# Kabaido

> Kabaido is the AI-native industrial operations platform built around the engineering of your industry.

Industrial operations, transformed. The engineering behind everything you sell, built into the platform you sell from.

Mission: Bridging the gap between sales and engineering in the industrial sector.

Application Engineering Intelligence, the working model of the industrial supply chain that does the domain engineering behind each request, powers every product.

For manufacturers, distributors and service providers that want to scale operations without increasing complexity.

Quoting, custom products, servicing, the shop floor, stock, buying and delivery. Choose what you need and integrate with your ERP or operate entirely on the Kabaido platform.

## Good to know

- Every product is available on every plan. Products are switched on by need; plans set usage and scale, never access.
- Design Engineer draws the part itself in the browser: a 3D model, a drawing and the production files. No CAD seat is needed.
- The AI cites where every value came from. When a specification is missing it asks a clarifying question rather than guessing, and your engineers still check the answer.
