{"id":99597,"title":"ERPNow: The AI Analyst for Supply Chain \u0026 ERP","tagline":"turn tons of operational data into real-time operational insights and future revenue","body":"Hey everyone! We're Rachel and Kimi, the founders of CambioML. We are excited to introduce **ERPNow**.\n\n🚀 **TL;DR**\n\nERPNow is an AI analyst that sits on top of your existing ERP (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite) to turn tons of operational data into real-time operational insights and future revenue. It doesn’t just show you charts; it detects risks, explains root causes in plain language, and recommends exactly what to do next.\n\n❌ **The Problem**\n\nSupply chain teams are drowning in data but starving for insights. Traditional ERP systems are powerful but static—reports are slow, forecasts break the moment reality changes, and analysts spend weeks answering \"why did this happen?\" instead of \"what should we do next?\" By the time an exception is surfaced in a dashboard, the damage (stockouts or delays) is often already done.\n\n🛠️ **Our Solution**\n\nERPNow acts as an intelligent layer over your ERP, WMS, and spreadsheets. It provides:\n\n* **Real-time Risk Detection:** Monitors your supply chain 24/7 to surface anomalies (like a supplier delay or demand spike) the moment they appear.\n* **Plain-Language Root Cause Analysis:** Ask \"Why is this SKU at risk?\" and get a cited answer explaining that a specific supplier lead time increased by 40%, rather than just seeing a red bar on a chart.\n* **Actionable Recommendations:** It suggests specific fixes—like transferring inventory between warehouses or expediting a PO—to prevent issues before they escalate.\n* **Zero Workflow Disruption:** No ERP replacement required. It’s read-only by default and deploys in weeks, not quarters.\n\nYou can find a demo here: \u003chttps://youtu.be/fnV2vXpkq4k\u003e\\\n\\\n🧑‍🏫 **Meet Our Team**\n\n* **Rachel Hu, CEO:** Former ML scientist at AWS AI, UC Berkeley alum, Forbes 30 Under 30.\n* **Kimi Kong, CTO:** Former research engineer at Google DeepMind, Microsoft \u0026 AWS; Stanford alum.\n\n📖 **Our Story**\n\nAfter building [Energent.ai](http://Energent.ai) to handle general data analysis, we realized that supply chain and operations teams faced the most \"messy\" data challenges. ERP systems are often black boxes. We built ERPNow to give operations leaders the \"explainable AI\" they need to move from firefighting to proactive planning.\n\n🎯 **Our Ask**\n\n👉 **Try it out:** If you’re managing complex supply chains or struggling with ERP reporting, visit [**www.erpnow.io**](http://www.erpnow.io).\n\n👉 **Get a Demo:** Reach out directly to [**admin@cambioml.com**](mailto:admin@cambioml.com) to see how we can sit on top of your specific ERP setup.\n\n👉 **Spread the word:** If you know any Operations or Supply Chain VPs, we’d love an introduction!\n\nCheers,\n\nThe ERPNow Team ❤️","slug":"PuP-erpnow-the-ai-analyst-for-supply-chain-erp","created_at":"2026-04-09T18:42:59.948Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T03:02:35.232Z","total_vote_count":8,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/PuP-erpnow-the-ai-analyst-for-supply-chain-erp","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":28981,"name":"CambioML","slug":"cambioml","url":"https://energent.ai/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/4c2936168c1d24afabd8456dc03d4a2255c01c1f.png","batch":"Summer 2023","industry":"B2B","tags":["Productivity","Big Data","Automation","AI Assistant"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/28981"}}
