Kodiact AI-powered category management

Direct materials strategy to execution. Simulated.

Kodiact is the data, operating, and simulation layer for direct materials.
Connecting every material to its price drivers and every decision to one ledger, so teams can rehearse the decision before they take it and see every ripple before it reaches the P&L.

Kodiact Introduces the First Intelligent Simulation Platform for Direct Materials

Manufacturers don't lose margin because they can't see yesterday. They lose margin because they can't see tomorrow. That's why we're introducing Kodiact.

The Hackett Group Solution Spotlight

“As the saying goes, vision without execution is hallucination. Kodiact finally brings a solution to direct materials that goes far beyond just
category management. It matches the need for agility and velocity to actual

capabilities.”

  • Bertrand Maltaverne - Director, Solution Intelligence, The Hackett Group

In this independent Direct Materials Solution Spotlight, The Hackett Group examines how Kodiact bridges the gap between high-level sourcing strategy and real-world execution.
Learn how an intelligent data, operating, and simulation layer provides the agility manufacturers need to protect margins and continuity in volatile markets.

A new category of software

Not a system of record. Not a dashboard. A system of judgment.

A System of Judgment is procurement software that captures, structures, and reuses the reasoning behind direct materials decisions, not just the transactions. The most valuable intelligence in procurement doesn’t live in an ERP; it lives in the heads of senior buyers.

Kodiact continuously infers and encodes that judgment through its canonical model and unified decision ledger, turning tacit category expertise into a permanent, simulation ready corporate asset.

The situation

Why is the largest financial lever in manufacturing still managed in spreadsheets?

Manufacturers spend 35–60% of revenue ($1–3B annually for a global enterprise) on raw materials. Yet the decisions that shape this exposure remain fragmented across ERPs, spreadsheets, negotiations, engineering workflows, and market reports.

Four critical pressures of direct materials performance: Margin, Innovation, Supply Chain, and Collaboration, are managed in isolation. When the cost line is this large, even small improvements in decision quality create disproportionate shareholder value.

What we do

Three layers, one canonical model, and hundreds of pre‑mapped materials, all connected in a single simulation ready platform.

Explore the full picture: the capabilities, industries served, and how Kodiact delivers measurable value across the direct materials lifecycle.
