The world is getting more complex and dynamic than ever before. China, climate, elections, trade wars, bureaucracy. Yet manufacturing, our hidden gem, is struggling to evolve. Often overlooked: the supply chain. Hundreds of tightly interconnected suppliers, thousands of production-critical parts, global dependencies. Yet procurement is expected to manage this complexity with Excel and Outlook, static ERP systems, and outdated supplier data. That no longer works. More than 50% of the cost of a physical product is created in the supply chain. Competitive manufacturing therefore starts in procurement. AI offers the opportunity to optimally balance time, cost, and quality in procurement. That’s why Tacto is building the first Procurement Intelligence Platform for industrial companies: not another workflow tool, but a system that creates transparency, delivers actionable recommendations, and enables execution - with procurement as the decision-maker at the center. Powered by Tacto Intelligence, you see your procurement operations at a glance: KPIs, suppliers, and real-time order and material movements. In the background, Tacto connects your ERP data with external market data to form the Procurement Brain. On top of that, AI agents automate manual work, identify risks and savings opportunities, and provide precise recommendations. Automated workflows turn these signals into action - delivering measurable results: lower costs, better quality, and higher availability.
