Our take

Supply chains act as the unseen motor of the modern world, providing the materials for almost everything in our daily lives. The importance of material procurement within the supply chain is more important than ever before, and teams in this market are at a breaking point, dealing with larger orders and filtering through unstructured information. Magentic remedies this with its AI agent built for the supply chain industry.

Through its AI teammates - Mages - Magentic helps manufacturing procurement teams track down and save money on purchases, removing a long-winded research step for the time-pressed supply chain market. Through a pipeline of research, order error correction, automated messaging and compliance reporting, Magentic removes what is often a manual and arduous step in the procurement cycle.

With 2025 bringing in new funding for Magentic, the company is scaling its operations and saving time and money for global manufacturers.
