Our take
The manufacturing industry is growing increasingly complex, with companies juggling large inventories, multiple suppliers, and intricate supply chains. Founded in 2017, CADDi is using AI to make manufacturing smarter and more efficient, turning scattered design and supply chain data into actionable insights for industries from automotive to robotics.
CADDi's platform identifies duplicate or similar parts, helping manufacturers streamline procurement, consolidate suppliers, and cut costs. Teams can search parts using keywords or design specs, reducing reliance on veteran employees' knowledge. And companies like Subaru and DENSO have reported major time saving and faster sourcing, showing just how transformative CADDi's AI really is.
The company's growth reflects its impact and ambition too. After raising over $200M in venture funding and deepening its partnership with Google Cloud, CADDI is expanding its US presence and doubling its engineering team. It's also been recognized by Fast Company as one of the Most Innovative Companies in 2024, and now is targeting $1B in revenue by 2030, its ambitious but CADDi sure is shaping the future of manufacturing with AI.
