Manufacturing
Quotes out faster. Purchasing under control.
Engineering and manufacturing businesses win on responsiveness, then lose it in quoting, purchasing and production admin.

IrisKey.ai™
Authority before autonomy.
Capable AI is not enough. Before anything consequential happens — money moving, a message going out, a record changing — IrisKey confirms who is asking, what they may do, and whether a human needs to approve it.
Identity
Who is actually asking for this.
Permission
Whether they are allowed to ask for it.
Authority
Whether it can be done without a person signing off.
Verification
A record of what was checked, and by whom.
Held for approval
“Send the supplier the revised terms” — drafted, verified, waiting on you.
