Firstshift AI的动态

I just got an update from Hari Menon about goings on at Firstshift.ai, and . . . Suffice it to say, I can't wait till the team decides it's time to go public with what they are doing for their customers in Consumer Packaged Goods. How does $90,000,000 of savings sound? Savings that falls straight to your bottomline. Sound too good to be true? It isn't. I would know; I prepared and delivered an entire lecture on exactly such a scenario to my students at NYU Tandon School of Engineering. But there is more; The same platform enables you to capture more top-line revenue without investing more in sales and marketing. There's a reason the world's most financially successful companies are also those that invest the most in Supply Chain Innovation & Technology. As I keep saying; We look for the people we believe are doing the best work in Industrial Transformation & Supply Chain Technology; Attempting the impossible. Then we go all-in on them. With obsessive, unreasonable, and irrational enthusiasm.

Memo: Meet the 50 Industrial Transformation & Supply Chain Technology Startups REFASHIOND Ventures: The Industrial Transformation Fund has backed since September 2021 (#50StartupsIn50Days #REFASHIOND50) Startup: Partsimony Count: 26 of 50 Brief Description: Partsimony is building a platform to help hardware manufacturers connect and collaborate across the various tiers of their manufacturing supply chain. Investment Rationale: Manufacturing supply chains have entered a new paradigm where uncertainty is the norm. Partsimony is enabling hardware companies to build intelligent manufacturing supply chains that excel in this new paradigm by combining engineering design data with manufacturing supply chain data for superior recommendation systems and results. Partsimony has already demonstrated compelling results — helping organizations save up to 96% in cost reductions and months in lead time. As time evolves, the platform serves as a means of vendor discovery and engagement during periods of supply chain disruption. #ObsessivelyEnthusiasticInvestor #UnreasonablyEnthusiasticInvestor We look for the people we believe are doing the best work in Industrial Transformation & Supply Chain Technology; Attempting the impossible.

Memo: Meet the 50 Industrial Transformation & Supply Chain Technology Startups REFASHIOND Ventures: The Industrial Transformation Fund has backed since September 2021 (#50StartupsIn50Days #REFASHIOND50) Startup: Ceres Technology Count: 33 of 50 Brief Description: Ceres Technology uses internal and external data to help companies predict upstream disruptions in their supply chains, up to months in advance. The platform can also: Determine which specific suppliers are most at risk; Pinpoint the reason and severity of a delay; Proactively mitigate the disruption by identifying potential alternatives, and; Lower the amount of inventory safety stock that its customers need to hold. Investment Rationale: The problems Ceres Technology solves are particularly important for multinational companies with complex supply chain networks since such companies can suffer both large one-time costs and significant ongoing costs due to unforeseen supply chain shocks. In "The Business Costs of Supply Chain Disruption" the authors identify 11 factors that lead to supply chain disruptions and that survey respondents expect to worsen over the next 5 years. #ObsessivelyEnthusiasticInvestor #UnreasonablyEnthusiasticInvestor We look for the people we believe are doing the best work in Industrial Transformation & Supply Chain Technology; Attempting the impossible.
