Autonomous operations for industrial distributors
Hexa helps industrial distributors automate their sales and procurement workflows to quote faster and win more bids.
Hexa provides an AI-powered operating platform designed for manufacturers and distributors to automate and optimize their core workflows, including sales, procurement, and finance, by tailoring AI agents to their existing processes. The platform emphasizes integration with ERP/CRM systems and end-to-end automation across purchasing, invoicing, and order status in live ERP data.
Hexa offers purpose-built AI modules that automate critical workflows: quotes generation from emails/PDFs/calls, parts catalog matching with customer-specific pricing, and end-to-end purchasing workflows (shortage detection, RFQ, PO). It automates AP/AR tasks (invoices matched to POs/receipts, aging, collections), and provides live ERP-backed responses for order status, delivery updates, and inquiries. The product integrates bidirectionally with major ERP/CRM systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce, HubSpot) and can connect to custom platforms. The workflow lifecycle includes Discover, Deploy, Optimize, Scale, during which Hexa shadows operations to map high-impact AI use cases and deploys AI agents aligned to specific workflows.
Who itβs for: Manufacturers and distributors seeking to automate sales, procurement, and finance processes through AI agents integrated with their ERP/CRM stack.
