Manufacturing & industrial suppliers

Your company, reachable by AI — answers before the first call

Purchasing departments increasingly shortlist suppliers through AI assistants before anyone picks up a phone. If your capabilities, certifications and capacities aren't machine-readable, you are simply not in that shortlist — however good your shop floor is.

What this costs a supplier today

  • Your website was built for humans in 2016 and says almost nothing a model can quote: no tolerances, no batch sizes, no certifications in text.
  • Every RFQ arrives as an email that someone has to qualify by hand, and most of them aren't a fit.
  • Buyers ask the same twenty questions — materials, minimum order, lead time, ISO status — and your team answers them one by one.
  • You only learn about a tender when it's already been sent to three competitors.

What a Twin changes

Answers the qualifying questions, with sources

Your twin learns from your website and the documents you upload — spec sheets, certificates, capability lists — and answers on materials, tolerances, batch sizes, certifications and lead times, citing where each answer came from. Anything it doesn't know, it says so and hands to a human.

Pre-qualifies the RFQ before it reaches your desk

When a buyer states a need, the twin collects what matters — what, how many, by when, for which market — and hands your team a brief instead of a transcript: who they are, what they want, budget and timing, and the open points.

Reachable by other companies' agents

Your twin is discoverable inside ChatGPT and Claude and through the Agent Card, so a buyer's agent can evaluate fit directly. That is the channel where supplier shortlists are increasingly assembled.

Verified identity, which purchasing actually checks

Prove domain ownership and record your legal form and register number. Procurement's first question — is this a real company — is answered before a human is involved. Swiss and EU hosting under FADP and GDPR.

What your buyers ask an AI assistant
  • Which CNC suppliers in Switzerland handle small batch runs?
  • Who can machine titanium to ±0.01 mm in the DACH region?
  • Find an ISO 9001 certified contract manufacturer with capacity this quarter

If your company can't be read by a model, the answer names someone else.

Questions we get asked

Our specifications live in PDFs, not on the website. Does that work?

Yes — upload them. PDFs, DOCX, spreadsheets exported as CSV and plain text all become part of the twin's knowledge, and every answer cites the source document.

We don't want to publish prices. Can the twin still be useful?

Yes. You control what goes into the knowledge base. Most suppliers publish capabilities and certifications, keep pricing out, and let the twin collect the enquiry so a human can quote.

Will it promise a delivery date we can't hold?

No. By default the twin is not authorised to make binding commitments: it presents figures and timelines as indicative and defers to your team for written confirmation. Binding statements have to be explicitly enabled by the owner.

How long does setup take?

About a minute to point it at your website. Uploading documents and reviewing what it learned is an afternoon, not a project.
