What Ameba does

Ameba Systems Ltd. is a London-headquartered B2B software company founded in 2023 that builds an AI agent for manufacturing supply chain order administration. The platform reads supplier and customer communications across email, WhatsApp, and WeChat, autonomously chases parties for missing dates and documents, extracts structured fields (PO numbers, quantities, ship dates, invoice terms) from PDFs, Excel files, and images, and writes results back into customer ERP and PLM systems. The product is organised around four workflow stages — Onboard (10-minute playbook setup in plain language), Follow (process chasing across channels), Extract (document intelligence), and Act (exception flagging, reply drafting, ERP write-back) — running continuously on every active order. Ameba also handles EU Digital Product Passport compliance by chasing suppliers for sustainability certificates and traceability information and filing them against the right product record.

The platform is sold as a subscription to manufacturers — primarily in apparel, textiles, and garment industries — and to their supply chain and procurement teams. Pricing is quote-based and billed annually, with a 30-minute demo on real customer orders as the primary commercial touchpoint. The go-to-market motion is product-led: suppliers are engaged on the channels they already use and are not required to log into any new system, which lowers adoption friction and enables bottoms-up expansion within manufacturing accounts. As of the most recent operational reporting, the platform was tracking 50,000+ orders, 80,000 line items, 580,000 emails processed, 30,000 files processed, and 27,000 exceptions identified.

The company was founded by former supply chain operators and has raised $7.1 million in seed funding in October 2024 led by Hedosophia, with participation from Visionaries Club and Entrepreneur First. Ameba operates from London with 1–10 employees, holds SOC 2 Type 2 certification and GDPR compliance, and was selected for Gymshark's Innovation Lab programme alongside other supply chain startups. Anglotex, a Portuguese garment manufacturer, is publicly named as a customer, with reported outcomes of approximately 10% faster raw material arrival and reduced production delays.

Revenue model

1. AI Agent Platform Subscription: Ameba sells access to its AI agent platform as a subscription. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; a one-time 10-minute setup is required per workflow, after which the agent runs on every order autonomously. The platform connects to ERP and PLM systems and charges on a subscription basis, consistent with B2B SaaS motion targeting manufacturers.

Core offering

Ameba sells an AI agent platform that automates supply chain order administration for manufacturers. The agent autonomously monitors every purchase order, chases suppliers for dates and documents across email, WhatsApp and WeChat, extracts structured data from messages, PDFs and images, and writes the results back to customers' ERP and PLM systems. It also flags exceptions, drafts replies, escalates issues and supports EU Digital Product Passport compliance.

Product overview

Ameba offers a single unified AI agent product for manufacturing supply chain management. The platform operates through four core workflow stages: Onboard (10-minute setup teaching the AI your SOPs in plain language), Follow (tracking every order across channels), Extract (reading emails, messages, PDFs and lifting structured data), and Act (flagging issues, drafting replies, escalating, and updating ERP systems). The system integrates with existing ERP and PLM systems, connects to communication channels including email, WhatsApp, and WeChat, and operates 24/7 without requiring suppliers to log into any new platform.
