Perspix.ai. Built for the decision.

Mission

The biggest decision, the worst process.

At most industrial companies, the largest line item by far is what they buy from suppliers. Three to five times the R&D budget at a car company. Six times the headcount cost.

And the decision of which supplier — the actual moment of evaluation — happens in a spreadsheet.

In the last four years we've watched awards north of a hundred million euros where decision prep meant emailing the bid PDFs to India to be pasted into Excel, the spreadsheet shipped back to Germany, then a team of engineers assessing each line by hand — against yet another stack of PDFs. We've been asked to rebuild decisions customers had already made, because nothing was written down. We've seen customer-supplier relationships break over phrases like "the industrial PC must be from a famous brand" — six months in, no one can agree what that sentence ever meant.

Today, most of an expert's time in this process goes to that kind of preparation — moving documents, transcribing requirements, comparing lines against lines. The decision itself, the part the expert is paid for, gets what's left.

The people inside the work know it. They can't fix it from where they sit.

And whatever fixes this has to live where the data lives. Industrial customers don't ship bid books, supplier pricing, or award rationale to a vendor's cloud to be processed. The model has to come to the data — inside the customer's perimeter. Not the other way around.

Perspix is the response.

The decision is the work. Everything else — the prep, the data shuffling, the reconstruction six months later — is around the work. We're here to flip that. Most of the expert's time on the decision itself. The rest, review.

Sourcing without friction.
