Robotics sourcing
Supply chain software that scales with your production volumes.
Help supply chain teams keep pace with fast-moving hardware programs and help you monitor and scale your supply base as volumes ramp.
23 days of production downtime avoided per year
Scrub BOMs for availability before shortages block your production ramp.
Scale new programs faster
Rapidly select and qualify sources that can scale with you.
Reduce costs by 20%
Identify cost-saving second sources and automate negotiations on tail spend.
Sourcing should not be the bottleneck for deploying robots at scale
Robotics companies move from low-volume builds to production faster than their sourcing processes can support. Purchasers inherit BOM complexity without the tools to manage it.
Prototype sourcing doesn't scale
Early builds sourced ad hoc through distributors can't support production volumes, leaving engineering teams scrambling to rebuild BOMs.
Shortages stop production cold
Unexpected shortages and end-of-life notices for sensors, actuators, and electronics block robots from being built and shipped to customers.
Building cutting-edge robots requires specialized suppliers
Programs requiring specialized sensors, actuators, and electronics require specialized suppliers that are difficult to find and introduce sole-source risk.
Source at production scale without slowing fast-moving teams
Kipo AI helps robotics teams build scaled supply chains - qualifying specialized suppliers, catching shortages early, and keeping procurement aligned as volumes ramp.
Production-scale sourcing and procurement
Transition from ad hoc distributor sourcing to production-scale procurement workflows that support higher build volumes.
Stock and lifecycle monitoring and resolution
Monitor end-of-life and stock/availability issues across your whole BOM to keep production moving smoothly.
Specialized supplier discovery and qualification
Discover suppliers for specialized sensors, actuators, and electronics that are hard to source through standard catalogs and compare their capabilities.
Negotiate with suppliers to reduce cost
AI agents identify cost-saving alternates and negotiate with suppliers to reduce cost and supply chain risk as programs scale.
Automated RFQ and quote comparison
Send RFQs, follow up with vendors, and compare normalized quotes across your supply base without manual spreadsheet work.
Automated purchasing workflows
AI that lives in your ERP system issues purchase orders and follows up with vendors on delivery statuses.
