MannyAI builds AI-powered software that helps brands and factories sync for short, responsive order cycles using a test-and-reorder model to reduce overproduction. Its initial offerings include AI tools for cost negotiation, real-time order allocation, and dynamic capacity management tailored to each factory's capabilities. The platform automates paperwork, tracks fabric, and applies AI for production and capacity planning to make small-batch production profitable without capital-intensive equipment. MannyAI positions its model as an alternative to markdowns and bulk purchasing, aiming to minimise finished goods volumes and align with EU policy momentum on overproduction. The company is operationalising the approach in the apparel and footwear industry, with three factories across Europe currently testing its technology. The recent €1.5M fundraise (including a €240k grant and €1.26M pre-seed) will be used to scale deployments and further develop its AI-driven production capabilities.
