A middleman
for each side.

Buyers describe what the line needs. Suppliers share what sits idle. Each side gets its own private agent.

Why your agent picked these

Identity locked from the part number. Surplus is fastest; its condition stays seller-stated until photos arrive. Repair is the fallback.

It does the legwork.
You keep the decision.

No ringing round distributors, retyping the same spec or guessing what has been checked. Outreach, terms, acceptance and payment still wait for a person with the authority to say yes.

Daily research · distributors, repairers, surplus

01

Find parts the market won’t surface

Describe the need in plain words, a part number or a datasheet. Like a good middleman, your buyer agent searches distributors, repairers and factory surplus for supply that can actually answer it, not just listings with the right keywords.

Compare real options, gaps included

Condition, lead time, evidence and terms line up side by side. Every fact is labelled confirmed, stated or unknown, with its source and date, so you can see what still needs checking.

Nothing moves without your yes

Your agent drafts the outreach, the terms and the next step. Nothing is sent, accepted or paid until you approve the exact message, and every decision is recorded.

Stop chasing parts. Start comparing options.

Ask in the words you already use.

A few of the requests buyers and suppliers can hand their agent, from a failed HMI to a repair bench with free hours.

PLC CPUs and I/O

Buyer agent
  • Find an exact match for this discontinued PLC CPU from its part number.
  • Compare unused surplus with a tested repair for these I/O cards.
  • Which of these options comes with a test report?

HMIs and panels

Buyer agent
  • Line 3 HMI is down. Find a replacement we can collect this week.
  • Show which facts on this listing are confirmed and which are only stated.
  • Draft an RFQ to the two best routes for my approval.

Illustrative examples.

Unlock humanity’s productive capacity.

One failed module can stop a whole line. The part that restarts it is often already sitting on someone else’s shelf.

Middleman puts an AI agent on each side of industrial supply, so a need and the capacity that can answer it find each other, with evidence attached and a person approving every step. Every outcome makes the market more liquid, and moves us toward a world where any legitimate need can become a verified physical outcome.

Before you quote an exchange unit: define the core return

An exchange price depends on what comes back, when it comes back and whether it can re-enter the repair pool. Put the replacement and returned core on the same quote before a line-down buyer accepts it.

The line is down: choose stock, repair or migration before you ask for quotes

A discontinued drive or controller can produce three very different recovery plans. Define the restart deadline, installed baseline and acceptance test before comparing stock, repair and migration as if they were interchangeable quotes.

Before you ask for bids: manifest the surplus spares lot

A cabinet of PLCs, drives and I/O modules is not ready for a buyer because it has a total quantity and one wide photo. Give each unit an identity, condition, evidence trail and release path before you ask the market to price it.
