Finding a software vendor capable of building such reliable forecasting models for niche financial markets is genuinely rare.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Pinnasys could have done differently?

One limitation we observed is that the predictive engine struggles whenever applicant files contain missing or incomplete financial records. If a borrower omits recent bank statements, the scoring output can become less reliable, forcing our underwriters to step in manually. Having a built-in notification system that flags incomplete files before running risk scoring would save time.

We help brands unlock the full potential of AI by making their unified data legible to any AI tool via MCP. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Pinnasys to accomplish?

• Corvera works with lean CPG brands, and one of the recurring pain points we kept seeing was how much manual effort still goes into basic B2B order processing. A CPG client of ours was spending around 45 minutes per order manually reading purchase order emails, checking inventory, updating their ERP, and booking freight through 3PL portals. For a team trying to run with fewer than 10 people, that kind of manual overhead doesn't scale, and it is exactly the type of workflow we wanted an AI agent handling instead.

Pinnasys built a multi-agent pipeline to handle it end to end. The system scrapes incoming PO emails automatically, uses a vision-LLM extraction layer to parse messy, multi-page retail PO formats from the likes of Walmart, Target, and Costco, checks stock levels against a legacy ERP through custom API wrappers, and books freight by connecting into two major shipping portals via browser automation. They also built a human-in-the-loop dashboard so a real person could step in and approve anything flagged with a low confidence score or an inventory exception, rather than letting the system push through uncertain orders blind.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Order processing time dropped from roughly 45 minutes down to under 3 minutes per order for the vast majority of cases, and the system is now handling close to 90% of orders without any human touch, which was the target going in. The confidence-scoring on the HITL dashboard has held up well too, flagging genuinely ambiguous orders rather than either over- or under-flagging.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

We ran this with regular working sessions early on to nail down the PO formats and edge cases, tapering to shorter check-ins as the pipeline stabilized. I led the engagement on our side as Head of AI Engineering, working closely with one of our backend engineers on the ERP integration piece specifically, since that touched sensitive inventory data. Pinnasys staffed it with an AI agent architect who designed the overall pipeline, an engineer focused on the vision-LLM parsing layer, and a separate engineer handling the browser automation for the 3PL portals. Splitting the parsing and automation work across dedicated engineers rather than one generalist made a visible difference in how fast each piece matured.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their handling of the PO parsing layer was the most technically impressive part of this build. Retail purchase orders are notoriously inconsistent between accounts, and getting a vision-LLM extraction layer to reliably handle Walmart, Target, and Costco formats without constant manual correction takes real tuning, not just plugging in an off-the-shelf model.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Pinnasys could have done differently?

The 3PL browser automation piece needed a few rounds of adjustment early on, since shipping portal layouts change more often than you'd expect and the scripts occasionally broke against unannounced UI updates. Pinnasys built in better error handling for that once it came up.

Pinnasys came on to do a straight discovery and strategy engagement, no software purchasing, no implementation, just an honest look at where we stood. They reviewed how we were actually running things day to day, mapped out what our processing operations, regional supply chains, and B2B/D2C sales channels would need from a technical standpoint, and built an evaluation matrix comparing two or three cloud ERP and inventory platforms that actually made sense for a business our size. They wrapped it up with a 12-month roadmap that included real cost estimates, not vague ballpark figures.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Two months later, we walked away with a roadmap that finally gave us language and structure for decisions we had been putting off. The ERP comparison in particular was useful, since we had looked at a couple of platforms ourselves before and had no real framework for judging which one fit an operation like ours, with our specific mix of agricultural processing and direct sales. We are now working through the vendor shortlist with actual confidence instead of guessing.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Given the size of this engagement, it stayed lean by design. Most of our interaction happened over a couple of video calls early on, where their consultant walked our floor operations and asked questions about how product actually moves from processing through to sale. From there it was mostly written updates as they worked through the assessment. I handled the project myself, since as founder I am close enough to every part of the operation to answer whatever came up. On their end, it was a single consultant handling the assessment work, which felt appropriate for the scope and kept things efficient rather than overstaffed for a small pre-scale operation.

What was your primary form of communication with Pinnasys?

• Virtual Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The consultant's grasp of manufacturing-specific bottlenecks, rather than generic small-business advice, is what made this worth the money. A lot of IT strategy work assumes a service business or a straightforward retail operation, and ours is neither, we've got physical processing constraints and supply chain quirks that don't show up in a standard template. They clearly adjusted for that instead of handing us a boilerplate assessment.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Pinnasys could have done differently?

The roadmap leaned a little heavy on enterprise-tier ERP options early in the draft, before we clarified our actual budget realities as a small, growing company. That got corrected quickly once we flagged it. For the price and timeline, this was a genuinely solid piece of work, and we now have an actual plan instead of a list of problems.
