// Value

From analytics capability to
embedded intelligence.

We created verticallm from a simple conviction: AI only becomes truly valuable in supply chain and operations when it understands the company it serves.So we focussed on capturing the dta, language, and logic from the start. Not on technology.

01 · Build the foundation

Stick to what you know

Our approach is not a pivot to AI. It is the product of two decades of hands-on experience helping some of the world’s most complex organizations address their most pressing supply chain challenges. Where others focus on AI and technology as a starting point, we extend what already works: embedding AI into proven methods, with a clear focus on data, context, and building intelligence within the company.

verticallm is an offspring of Argusi, a company active in supply chain analytics and optimization since 2008, with deep expertise in supply chain strategy, design, and optimization. We now build on that reputation and track record with an approach tested across more than 150 projects for global leaders.

This is the natural next step in a journey that started over two decades ago, working side by side with some of the most complex supply chain organizations in the world. Where others are experimenting, we are extending: embedding AI into the proven, field-tested methodologies we already know deliver results.

02 · Your language and logic

Our Philosophy

It is simple: your data is your data, so it should stay local. In addition, intelligence cannot be outsourced. It needs to be embedded within the organization. The most important step is therefore to build a proper body of data — the corpus — that is highly structured using graph technology. With the right context, and only then, AI can be used properly.

Combined with structured input and domain expertise, AI becomes an exponential force multiplier. We have not abandoned what made us successful; we have amplified it. We wanted to build a vertical AI model that makes use of our two decades of accumulated knowledge, adapted to a new era of speed, scale, and intelligence.

The key is that we use highly structured input. That may sound strange, because modern-day LLMs can be used with unstructured data. However, in our evaluations and testing, we have clearly seen that they perform best when provided with structured context. As we will show later, we use surveys and structured data templates to create this context.

// Embedded intelligence

Built by people
who understand the user terms.

We have worked side by side with business leaders, supply chain VPs, planners, analysts and operational teams. That matters.
The platform is not designed for abstract AI experiments. It is designed for people who work with complex decisions, fragmented knowledge, sensitive data and real operational consequences.

01 · Build the foundation

Why experience matters

Any AI is only as good as the context it receives. These large language models are powerful, but they do not automatically understand how a company works, which trade-offs matter, which constraints are real, which data is reliable, or how decisions are made across planning, sourcing, production, distribution and customers.

Our advantage is that we know what the relevant supply chain questions are. We know what data is usually needed. We know how to structure input. We know how to move from scattered information to useful analysis.

That experience is now built into the way we design vertical AI systems.

02 · Your language and logic

What we are building

At verticallm we develop comapny specific systems for supply chain, operations and industrial organizations. These systems combine company context, structured input, knowledge graphs, retrieval, analytical workflows and domain-specific agents. The aim is not to replace expertise, but to make expertise more accessible, scalable and useful inside the company.

Our focus is practical: better questions, faster analysis, clearer decisions and more internal capability. And it is our strong belief that the next generation of AI will not only be defined by larger models.

It will be defined by the quality of the context companies build around those models. That is where we operate.

// Embedded intelligence

Specialized AI
that runs on your
terms.

On-premises machine learning built for operators who cannot afford ambiguity — in data sovereignty, in precision, or in accountability.

03 / Process verticallm / how it works
// How we work

Your data. Your control.
Embedded as intelligence.

01 · Your foundation

It is your data

The most valuable context of the company already exists inside the business: numbers, documents, agreements, procedures, planning rules and operational knowledge. Our promise is simple. We help structure it, connect it and make it usable for AI, but the intelligence starts with what is already yours.

02 · Built local

It stays your data

Sensitive company knowledge should not be treated as disposable prompt input. We build local-first, secure and controlled environments so your data, documents and context stay inside your organization. The core of the company remains protected, governed and under your control.

03 · Long-term value

Embedded intelligence.

Once your context is structured, it becomes a reusable intelligence layer for the company. We help you turn data, documents and domain logic into a foundation for current and future AI: retrieval, agents, scenarios, decision support and continuous learning.
