When did we last quote a 100 ton machine with a double worktable?
Don’t Replace Your ERP. Give it a brain.
The AI layer that sits on top of your ERP, unifying quoting, customer data, and operational knowledge for manufacturers.
The most recent 100-ton hydraulic press with a double worktable was quoted on Mar 14, 2024 for an aerospace supplier as QTE-1066 for $314,800. Lead time at quote was 22 weeks.

See how it works
One workspace for sales, quoting, and operations.
Annora sits on top of the systems you already run. Your team works in one place. Records sync back to ERP. No rip-and-replace.
Ask Annora in plain English.
Quote history, product specs, change orders, and the email thread behind every deal become searchable in one sentence, with the source attached.
Build accurate quotes faster.
Configurator tools pull from your real catalog, rules, and pricing logic. Margins are visible every step. Quotes go to PDF or back into your ERP.
Track every deal from inquiry to install.
Boards mirror how your shop works: pre-sale, engineering review, procurement, production, install. Bottlenecks show up before they cost you a deal.
The pain we solve
You don’t need a new ERP. You need to outperform the one you have.
The patterns we hear in week one, every time. Most manufacturers are not stuck on technology. They are stuck on the work that happens around it.
“Our quoting lives in spreadsheets and senior estimators’ heads.”
The knowledge that makes your quotes accurate is not in the ERP. It walks out the door when someone retires.
“Our ERP is clunky, but replacing it is too risky.”
Multi-year migrations, seven-figure consulting bills, and a shop that runs slower on day one. Nobody wants that fight.
“Sales, engineering, and the floor don’t talk.”
Data lives in seven places. People redo work that already exists because they cannot find the last answer.
“We need AI, but we don’t know where to start.”
Manufacturing is a real domain, not a chatbot demo. You want measurable revenue impact from a place your team already cares about.
The layer
An AI brain that sits on top of the systems you already run.
Annora is not a replacement. It is the intelligent layer that connects quoting, customer data, and tribal knowledge into one usable surface while your records of truth stay where they are.

Proof / case study
Spare parts for complex automation systems.
One anonymous manufacturer. Real numbers. The kind of first station that pays for the next one.
From customer machine lists to spare-parts packages in a fraction of the time.
A 300-person automation equipment manufacturer in Minnesota sells hundreds of thousands of unique spare parts. Their customers depend on critical spares to minimize downtime. Annora gave the team a first brain-layer station: query a customer’s machine list, pull the right context from ERP records, manuals, and expert rules, then create the spare-parts list with human approval.
