Atomic is a software company that provides supply chain planning and optimization technology to help businesses manage inventory, purchasing, and demand forecasting.
Co-founders Michael Rossiter and Neal Suidan previously worked together at Tesla, where Neal ran Global Demand Planning and Michael ran S&OP.
At Tesla, they identified significant planning challenges where teams were passing spreadsheets back and forth, leading to errors in demand planning, production planning, and inventory management.
After leaving Tesla, they reconnected and realized most companies face similar challenges but remain stuck using spreadsheets.
They are building Atomic to be a tool with the power and flexibility of spreadsheets, but the robustness of software.
