Insulate Food & Beverage Margins from Raw Ingredient Volatility
Move past static commodity spreadsheets, reactive data feeds, and rigid transactional legacy systems. Kodiact is the industry's premier System of Judgment—passively inferring, encoding, and automating buyer logic to turn market volatility into a compounding planning advantage.
Raw material cost improvement delivered across volatile ingredient portfolios.
Sustainable portfolio margin expansion protected against commodity market shocks.
Increase in strategic capacity and spend managed per category manager by eliminating manual admin.
The Severe Operational Deficit in Direct Materials Sourcing
- 70% Capacity Drain
Sourcing buyers spend the vast majority of their operational hours on manual data consolidation, spreadsheet management, and admin.
- Reactive Firefighting
Only 15% of a category manager's time remains available for proactive margin protection or strategic contract cliff defense.
- Lagging Intelligence
Purchasing and raw material sourcing decisions are routinely tied to incomplete or outdated historical market data cycles.

Why Static Data Platforms & Consulting Models Cannot Compete with a System of Judgment
| Procurement Capability | Traditional Data Platforms Beroe Inc · Expana Markets · Vesper Tool | Risk & Event Mapping Resilinc | Traditional Consulting Kearney Procurement | Kodiact System of Judgment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core Platform Function | System of Data: Delivers external, generic commodity research indexes and disconnected market dashboards. | Event Tracking: Monitors macro logistical threats and alerts teams of supply shocks without connecting them to internal product costs. | Static Deliverables: Charges up to $5M per year for strategic sourcing plans created once a year that age instantly. | System of Judgment: Continuously connects internal corporate context (spend, demand, specs, BOMs) with live external market signals. |
| Operational Continuity | Fragmented: Leaves category managers to copy and paste external data across sheets to validate pricing decisions. | Siloed: Alerts are disconnected from the live Bill of Materials (BOM), hiding real financial exposure. | Perishable: Critical corporate sourcing logic and relationship history walk out the door when senior buyers retire. | Compounding: Passively infers and encodes buyer logic, walk-away prices, and limits into an immutable Decision Audit Log. |
| Execution & Workflows | 100% Manual: Sourcing professionals bear the full cognitive load of converting raw information into tactical supplier RFQs. | Reactive: Requires procurement teams to manually reach out to suppliers after an alert is issued. | Human-Dependent: Requires ongoing professional advisory hours to manually adjust categories to unexpected supply shocks. | Agentic Execution: Specialized AI agents execute manual loops—shortlisting suppliers, drafting offers, parsing responses—in audited 'propose mode' under buyer oversight. |
Infrastructure, Isolation & Orchestration
Live, read-only data pulls tracking products, suppliers, stock levels, Material Requirements Planning (MRP), Purchasing Info Records (PIR), and active contracts.
Tenant data isolation is hardcoded via database-level, organization-scoped Row Level Security (RLS) on every table, with org_id derived strictly from secure authentication tokens.
The underlying reasoning engine runs on advanced multi-model orchestration utilizing Anthropic Claude Opus 4.7 and Anthropic Claude Haiku 4.5.
