SUPPLYCO AI, a New York-based startup, has launched the first AI agent platform purpose-built for industrial manufacturers and distributors. The platform uses AI models trained on manufacturing terminology and buying signals to help equipment OEMs and their dealer networks identify high-intent buyers, automate outreach, and close more business as the U.S. reindustrializes.

Why it matters

As the U.S. invests heavily in reshoring manufacturing, SUPPLYCO addresses a critical bottleneck by connecting equipment makers building domestic production capacity with the factories that need their machines. Existing sales intelligence tools were not designed for the industrial equipment buying cycle, so SUPPLYCO's manufacturing-specific approach fills an important gap.

The details

SUPPLYCO's platform monitors over 15 data sources using AI models trained on manufacturing terminology and buying signals to identify purchase intent from factors like company expansions, RFQs, workforce changes, facility investments, and government awards. It then scores and ranks prospects based on technical fit, purchase readiness, and revenue potential. The platform also enables automated customer nurturing, distributor collaboration, and CRM integration with market intelligence.

  • SUPPLYCO AI launched its platform in February 2026.
