Amplio raises a $6M seed round to help manufacturers source electronics components

Written By Rick Watson

Amplio helps you take back control of your supply chain by making sourcing cost-efficient and stress-free. Predict future component shortages, automate risk purchases, and access exclusive sources of supply. Build more, worry less.

The system both predicts and tracks electronics parts shortages.  Not only this, but it identifies alternative suppliers for the riskier parts of your supply chain.  I like the narrow focus on a specific industry and set of problems.
