PARQ

What PARQ does

PARQ is an Austin, Texas-based AI software company that serves building materials manufacturers with two integrated offerings: Hazel, an agentic AI workforce, and a standalone EPD Platform for Environmental Product Declaration management. Founded in 2022 and operating with 11–50 employees, the company targets manufacturers of flooring, coatings, sealants, windows, doors, skylights, and composite materials serving the construction value chain. PARQ's customer base includes more than 50 enterprise manufacturers, with named logos spanning Sherwin-Williams, VELUX, Stonhard, Carboline Company, Tnemec, Tremco CPG Europe, Fibergrate, and Panduit, with additional deployments referenced across UK and European markets.

Hazel is structured as six specialized agents — Sales Agent, Tech Service Agent, Submittals Agent, Competitive Intel Agent, Onboarding Agent, and Compliance Agent — all drawing from a unified intelligence layer that ingests product data, ERP records (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite), technical documentation, competitive intelligence, and historical customer interactions. The platform deploys natively through Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, and CRM systems, producing cited outputs across bid packages, submittals, technical responses, battlecards, and compliance documentation. The EPD Platform operates as a parallel product automating LCA modeling and third-party verification under ISO 14025, ISO 14040-44, EN 15804, and ISO 21930 frameworks, with the company claiming certified declarations delivered 8x faster and at 60% lower cost than legacy processes.

PARQ runs a sales-led enterprise go-to-market starting with 15-minute discovery calls followed by personalized demos, with customers reportedly live within weeks of onboarding. Pricing is quote-based subscription and not publicly disclosed. Reported performance signals include $100M+ in customer deals influenced, 6,000+ sales assets generated, an 8.5x reduction in technical response time, a 15% average win-rate lift, 65% faster rep onboarding, and 94.5%+ accuracy on technical responses. The company has not disclosed any external funding rounds and appears bootstrapped under CEO and founder Walker Ryan, alongside Head of Product Jacy Legault, Head of Engineering David, and Head of Life Cycle Assessment & Carbon Services Juan David Villegas.

Core offering

PARQ provides Hazel, an agentic AI workforce platform purpose-built for building materials manufacturers that captures institutional product expertise and automates commercial workflows across sales, technical service, submittals, competitive intelligence, onboarding, and compliance functions. The company also offers a standalone EPD Platform that manages the full lifecycle of Environmental Product Declarations from LCA data collection through third-party verification. Both products are deployed via existing communication tools including email, ERP, and CRM integrations.

Product overview

Parq offers two core products for building materials manufacturers: Hazel and the EPD Platform. Hazel is an agentic AI workforce — a single platform serving multiple commercial functions — comprising six specialized agents (Sales Agent, Tech Service Agent, Submittals Agent, Competitive Intel Agent, Onboarding Agent, and Compliance Agent) that draw from a unified intelligence layer trained on a manufacturer's products, specs, competitive landscape, and customer history. The EPD Platform is a parallel standalone product that manages the full lifecycle of Environmental Product Declarations — from automated LCA data collection through AI-powered modeling and third-party verification — in under 90 days. Field Reports serves as a case study resource showcasing real-world deployment outcomes across manufacturers.

Direct peers

• One Click LCA: LCA and EPD software purpose-built for the construction and building-products value chain. Closest direct competitor to PARQ's EPD Platform on the manufacturing side; lacks the Hazel-style commercial AI agents.
• Sphera: Enterprise ESG, EHS, and product sustainability software with deep LCA and EPD capabilities. Direct overlap with PARQ's EPD Platform on the compliance/environmental side, but Sphera does not offer PARQ's agentic AI sales/tech-service workforce.
• VelocityEHS (Industries): EHS, sustainability, and compliance platform serving industrial manufacturers. Overlaps with PARQ's Compliance Agent and EPD workflows for building-products customers.

Broad incumbents

• Microsoft: Dynamics 365 for Manufacturing plus Copilot AI agents in Teams/Outlook overlap with Hazel's deployment channels and ERP integrations. A major incumbent risk if Microsoft verticalizes manufacturing workflows.
• Salesforce: Enterprise CRM with Agentforce agentic AI, Sales Cloud, and Net Zero Cloud for ESG. Competes in CRM-adjacent sales enablement and ESG reporting where PARQ operates; broader portfolio, not building-materials-specialized.
• OneTrust: Broad trust intelligence platform covering ESG, compliance, and sustainability reporting. Overlaps with PARQ's Compliance Agent and EPD reporting; competes as a horizontal incumbent rather than a building-materials specialist.

Emerging players

• Highspot: Sales enablement platform with AI-driven content, training, and buyer engagement — overlaps with PARQ's Sales Agent and Onboarding Agent, especially in industrial verticals.
• Sana: AI-powered learning and knowledge management platform. Architecturally analogous to Hazel's knowledge ingestion + agent model, particularly the Onboarding Agent use case, though horizontal rather than verticalized.
• Glean: Enterprise AI search and agent platform that ingests company knowledge and serves it across teams. Horizontally analogous to Hazel's intelligence-layer architecture, though not verticalized for building materials.
• Watershed: Enterprise carbon accounting and sustainability platform. Comparable on the ESG/carbon reporting side of PARQ's EPD Platform, with stronger finance-grade reporting rather than manufacturer-product-level EPDs.
