An RFQ, PO, or invoice lands in the inbox you already use.

03

Review

Your team sees the draft line by line, with its sources. Approve, edit, or reject.

04

Send

Written into your ERP and sent to the customer in your format.

Runs on your existing ERP. Built on your floor.

One command center

Every agent reports to a single dashboard. Quotes, orders, the floor schedule, AP, AR, and purchasing at a glance.

Arzana ERP

The first autonomous ERP for manufacturing, tailormade for your operation.

Starts as agents inside the ERP you run today. When you are ready, Arzana ERP ships with every agent pre-installed, built against your history, document formats, and pricing rules, not an industry template.

What sets Arzana apart

01

Messy data

Takes two years of quotes, jobs, and POs in whatever shape they are in, cleans them, and builds on them. Your team does not prep a spreadsheet first.

02

Continuous learning

Type the rule change you want and the agent updates itself. Every correction your team makes is logged, and the patterns across them become new rules.

03

Security

Runs foundation models inside a dedicated environment per customer, built for ITAR and CMMC. AWS GovCloud available for plants that handle CUI.

Robotics transformed the shop floor by automating repetitive jobs. Arzana does the same for the industrial office, automating mundane tasks so your team can focus on customers and growing revenue.

We're building more than software. Alongside manufacturers across the United States, we're setting a new standard for how industrial offices operate. A future where AI complements human expertise, where teams work with confidence and efficiency, and where every employee has the freedom to focus on what actually grows the business.

Built on your floor

Built on your floor. Data hosted in a secure environment. Arzana keeps you on frontier models, with continuous agent retraining.
