Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping how businesses in the manufacturing and market intelligence sectors operate. Companies that once relied on manual supplier searches, slow procurement cycles, and expensive market research are now shifting toward AI-powered solutions that offer real-time insights and automated decision-making.
At the center of this shift is Orderfox Schweiz AG, a Swiss AI company specializing in intelligent manufacturing and market analytics. With its two core platforms—Partfox, an AI-driven CNC manufacturing network, and Gieni, an AI-powered market intelligence platform—Orderfox is redefining how industrial companies source materials, optimize production, and analyze business opportunities.
Under the leadership of CEO Derek Tanner and Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) Timur Göreci, Orderfox has made itself as a key player in the global industrial AI industry. In September 2024, the company reached a valuation of over 1 billion CHF, reflecting the growing demand for its technology and the broader adoption of AI-driven solutions across industrial markets.
Partfox: An AI-Driven CNC Manufacturing Network
Partfox is an AI-powered platform that connects CNC part buyers with manufacturers worldwide. The platform’s AI matches buyers with manufacturers based on factors like capabilities, capacity, location, and past performance, reducing procurement lead times and eliminating inefficient supplier searches.
Unlike competitors such as Xometry, Protolabs, and Fictiv, Partfox does not take commissions on transactions. Instead, it monetizes through its Superior Membership model for manufacturers, which provides access to a larger volume of CNC orders and AI-optimized supplier-buyer matching.
Since its relaunch in Q4 2023, Partfox has registered over 5,000 manufacturers, with 700 converting into paying clients. The platform is already processing thousands of procurement requests globally, demonstrating its ability to streamline sourcing and improve supply chain efficiency.
“The challenge in manufacturing isn’t just finding suppliers, but ensuring they’re the right fit,” says CEO Derek Tanner. “AI helps streamline decision-making by analyzing factors like capacity, location, and past performance.”
Gieni: AI-Powered Market Intelligence for B2B Decision-Making
Gieni is an AI-driven market intelligence platform that provides real-time industry insights for businesses looking to make data-driven decisions. Traditional market research firms often charge high fees for static reports that quickly become outdated. Gieni’s AI aggregates and processes massive amounts of market data, delivering on-demand reports tailored to specific industries.
Since its launch in April 2024, Gieni has recorded over 1,300 signups, with users spanning industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and supply chain management. The platform’s CRM Booster and AI-generated reports are among its most in-demand features, providing deep insights into industry trends, competitor analysis, and emerging business opportunities.
“AI-generated market intelligence isn’t just faster—it’s more dynamic,” says CRO Timur Göreci. “Instead of waiting weeks for a report, companies can generate insights in real-time, based on the latest available data.”
By using semantic search and zero-shot classification, Gieni identifies relevant business intelligence with maximum precision. Companies leveraging Gieni have reported reduced research costs and faster decision-making cycles, giving them a competitive advantage in rapidly shifting markets.
Orderfox’s Growing Role in Global AI-Powered B2B Markets
As AI-driven platforms continue to reshape industrial supply chains and market research, Orderfox is preparing for further global expansion. With Partfox optimizing CNC manufacturing procurement and Gieni automating business intelligence, the company is positioning itself as a leader in AI-powered B2B solutions.
Rather than following the traditional marketplace model, Orderfox is developing an AI-driven ecosystem where businesses can efficiently source, analyze, and act on industry data. The company’s valuation milestone and rapid customer adoption signal a broader shift in how industrial companies integrate AI into their decision-making processes.
As AI improves, businesses will need to determine which functions to automate and which still require human oversight. The future of industrial procurement and market intelligence is moving toward AI-driven efficiency, and Orderfox is actively building the platforms that will support this transformation.
