Top Tech Startups in Northern California in 2024

Distribution is one of the most important parts of the world economy –– without it, goods would never flow from manufacturers to consumers. Last year, North American distributors alone did over $6 trillion in revenue. Even so, the technology that exists to support distributors is, in a word, stagnated. How can we bring better technology to one of the world's most important industries? Product Our product is an automated enterprise resource planner extension (ERP) for distributors. Today, ERP systems function as the core operational infrastructure of most distributors. Every function that a distributor assumes begins and ends in their ERP––from purchasing to inventory management, from sales to accounting. The ERP’s centrality to each business process is a blessing and a curse. Having everything in one spot simplifies workflows, but it also means that inefficiencies multiply across millions or even billions of dollars of transactions. Our product exists to give people the best of both worlds. Recurrency is the world's first enterprise optimization system (EOS), a machine learning application that integrates with legacy ERPs like SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, or Epicor, to provide the user with recommendations on how to better buy, manage, price, and sell their inventory, all without breaking the single-source-of-truth. Our customers are wholesalers and distributors, ranging from family-owned companies to the Fortune 500.
