Case study · US manufacturer
What we found at a US manufacturer
A large US manufacturer kept its prices and costs across 6 or 7 spreadsheets, much of it typed in by hand. One purchase made on the wrong day cost about $30,000.

Where the money is
Where AI saves money in companies like yours
01
Reading orders from emails into your system
Someone opens each order email and types every line into the system.
02
Flagging the right day to buy
Prices and costs sit in hand-typed spreadsheets, so nobody sees the best day to buy.
03
Matching invoices to orders
Someone checks each invoice against the order by hand before it gets paid.
04
Building the month-end report
Your team does the reconciliations and month-end accruals by hand.
Compass finds which of these, and which others, are worth the most in your company, with the math.
What you get
What you have at the end of 6 to 8 weeks
A map of how the work gets done
Built from interviews with the people who do the work, not from the org chart.
Every idea ranked by the money it saves
Each one comes with the math, so your CFO can check it.
The first build, scoped at a fixed price, with its projected ROI
You see what it costs and what it should return before you decide anything.
Building any of it is a separate decision, made later, with us or anyone else.

Fixed Price
One fixed price, agreed before we start. It doesn't change.
Every Idea Ranked
Every idea ranked by the money it saves, with the math for each one.
Who it's for
Who Compass is built for
Built for
- US companies over $10 million a year
- Distributors, manufacturers and service firms that don't sell software
- A CEO, COO or CFO who will own the result
Not for
- Companies under $10 million a year
- Software companies
- Teams looking for AI training or a tool demo
Questions we hear on calls
Straight answers
Need to show savings before you can get budget? That's what Compass is for.
The report shows the math for each idea, so you can take it to your CEO or your board.
Compass doesn't commit you to a build.
The report is yours to act on. Building any of it is a separate decision, made later, with us or anyone else.
Why start with interviews?
AI can now handle a lot of the steps people do by hand, like typing orders from emails into your system. Those steps only show up when you watch the work.

Since Gnar started working with the AARP Foundation Property Tax-Aide, these digital tools have helped over 28,000 people apply for and, if eligible, obtain over $10M in property tax relief.
Our engineering team spent a fraction of their time (from many hours per week down to < 1 hour per week) supporting API customers.
…they help make important business decisions; they acknowledge what I want to do but also help me understand the alternatives we have. In a nutshell, their thoughtfulness and communication have blown me away.
From the first conversation, Pete and Mike were open and curious about our project and, more importantly, about our company and how this project helped us help our clients.
…we ended up agreeing with 100% of their change requests because they were so well explained.
…they offered out great ideas, more efficient ways things could be done if applicable and were cost conscious. I would recommend them to anyone.
They care about the quality of their work, and the satisfaction of their clients. They take the time to understand what you are trying to achieve.
Work was accurately estimated and completed within the timeframes planned.
I would describe the engagement as highly successful.
They were really great partners, not only in getting the work done but also in helping us drive the software in the right direction.
I very rarely have to over-prescribe the work, Alex does a great job of listening to stakeholders which requires less work for me to best define a solution.
We like that they are a small, nimble company like we are, and that they are invested in our success.
It was always easy to work with the company founders, who went out of their way to meet our needs
The team also responds to pivots in priority very well and are willing to dig into problems with you to make sure the solution is right.
Future clients should trust them and take advantage of their extensive knowledge and expertise.
Our system is quite complicated, and Gnar was really able to be productive quickly without a lot of ramping up.
They did a good job of jumping in and learning the in's and out's of the application quickly to begin building right away.
Delivery was on time and the team was responsive and professional during the entire process with weekly checkin meetings.
Creative, timely, flexible, organized, personable, and strong technical skills.
They were able to advise us on good long-term approaches and strategies for frontend development.

@ First Line Technology
We weren’t just a project to them. Even now, they catch up and ask how the app is running, and not from a sales standpoint. They really care about our end-users.
James Wong
Director of Product Management
@ Vermont Mutual
They’ve been able to integrate with our team. We don’t view them as a third-party at all.
