Technicians log on a tablet. Apprend flags out-of-spec readings in real time and turns shift handover into a structured record.
Apprend learns from your historical quotes, BOMs, and win/loss data, then prices new RFQs against jobs you've actually built.
A private AI for your CEO and COO, trained on your operational data. Drafts updates, flags issues early, answers questions in seconds.
Invoice matching, AR aging, payroll prep, candidate screening, onboarding. Automated where it should be, surfaced where it matters.
Quoting data, BOMs, and customer pricing are sensitive by nature. Apprend runs entirely on infrastructure you already own, so that data never leaves your environment.
Bare metal, your VMware cluster, or a dedicated edge appliance. You own it.
For ITAR, defense, and regulated work — runs fully disconnected if required.
Fine-tuned inside your perimeter. Nothing leaves to train.
One-time deployment, flat annual license. No per-seat. No per-token surprises.
Customer pricing, supplier terms, defense work — stays where it belongs.
One-time deployment fee plus a flat annual license — no per-seat or per-token charges. Pricing scales with the number of departments and the size of your team. We share an exact number on the walkthrough call after we've seen your shop, so it reflects what you actually need.
This is the part most shops worry about — and the part we spend the most time on. We start with two weeks on-site to understand how people actually work. The interface is tablet-first, with large touch targets designed for use on the floor in gloves. Adoption is something we measure together with you and iterate on during the deployment.
It stays. Apprend is the layer on top, not a replacement. We integrate two-way with whatever you run — SAP, Epicor, Plex, JobBOSS, custom builds. The goal is to extend your existing systems, not replace them.
Apprend runs entirely inside your perimeter — bare metal, your VMware, or an air-gapped edge appliance. No data is ever sent to our servers. No external API calls at runtime. SSO, RBAC, full audit log, encryption at rest and in transit. SOC 2 and ISO 27001 mappings available. If you're an ITAR or defense shop, we run fully air-gapped.
The fastest paybacks tend to come from quoting (faster RFQ turnaround, more wins) and operations (cleaner audit trails, less scrap). We walk through ROI math on the walkthrough call with assumptions specific to your shop so the numbers reflect your actual baseline.
That's the recommended approach. Start with the department where the impact will be most visible — usually quoting or operations. We deploy that one first, work with you to evaluate the results, and you decide whether to expand from there. No long-term commitment required up front.
We're a small team based in the U.S. and Canada. Our engineers come from manufacturing-software backgrounds. Every customer has a named engineer they can call, not a ticketing system. If you book a walkthrough, you'll meet two of us — including the founder.
One department, 90 days, running on your infrastructure.
