Axal provides ERP-connected AI workers designed to automate tasks across sales, finance, and operations for manufacturers and distributors. It automates front and back office processes such as order entry, invoicing, pricing, and CRM updates, leveraging live ERP data.

Axal deploys ERP-connected AI workers that read inbound purchase orders, enter data into ERP, provide real-time pricing and inventory insights, update CRM with meeting notes, automate AP/AR tasks, and handle email workflows. It connects to major ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Infor, Epicor) and automates workflows across Sales, Finance, and Customer Service, with capabilities including order entry, quoting, outside/inside sales support, vendor reconciliations, AR/AP automation, and document handling (COA/quality docs). Implementation involves an initial mapping session, live automation configuration, and progressive rollout to automate the majority of standard workflows within weeks.

Break down monoliths, identify tech debt, and fix it with AI at scale!

Axal builds a platform for application modernization that identifies architectural bottlenecks and technical debt, prioritizes issues by business value, and uses AI to autonomously address them without breaking existing code, targeting monolithic Java, C#, or Go apps. It provides observable debt scores and graphs to guide teams through modernization efforts.
