What Allie does

Allie (legal entity Sistemas Automatizados Allie, S.A. de C.V.) is a private SaaS company founded in 2020 by Alex Sandoval (CEO) and Nicolás Degiorgis (CTO), former Rappi colleagues who identified that factories still relied on paper-based methods for basic production statistics. The company builds an AI-powered manufacturing intelligence platform that connects machines, cameras, and production systems into a unified real-time operational view, applying predictive machine learning for failure detection and a generative AI co-pilot (FactoryGPT) for conversational queries, root cause analysis, and alerts. Core products include FactoryGPT, Allie RealTimeFactory (hour-by-hour OEE and production-plan compliance), Allie ML (predictive maintenance on vibration and temperature data), the Efficiency Module (OEE/quality/availability KPIs), the People Module (operator skills and certifications), and the Allie Secure Edge Gateway hardware for PLC, MES/ERP, and camera connectivity using Profinet, OPC-UA, and LoRa protocols. All technology is developed in-house by a full-time engineering team based in Buenos Aires.

The company targets Tier-1 enterprise manufacturers in Food & Beverage, Consumer Packaged Goods, and industrial sectors across Mexico, LATAM, and the United States, with a customer roster that includes PepsiCo, CCU, Jumex, Alicorp, Jarritos, Novamex, Bafar, Prolamsa, and Altex. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales with multi-stakeholder engagement (manufacturing leadership, digital committees, line supervisors, IT, and maintenance) and a structured three-step deployment — diagnosis and connectivity, adaptive configuration, and AI-driven prediction and generation — completed in weeks rather than months. Distribution is augmented by product-led growth through FactoryGPT's conversational interface and website-driven demo scheduling.

The business model combines SaaS subscription (corporate license with up to three authorized users, monthly billing, quote-based pricing in Mexican pesos), edge hardware sales, and deployment professional services managed by a Product Deployment Lead and Factory Automation Engineers. The company operates from Mexico City (legal headquarters) with hubs in Monterrey, Chihuahua, Buenos Aires (technology center), Sao Paulo, Colombia, and the United States, and employs approximately 30 people. Allie raised a $5.2M seed round in November 2025 and was recognized as a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer in October 2025.

Revenue model

1. SaaS Platform Subscription: Software as a Service (SaaS) delivered via cloud. Clients receive a corporate license for use with a maximum of 3 authorized users included. Additional users can be added. Services are provided in the cloud with hosting by Allie. Pricing varies by service module selected (Machines/Incidents/Maintenance, Efficiency). Payment in Mexican pesos, billed per the cadence specified in each service contract.
2. Hardware (Allie Secure Edge Gateway): The Allie Secure Edge Gateway is a physical device that enables connectivity for machines, cameras, PLCs, and systems of record. While the primary model is SaaS, hardware deployment is part of the product offering for factory connectivity, likely sold as one-time hardware purchase or bundled with subscription.
3. Professional Services (Deployment): Allie deploys software products through a structured deployment process managed by a Product Deployment Lead and Factory Automation Engineers. The deployment process includes planning, sourcing, hardware installation, software installation, soft launch, and final launch phases. This involves on-site factory work as part of implementation.

Core offering

Allie provides an AI-powered SaaS manufacturing intelligence platform that connects machines, cameras, and production systems via a proprietary edge gateway to deliver real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, OEE tracking, and a generative AI co-pilot (FactoryGPT) for conversational factory queries. The platform is sold via corporate subscription licenses, with hardware (Allie Secure Edge Gateway) and professional deployment services as additional revenue components.

Product overview

Allie offers a unified AI-powered manufacturing software platform consisting of three core products: FactoryGPT (generative AI co-pilot for conversational factory queries), Allie RealTimeFactory (real-time production monitoring and OEE tracking), and Allie Secure Edge Gateway (hardware device for factory connectivity and digital twins). The platform is organized into modules including Allie ML (predictive machine learning for failure detection), the Machines/Incidents/Maintenance Module (automated maintenance workflows), the Efficiency Module (OEE and productivity KPIs), and the People Module (workforce skills and training management). All products are delivered as SaaS, with implementation in factories completed in three steps: diagnosis and connectivity, adaptive configuration, and AI-powered prediction and generation. The platform serves manufacturers in food & beverage, consumer packaged goods, and industrial sectors across Latin America and the US.
