What's the backstory?

• Akhil Oltikar spent over 20 years running highly complex, technical supply chains for companies like Flex (fka Flextronics).

• At each role, he struggled to get full visibility into his supply chain — especially in a way that did not require manually-updated spreadsheets.

• In 2016, he struck out to create the software he always wished for.

• On Running was Omnics first customer, growing from $100 million to $2 billion in revenue over three years while using the platform.

  
  

Who do they work with?

• Omnics starts to make sense at $10M+ in revenue

• Their sweet spot is hardware startups and consumer product goods businesses who are hitting an inflection point in scale and complexity — but who aren’t ready for an ERP..

  
  

How does it work?

• Omnics provides a modular, Lego-like platform that integrates with existing systems (ERP, PLM) and supplier data.

• Their most commonly-used modules are for demand planning, supply planning, inventory management, and factory capacity planning.

• It uses a unified data model with supply chain-specific semantics to normalize data across systems

What makes it different?

• Modularity — The software’s modular structure allows customers to start small and add functionality later as needed.

• Unified data model — Omnics normalizes ALL supply chain data into standard format so that it can be passed seamlessly between systems.

• Pricing — Unlike legacy ERPs, Omnics offers an affordable SaaS model with no long-term contracts and no payment until implementation is complete.

  
  

How does pricing work?

• Implementation is covered by a flat fee and is done in-house (no external consultants).

• After that, subscription billing kicks in, with no long-term lock-in required.

• Notably, subscription billing does not start until the implementation is complete!
