Blue Ridge Wants to Fire the Spreadsheet - Not the Planner
The Atlanta supply-chain company spent nearly two decades turning forecasts into buying decisions. Now its biggest bet is that software should handle the routine 80 to 95 percent - and show its work when humans step in.
Epicor Built a $1 Billion ERP Machine by Knowing Which Boring Details Matter
The Austin software company survived failed verticals, awkward mergers and decades of product baggage by learning one durable lesson: in industrial software, boring specificity beats broad ambition.
Endeavor
Endeavor is a San Francisco AI company building agentic software for the back office of American manufacturers and distributors. Its AI agents read the messy inputs these businesses actually run on - emails, PDFs, spreadsheets, phone calls - and turn them into automated order entry, quoting, accounts payable, and supply chain work inside existing ERP systems. Founded in 2023 by Wharton graduate Sahitya (Sami) Senapathy and backed by a $7M seed led by Craft Ventures, Endeavor counts industrial names like ClarkDietrich, Menasha, Viking, and Bridgestone Americas among its customers.
Vendavo
Vendavo is an enterprise software company that helps B2B manufacturers and distributors price, quote, and sell more profitably. Its commercial platform unifies price optimization, intelligent CPQ (configure-price-quote), and rebate management with pricing science and explainable AI, aiming to capture 1 to 3 percent of incremental gross margin from complex commercial processes. Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado, Vendavo is backed by Francisco Partners and Accel-KKR and serves global industrial customers.
White Cup
White Cup builds CRM, business intelligence, and pricing software made specifically for wholesale distributors. Born from the merger of three distribution-tech companies (Compass Sales Solutions, MITS, and Tour de Force) under Eden Capital, the company natively plugs into distribution ERPs like Epicor P21 and Eclipse, then turns that raw transactional data into 1,100+ ready-made reports, 40+ dashboards, and AI-driven 'next best action' recommendations. Headquartered in Garden City, Idaho and fully remote, White Cup serves more than 850 distributors worldwide who want to sell more without becoming a software company themselves.
