Technical Delivery Manager

A little bit about us

At Kavida, we are revolutionizing the way manufacturing purchasing teams manage purchase orders (POs). Traditional methods are not fit for purpose, especially when POs change 40% of the time after being placed. With 100s of suppliers and 1000s of orders, the complexity and manual effort required to stay on top of these changes can be overwhelming.

Kavida's AI Agent is designed to expedite post-PO management. Our solution integrates seamlessly with your email, using AI-enabled workflows to scan supplier communications and identify critical order and supplier information. Kavida's Agent PO automates supplier coordination on delivery date changes, quantity and pricing adjustments, and prioritizes tasks that need your immediate attention, ensuring efficiency and accuracy in your procurement processes.

How we do this?

By combining the best of GenAI, Large Language Models (LLMs), cloud computing, supply chain domain knowledge to build “AI Agents”. Our Agents are not normal software that users use on a day-to-day basis to create value, the Agent sits in the background and creates value for users and only gets them involved when problems occur. It reads emails, data from ERP and supply chain systems, global news and events and combines all of them to ensure that manufacturers receive orders from suppliers on time and in full.

Our Success Story

We were born out of covid1+ in March 2020. Since then, we raised our several rounds of capital from strategic investors and venture capitals. We are now at a stage where we have enough customers on the Agent and are on the trajectory to a hockey stick growth where the demand is increasing each day. To support this exponential growth, we are restructuring our engineering team into a world class team that can take the product and infrastructure to level where it can support more than 100 enterprise business customers.
