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.
Built with procurement leaders from global manufacturers
“The first tool that actually captured what our senior buyers know, and put it to work every day.”
2026 State of the Industry: Strategic Category Management
The agentic frontier in direct materials. Benchmarks, buyer-time data, and the playbook leading manufacturers are using to turn category management into a continuously optimized advantage.
Not a system of record. Not a dashboard. A system of judgment, evolving into a system of simulation.
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.
See how it worksWhy 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.
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.
