Mandel AI is an AI supply chain coordinator that helps manufacturers and distributors manage supplier communication, detect disruptions, and automate procurement. Founded in 2024 and based in San Francisco, CA, Mandel connects to existing email and ERP systems to streamline procurement workflows.
Using purpose built AI agents, the platform reads supplier emails, extracts critical data, reconciles documents such as purchase order confirmations and invoices, and takes action autonomously. Actions follow company defined processes written in plain English, enabling teams to automate complex, high volume tasks.
With Mandel, a single procurement manager can coordinate work that previously required an entire team, including reading, reconciling, and acting on hundreds of supplier emails per day. Backed by Y Combinator, Mandel has processed over $1B in material spend across aerospace, pharma, and industrial manufacturing.
