What challenges did Inspectorio face before AI implementation?

Supply chain sourcing, ordering, and manufacturing had low digitalization, resulting in limited visibility, collaboration, and inefficiency among brands, retailers, suppliers, and factories. Existing AI services had high latency and cost issues that made it difficult to scale generative AI features across all clients.

What was the impact of the AI solution?

Improved chatbot query response latency by 2.5x and reduced generative AI costs by 60x compared to alternatives. Achieved 95% chatbot accuracy in natural language question answering for supply chain insights. Increased operational visibility and accelerated process automation for clients. Enabling new features for traceability and sustainability audits to meet evolving regulatory and consumer demands.
