Point a document parser at incident reporting, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at property management owner-operators, unbundling the one module people actually use.
A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes pricing. Aimed at facilities ops teams, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
Field reporting handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at logistics fleet owners, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
A retrieval engine that handles training & competency end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at logistics fleet owners, finding what the inspector would find, first.
Point an anomaly detector at renewal management, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at logistics dispatchers, starting from data the business already produces.
Warranty & returns handled by a classifier, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at logistics dispatchers, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.
Point a document parser at onboarding, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at logistics ops teams, surfacing the exposure nobody has priced.
A narrow anomaly detector scoped to margin monitoring alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at property management maintenance leads, built for one person, not a department.
Point an anomaly detector at inventory planning, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at property management maintenance leads, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
A narrow forecasting model scoped to quoting & estimating alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at facilities facilities directors, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
