Tangle | AI-native ERP

Description

Tangle offers the world's first AI-native ERP system that self-customizes for manufacturers, significantly de-risking the transition from traditional systems. Its core innovation is Milo, a native AI engineer that operates within a safe sandbox environment. Milo allows users to shape the ERP around their unique workflows, building new screens, fields, dashboards, automations, and reports. Crucially, all changes can be previewed and tracked through human approval gates before being applied to the live production environment, ensuring controlled and reviewable updates.

Tangle provides enterprise-level depth without the associated complexity and drag. It unites low-code flexibility, AI intelligence, and comprehensive ERP functionality into a single operational platform. Key modules include Quoting & Sales (configure-to-order quotes, visual BOMs, cost rollups, sales orders, shipping, invoices), Work Orders (multi-level with shop floor tracking, photos, costing), Inventory & Purchasing (demand forecasting, lot-level traceability, one-click POs), Scheduling (capacity planning, AI bottleneck review, drag-and-drop adjustments), and BI & Reporting (live dashboards, custom reports, Excel integration). It also offers seamless accounting sync for invoices and purchase orders.

Unlike traditional ERPs that force manufacturers to adapt to fixed workflows, Tangle provides an extensible, AI-native system that evolves with the business. This is particularly beneficial for high-mix manufacturers and job shops. The platform ensures traceable production through lot, location, and QR tag tracking, alongside robust capacity planning and automated work order demand calculations based on live data. Tangle aims to reduce wasted effort, quoting time, and errors, while boosting production efficiency and on-time deliveries.

Targeted at manufacturers in industries such as Metal fabrication, Custom & job shops, Industrial precision, Healthcare & medical, Cosmetics, and Distilleries, Tangle is ideal for businesses seeking flexibility and deep operational control. The platform empowers teams to move operational logic out of spreadsheets and back into a unified ERP system, fostering growth and adaptability.
