Kodiact

Manufacturing has a trillion-dollar blind spot. Global enterprises spend 35-60% of revenue on direct raw materials. Yet the decisions governing that exposure still run on annual category plans, fragmented ERPs, and manual data work that consumes ~70% of every buyer's day. When a commodity moves, most leadership teams can't calculate the product-level margin impact until it's already embedded in the P&L. Kodiact changes that. We are the decision intelligence layer for direct materials -- turning labor-intensive category management into always-on software that grounds every decision in your own data and captures the judgment of your best buyers. Four things we do that didn't exist before: - Living Category Strategy -- connected to commodity prices, supplier signals, contract cliffs and demand. When an assumption breaks, buyers are alerted. When a signal lands, priorities re-rank. - Auditable Judgement -- every buy, override, and decision is captured with the context that shaped it. Institutional knowledge compounds instead of walking out the door. - EBIT Impact -- real-time margin-at-risk by product, not just by category. CFO and CPO work from the same numbers. - Agentic Execution -- agents that shortlist suppliers, draft offers, parse responses, and negotiate within your guardrails. Weeks of cycle time become minutes. Outcomes: 6-9% raw material cost improvement. 100-150 bps sustained margin expansion. 2-3x more spend managed per category manager.
