Our take
Maintaining a seamless supply chain is essential to the success of most businesses, with procurement teams being responsible for sourcing new suppliers, analyzing inventory data, and generating forecasts. However, analyzing such data requires the repetitive and specialist work of data engineers for both parties, making the sourcing process time-consuming.
Craft.co provides a procurement and supply chain analytics platform, integrating with other supply chain platforms to track inventories and produce forecasts. The platform allows users to save and organize thousands of suppliers in a portfolio, and source new suppliers in minutes based on over 450 data points, leveraging automatic insights to assess for risk and ensure requirements are met.
The main challenge Craft.co will face is the range of AI-driven supply chain analytics platforms appearing on the market, but the company uniquely combines such technology with a real-time analytics-driven procurement marketplace. Furthermore, Craft.co's 2023 round of funding will help it to rocket-boost its new focus on analytic, cloud-based collaboration, and management workflow capabilities.
