Our Mission We build the software that the world’s factories run on.
They are faced with clunky software from the 1980s, Excel and pen & paper. It matters: to manufacturers who need to compete in our global marketplace, to the people who run the production lines, and to our society when we can avoid needless waste.
Ferry is pioneering a new wave of Manufacturing Operations Platforms for the AI age. We are giving digital superpowers to the hard-working folks who are at the coalface of production. Our software powers some of the largest manufacturers globally, providing the tools, insights & capabilities for them to revolutionize what & how they produce.
