Company profile
researched Aug 2026Kaya (usekaya.ai) provides a software platform for supply chain and procurement work on mission-critical construction projects. It combines three functions that are typically handled in separate tools: procurement, owner-furnished contractor-installed (OFCI) equipment tracking, and last-mile delivery coordination. The company frames the underlying problem as disconnected systems, where procurement sits in one tool, equipment tracking in email threads, and delivery coordination over the phone, creating hand-offs where data is lost and delays begin.
The product is marketed around an AI agent named Amber, which manages procurement, tracks equipment, and coordinates deliveries. Kaya writes RFPs, tracks owner-furnished equipment from order through installation, flags risk before it becomes a delay, and builds and updates project timelines automatically as submittals, bids, and deliveries progress. For last-mile delivery, partners submit requests through a live calendar and AI agents handle scheduling, conflicts, and follow-ups in the background. The platform is designed so decisions in procurement carry into equipment tracking and equipment status carries into delivery scheduling, avoiding re-entry of data across tools, and to work on top of tools teams already use.
Business model
Kaya sells a software platform to construction project and supply chain teams, positioned around deploying its AI agent, Amber, with prospective customers directed to book a demo or "hire Amber."
