Naologic
Naologic is a San Francisco-based software company building an AI-native, no-code manufacturing ERP. It replaces the patchwork of legacy ERP, MRP, CRM, and quality-control tools that mid-sized factories run on, with a single configurable platform that goes live in weeks instead of years - no consultants and no custom code required. Domain-specific AI 'experts' trained on a company's own data answer strategic questions, generate reports, and run autonomous multi-agent workflows.
