What Chainsight AI does

Chainsight AI is a Chicago-based professional services firm founded in 2018 that specializes in AI-driven supply chain digital transformation for manufacturing, distribution, and retail enterprises. The company partners with global brands including Johnson Controls, Berlin Packaging, Clarios, Timex Group, Hitachi, GE Lighting/Savant, and Brightstar, with every disclosed engagement structured as a multi-year relationship. Its core problem is closing the adoption gap in supply chain planning projects through a combination of strategic advisory, capability assessment, process design, system implementation, change management, and staff augmentation.

Chainsight's offerings are organized into three solution packages—Supply Chain Jumpstart (capability assessment and prioritized roadmap), Transformation Implementation (program execution with change management), and Solutions Advisory (tool-specific implementations)—underpinned by consulting services spanning strategic advisory, current/target state assessments, business process design, system design and implementation, training and adoption, organizational change management, and program/project management. Its proprietary framework, the Supply Chain Planning Capability Model (PCM), is a four-tier maturity model that assesses planning capabilities across data, people, processes, and technology, with integrated Custom GPT Models tailored to client data to support forecasting, planning, and troubleshooting. The firm maintains certified partnerships with the dominant supply chain planning platform vendors—Blue Yonder, Kinaxis, Logility, and O9 Solutions—implementing and optimizing these tools for clients.

The business model is engagement-based professional services with custom, non-publicly-disclosed pricing, supplemented by a managed services layer (Planning-as-a-Service) that provides day-one super users for demand, inventory, and supply planning. Revenue mechanics are long-tail consulting and staff augmentation rather than licensed software. The company is founder-led, with Santos Carrillo as CEO and Founder, and received its first disclosed external capital—a $1 million seed round from Spicewood Ventures in October 2025—to accelerate AI-driven supply chain growth. Operating geographies are listed as North America, though customer materials reference global enterprises.
