When the answer is missing
The question goes on to the right person, with everything already gathered.
How it works
An answer is never better than the data behind it. We structure it into the Foundation, an asset only you have.
The ways to ask, the areas and your systems. Everything rests on the Foundation.
The same answer whatever the channel, always with a source.
If it does not find the answer, the question goes on to the right person.
The Foundation
Product sheets as PDFs from the supplier. Part numbers in the ERP and in a spreadsheet, under different names. Error codes in a binder. Price lists in an email thread from last spring. Drawings where the dimension sits in the title block.
The answer to the customer's question is almost always somewhere. The problem is that it takes an experienced person and plenty of time to find it. We put it in order, without anything disappearing.
We identify what every document contains and link it to its source. The same part under five names becomes one record, and older material is dated instead of thrown away.
The integrations keep the Foundation up to date. New documents and changes land in the right place from day one.
On top of the Foundation, the solution is trained in your language: what a suffix means, which version applies, where the answer is fetched from.
The Foundation
Every dot is something you already have. Every line is a connection: what replaced what, what fits what, which version applies.

The same item sits in the ERP, in a spreadsheet, in the supplier's PDF and in an email thread, under four different names. Here it is one record, with everything that belongs to it.
One category. Versions, suffixes and replacement chains going back ten years, plus the question that comes round every week.
One order. The customer, the agreement, the history and what is on backorder, with the alternative that can actually ship today.
