Start with the Operations AI Audit

For operators who run supply chains and finance

We adapt your operation to AI.

AI tools in your team’s hands first; then we connect your systems and build only what’s missing.

Custom systems, apps, AI agents, or this very website: one founder-led team, any industry, with supply-chain and finance depth.

Let’s talkSee how we work

We run a distribution operation of our own. Everything we install survives our Monday first.

A late truck. A held container. The one person who knows the spreadsheet, out sick. Those are the days we build for, because they’re our days too. Whatever breaks, breaks on our floor first, before it ever reaches yours.

Why us

Operators on both sides of the table.

cques is run by the team behind a live distribution operation across the US and Latin America. The tools we bring you started as the tools we needed on our own floor.

Operators
We run our own distribution operation
Founder-led
The founders do the work, every engagement
You own it
The full stack, for good

Buying AI is easy. Getting your team to run on it is the work.

That’s where we start: inside the orders, the inbox and the month-end your team already runs. AI goes where the hours go.

One real operation runs on this today. Ours.

Every role
on one system
field service, warehouse, finance, HR
One record
shared across every module
nothing re-typed between systems
Every day
in production on our own floor
not in a demo

We don’t ask a client to run anything we wouldn’t. The same principles run our own distribution operation, every day.

In production every day since launch.

Side by side with a traditional implementation.

Ownership
The old wayYou rent it. Leaving means starting from zero.
With cquesYou own the stack. The code and the data are yours.
Fit
The old wayGeneric modules your operation bends around.
With cquesBuilt around the operation you already run. Gaps only.
Time
The old wayTraditional software vendors: 6 to 12 months, and 40% never reach go-live.
With cquesLive inside the running operation in weeks, while the business keeps moving.
Economics
The old wayPer-seat pricing: your headcount is their revenue plan.
With cquesSized to the operation, never to how many people you have. Growth is never penalized.

Figures above are industry-typical estimates, not audited statistics.

Anyone can win a demo. We’re built for month twelve.

Every operation leaks somewhere specific. We go there.

The sectors we go deepest in, from agriculture and manufacturing to logistics, healthcare, and finance. Where we have the most reps, not the limit. Find yours.

Agriculture & Mining operationAgriculture & Mining

Tonnage, yield, and machine uptime live in field notebooks and separate systems, so a problem shows up after the shift or the season, not during it.

Growers & ag inputs · Grain & commodity trading · Mining & aggregates · Heavy-equipment dealers

Unplanned downtime runs 5-20% of output in heavy operations.

Energy & Utilities operationEnergy & Utilities

Assets, crews, and work orders are tracked across portals and email, so a missed inspection or a late part becomes a shutdown before anyone sees it coming.

Oil & gas services · Power generation · Utilities & renewables · Water & wastewater

A single day of unplanned outage on a major asset can run into six figures.

Manufacturing operationManufacturing

The floor runs on tribal knowledge and spreadsheets, so a wrong part, a stale BOM, or a critical-spare stockout stops the line and nobody knew until it did.

Discrete & process · Industrial & MRO · Marine propulsion & systems · Building materials · Auto parts · Apparel & footwear

50-60% of MRO inventory sits excess or obsolete; techs lose 20-30% of their time finding the right part.

Importers & Customs operationImporters & Customs

Landed cost doesn’t exist until the broker’s invoice arrives and the margin is already gone, and one wrong HTS code holds the container.

Importers · Customs brokers · Cross-border trade · Freight forwarding

Demurrage runs ~$225/container/day; ~41% of customs holds trace to one misclassification.

Wholesale & Retail operationWholesale & Retail

Reorder happens when someone notices a low shelf on Tuesday, and one order-status question sends the team to four systems for a single answer.

Wholesale distribution · Food & CPG · Retail & e-commerce · Consumer brands

Top operators run 95% forecast accuracy and ~2% stockouts; deductions can reach 30% of gross sales.

Logistics & Distribution operationLogistics & Distribution

Shipment status is assembled from carrier portals, email, and phone by hand, and service load grows one-for-one with volume.

Freight & 3PL · Ports & maritime · Carriers & brokers · Warehousing · Last-mile & fulfillment

Freight margins of 10-15% erode under fuel surcharges that change every week.

Healthcare operationHealthcare

Prior authorizations and denials pile up faster than staff can clear them, and lot, expiry, and cold-chain evidence scatter across sites until an audit becomes a scramble.

Provider groups & clinics · Pharma & cold-chain · Medical distribution · Labs

Most denials are never appealed though most appeals succeed; one cold-chain break can write off a shipment.

Finance operationFinance

Month-end is a manual scramble across exports and spreadsheets, and past-due follow-ups go out when someone finds time, not when they’re due.

Accounting & controllership · FP&A · Fund & investment ops · AR / AP teams

AI-drafted collections have cut days-sales-outstanding by a week from go-live.

Professional Services operationProfessional Services

The work is billable, but a third of the day goes to intake, document lookup, scheduling, and status updates nobody bills for.

Law firms · Consultancies & agencies · Education & training · Back-office teams

Knowledge workers lose an estimated 20-30% of the week finding and recreating information.

See how we work
No rip-and-replace

Keep your systems. Lose the copying between them.

Your team keeps the software it knows. We wire in the channels and tools you already use, automate the work inside them, and build custom only when something is missing. We connect to anything.

The systems your team already lives in, connected into one operation.

ERP · Accounting · CRM · E‑commerce · WMS · EDI · Carriers · Support

Messaging, connected

Every thread becomes structured data in your operation, instead of living on one person’s phone.

Your tools, connected

Your ERP, CRM and the rest, joined into one layer. No migration, no rebuilding what already works.

Processes, automated

Workflows inside your live systems run themselves. Your team stops being the integration.

The front door

Start with an Operations AI Audit.

A short, decisive read of your operation by people who run one. You leave with a ranked map of where AI pays back fastest, yours to keep whichever way you go. If the honest answer is that you don’t need us yet, that’s the answer you get.
