When a machine stops on a factory floor it can cost tens of thousands of euros per hour. The spare part that would have fixed it in minutes was either out of stock buried in the wrong warehouse or never planned for. This is one of the most expensive most overlooked problems in industrial operations and its been managed with spreadsheets and gut feel for decades.
PartsCloud is changing that. Our AI platform PartsOS turns the messy fragmented ERP data of real factories into spare-parts plans that run in production every day. Porsche Motorsport Schunk Coperion Glaston and Elopak already run on PartsOS. We operate from Stuttgart and Berlin were growing fast and the category is still wide open.
If you join us now youre one of the people who decides what this company becomes.
