Sutra
Decision intelligence platform for hardware teams that connects PLM, ERP, supplier, and inventory data to automate engineering change workflows end-to-end.
What is Sutra?
Sutra is an operational intelligence layer built for hardware engineering teams. It integrates with existing PLM, ERP, MES, supplier systems, and communication tools, allowing engineers to describe a change in plain natural language and instantly surface its operational consequences — affected parts, exposed inventory, impacted assemblies, and required approvals. Rather than chasing data across disconnected systems, teams get a unified impact model that drives automated Engineering Change Requests (ECRs), routes approvals, and learns from each completed change to improve future accuracy and speed.

Who is it for
Engineering Change Management
Hardware engineers can initiate, simulate, and execute part replacements or design changes without manually hunting through PLM and ERP systems for impact data.
Supply Chain Impact Assessment
Procurement and supply chain teams can instantly identify which suppliers and inventory are exposed when a part change is under consideration.
Cross-Functional Approval Routing
Engineering managers can automate the distribution and tracking of ECR approvals across engineering and supply chain stakeholders, reducing bottlenecks.
BOM Verification and Traceability
Operations teams can verify bill-of-materials accuracy against live ERP data and maintain a traceable audit trail for every engineering decision.
Legacy System Modernization
Companies running on fragmented stacks of Excel, PDFs, and email can layer Sutra on top to gain structured, queryable intelligence without replacing existing systems.
