Build the right thing
at the right time,
every time
Pretzel helps hardware teams optimize assembly processes by showing engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain teams exactly what to build and order when.
The Manufacturing Knot
Hardware manufacturing is a constant juggling act.
Manufacturers face daily challenges that are too complicated for simple spreadsheets, but too small for teams to hire dedicated software admins.
Building at the Wrong Time
Your order queue doesn't reflect your daily task list due to varying lead times. Prioritizing what to build when becomes a challenge.
Parts Arriving from Everywhere
Managing inventory from multiple suppliers without losing track becomes increasingly difficult as your operation scales.
Running Out of Parts
Finding out too late that a critical component is missing leads to production delays and unhappy customers.
Expensive Solutions That Do Too Much
Enterprise systems require dedicated staff just to operate and maintain, with features you'll never use but still pay for.
