The Intelligence Layer for Manufacturing.

Korso builds AI agents that handle the operational work manufacturers still do manually, including processing RFQs, following up on quotes, coordinating with suppliers, and keeping production on track when things go wrong. Our agents plug into your existing ERP and CRM, understand your workflows, and act on your behalf: triaging incoming requests, chasing delayed orders, notifying customers, and escalating when human judgment is needed. We built Korso around the reality that enterprise systems cannot afford mistakes. Every agent action passes through verification layers, tools are scoped, and critical operations go through dry-run validation and secondary review. Full audit trails mean you can see exactly what was done, why, and when. Most AI automation breaks down at the ERP integration layer. Korso's orchestration is built for the messiness of real manufacturing systems, with long-running workflows that span weeks and checkpointing that never loses progress. Instead of replacing your systems, Korso makes them work harder, so your team spends less time on coordination and more time on the work that actually matters.

TL;DR: Manufacturers are buried in coordination work that is well-defined but still manual. Korso lets them describe those workflows in plain English and deploy autonomous agents that run across their existing systems.

The Problem

Ops, procurement, and customer-service teams at manufacturers spend the majority of their week on coordination that is clearly defined but never automated:

  • Chasing suppliers for ETAs
  • Processing incoming RFQs
  • Routing PO approvals
  • Monitoring order exceptions
  • Following up on stale opportunities

Every person on one of these teams could write down the exact steps for the task, and yet nobody has built the thing that runs those steps reliably at scale.

The tooling around this problem is stuck in a half-finished state:

  • ERP-native AI answers questions about ERP data; it doesn’t execute the multi-step workflows that sit between the data and the work getting done.
  • Middleware and iPaaS connect systems but don’t make decisions.
  • Systems integrators custom-code workflows that take quarters to ship and break when a process changes.
  • BPO adds variable cost and leaves the underlying coordination fragmented.

When a manufacturer adds a product line, a new region, or a new supplier tier, the coordination load scales linearly, and so does the headcount requirement.

What We Built

Atlas generates autonomous coordination agents on top of the ERP systems manufacturers already run: SAP, NetSuite, Oracle, Dynamics 365, Odoo, and more.

A workflow that today takes a quarter to custom-code or an ongoing BPO contract to staff is, on Atlas, described in plain English and stood up as a running agent in hours.

Workflows We’ve Deployed

Procurement & Supplier Coordination

Chases supplier responses, confirms ETAs, routes PO approvals, and escalates exceptions before they become missed deliveries.

RFQ to Quote

Parses incoming RFQs from email or portal, prices against history and current cost, drafts and routes quotes for approval, and tracks through to response.

Order & Exception Handling

Monitors order status across ERP and transport systems, surfaces exceptions before they escalate, and maintains a complete audit trail.

Natural Language to Workflow

Turn any manual process into automation simply by prompting an agent.

Our Ask:

If you know any manufacturer with a coordination-heavy ops or procurement team, we’d love to talk! Feel free to book a demo at korsoai.com or reach out to support@korsoai.com
