About Whitespace

Whitespace builds AI agents that run the entire operation of supply chain businesses, starting with wholesale distributors. We give them self-improving AI agents that learn their business and do work like inventory planning and customer service. We're building towards a world where all supply chain operations run through our agents, and all physical goods purchases can happen across businesses without human touch.
