing time by 60%

200-300 supplier confirmations processed automatically each day

Reduced manual processing time from 2-6 minutes per ticket to zero for matching orders

Non-Disclosed Company

The Problem

This company processed 200-300 supplier confirmation emails daily across hundreds of suppliers with unique formats. Staff manually extracted data from Zendesk and cross-referenced NetSuite records, spending 2-6 minutes per confirmation on routine verification instead of higher-value work.

The Solution

Cadre deployed AI automation that extracts and matches supplier data against NetSuite records, automatically confirming orders when data aligns. The system flags exceptions for human review at 90% accuracy, cutting processing time by more than half and freeing staff to focus on customer service.
