Company profile
researched Aug 2026Glacis develops AI agents for supply chain operations at manufacturers and distributors. The agents are grouped into four functional areas: procurement and sourcing (purchase order confirmation, RFQ, supplier compliance, sourcing and supplier risk assessment), order intake (customer order intake, order validation and order status), transportation (document processing, freight coordination, carrier pricing and RFQ, carrier performance, multimodal orchestration and transit coordination) and finance operations (invoice audit and payment reconciliation).
The agents work in parallel on tasks such as following up on PO confirmations, resolving shipment issues and validating customer orders, writing results back into the customer's systems of record. In procurement, agents raise and confirm orders, chase outstanding responses and keep supplier records current so buyers handle exceptions rather than routine queue work. In order intake, agents read incoming orders in whatever format they arrive, check them against catalogue and pricing data and book them. Transportation agents monitor ocean, air and road shipments and flag those at risk of missing commitments, while finance agents match invoices against orders and receipts and route discrepancies to the responsible party.
The company positions the product as requiring no process changes or new tools, with go-live in weeks, and states that agents follow customers' existing SOPs at team, partner and flow level, learn account-specific standing rules, and improve with each order and shipment processed.
Business model
Glacis sells an AI agent platform to enterprise supply chain organisations, deploying agents that operate inside customers' existing systems and workflows rather than requiring replacement tooling. The public site directs prospects to schedule a call, indicating a direct enterprise sales motion; pricing is not disclosed in the available material.
Traction
The site cites named customers Arena and Diebold Nixdorf, with case studies describing a 78% reduction in inbound supply chain disruptions at Arena, 89% autonomous PO confirmation within two months at Arena, and zero manual PO follow-ups for a 25-person procurement team at Diebold Nixdorf. Additional unnamed deployments include a $10B European manufacturer with a 12-ERP landscape migrating to S/4HANA and a $300M manufacturer coordinating partial deliveries and schedule line updates in the first week. Aggregate company-reported outcomes include 74% fewer errors on average and up to 88% of team time freed.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market
Market position
Glacis operates in the supply chain execution and automation software market alongside established platforms it also integrates with, including E2open, Coupa, Kinaxis, Blue Yonder, FourKites and project44, positioning itself as an agentic automation layer over existing ERP and TMS systems rather than a system of record.
Glacis emphasises adaptation to a customer's existing processes and system landscape instead of a fixed template: agents follow customer-specific SOPs including undocumented exceptions, read and write across multiple ERP generations simultaneously (including legacy on-premises systems), understand supply chain domain semantics without field mapping, and refine behaviour with each transaction. Deployment is described as taking weeks with no process changes.
Technology
AI agents that integrate with existing enterprise systems - ERP, TMS, SRM, email and supplier portals - over API, EDI or file transfer, in cloud or on-premises environments. Supported and referenced systems include SAP R/3 4.6C, SAP ECC 6.0, SAP S/4HANA, Infor M3, Infor CloudSuite, Oracle EBS, Oracle Fusion, JD Edwards E1, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Microsoft Teams, Coupa, Kinaxis, Blue Yonder, E2open, FourKites and project44. The agents ingest customer master data and are described as natively handling supply chain semantics such as schedule lines, rolled containers, partial deliveries and consolidation, and as adapting to customer tolerances and reply styles over time. Security and compliance posture includes ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and single-tenant VPC deployment.
Go-to-market
Direct enterprise sales via scheduled calls with prospects, supported by published customer case studies, benchmark reports and research aimed at supply chain leaders, and a trust center documenting SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance for enterprise buyers.
Global manufacturers and distributors and their procurement, order management, transportation and finance operations teams. Referenced deployments range from a $200M distributor to a $20B global manufacturer, and include a 25-person procurement team at Diebold Nixdorf, a $10B European manufacturer running 12 ERPs, and a $300M manufacturer.
