UpBrains AI

AI agents for supply chain & distribution

The AI operations layer for distributors

Your orders, invoices, CoAs, and SDSs arrive through your channels and land in your systems of record, ERP included. Agents work both ways. Your team takes the exceptions.

Built for distributors and manufacturers who run on shared inboxes, portals, EDI, and an ERP.

Trusted by leading distributors and manufacturers

How it fits together

One integrated product to run your operations

Your solutions rest on two hubs, and both rest on the systems you already run.

One product, two hubs

Start with prebuilt operations hubs and agents. Customize to fit your business

Everything ships ready to run, and every part of it is yours to change.

Build in the Automation Hub. Run in the Operations Hub.

Automation Hub

Build and publish the AI agents and agent systems that encode your business logic: extraction, matching, approvals, ERP writes.

Operations Hub

Run the business on top of them: live transactions, stages, exceptions, and human-in-the-loop approvals in the Quote to Cash (Q2C), Procure to Pay (P2P), and Quality Management (QM) centers.

One product: agents built in one hub do the work your team supervises in the other.

  • Sales & Service Inbox

    Nobody owns it. The work arrives as attachments in a shared inbox, and it waits there for a person.

    Part of the Agent Center

  • Supplier Invoice Processing

    5–8% of supplier and freight invoices carry a billing error: money overpaid, or never billed back to the customer

    Part of the Procure to Pay (P2P) Center

  • CoA Processing & Generation

    79% of companies have no automation for the supplier quality documents they receive

    Part of the Quality Management (QM) Center

  • SDS Processing & Generation

    Every revision means re-papering an SDS by hand, and manual chasing never keeps up.

Still deciding whether this is for you

Most of what goes wrong is decided before anyone builds anything

A Gartner prediction and an MIT study looked at why AI projects go wrong, and named different causes. Neither named the models. Our reading, after doing this work with distributors, is that almost everything on both lists is settled while the work is being scoped, which is the cheapest moment to get it right.

Over 40%

of agentic AI projects are predicted to be cancelled by the end of 2027

Gartner names three causes: escalating costs, unclear business value, and inadequate risk controls.

Gartner

95%

of enterprise generative AI pilots show no measurable P&L impact

The study attributes this not to model quality but to pilots that never integrated deeply into a specific workflow, and to systems that do not learn from feedback.

Spend 45 minutes with the people who would build it

Bring one operation that hurts. We map how it runs today, what agents would own, what stays with a person, and what your systems actually support. You leave with a scoped plan you can take to your leadership, and you keep it whether or not you buy anything.

  • A map of how the operation actually runs

    Where work arrives, who touches it, where it stalls, and which systems hold the truth, drawn in one place.

  • A ranked shortlist of what to automate first

    Ordered by value against effort, with the reasoning shown. The first workflow decides whether the second one ever happens.

  • The line between agent work and human judgment

    Which decisions agents should own outright, which come to a person, and what a reviewer needs in front of them to decide in seconds.

Our senior leadership runs these sessions personally, and takes 5 a month.

The people on the call are the people who scope the build and stand behind the guarantee, so the number is limited by their calendar rather than by a sales quota. When a month is full, the next open time is the following month.
