For decades, businesses have relied on consulting firms for market research, supply chain optimization, and procurement solutions. These firms aggregate industry data, conduct analyses, and deliver reports—services that come at a high cost and often take weeks or months to complete. However, AI-driven automation is reshaping how businesses access intelligence, and Orderfox Schweiz AG, under the leadership of CEO Derek Tanner and CRO Timur Göreci, is at the forefront of this transformation.
Orderfox offers two distinct AI-powered platforms:
- Gieni, an AI-driven market intelligence platform, aggregates industry data in real time and delivers automated reports and insights.
- Partfox, a CNC manufacturing network, connects buyers and manufacturers directly without commission fees, streamlining procurement.
These platforms challenge traditional consulting models by providing businesses with instant insights and automated procurement solutions, removing reliance on manual research and middlemen. With a valuation exceeding 1 billion CHF as of September 2024, Orderfox is emerging as a key player in the industrial AI sector.
Gieni: AI-Powered Market Intelligence Without the Consulting Fees
Traditional market research firms such as McKinsey, Statista, and Gartner compile industry reports that cost thousands of dollars per analysis. These reports are static, generalized, and often outdated by the time they reach decision-makers.
Gieni, Orderfox’s market intelligence platform, takes a different approach. Using AI-driven semantic search and zero-shot classification, it aggregates and processes real-time industry data from thousands of sources. Instead of waiting for a consulting firm to compile a report, businesses can generate on-demand, AI-powered insights tailored to their specific needs.
“Consulting firms have been charging high fees for insights that AI can now deliver in seconds,” says Timur Göreci, Orderfox’s CRO. “Gieni eliminates that gap, giving companies immediate access to data-driven intelligence at a fraction of the cost.”
Since its launch in April 2024, Gieni has gained 1,300 signups from businesses looking to replace costly and slow market research services with AI-driven automation. Unlike competitors such as Perplexity AI or ChatGPT, Gieni is built specifically for industrial applications, providing detailed reports on supply chain trends, competitor landscapes, and market demand shifts.
Partfox: A Commission-Free CNC Manufacturing Network
Procurement consulting firms and brokerage platforms such as Xometry, Protolabs, and Fictiv help manufacturers find CNC suppliers, but they often operate on commission-based models, increasing costs for both buyers and suppliers.
Partfox, Orderfox’s AI-driven CNC manufacturing network, provides a direct connection between buyers and manufacturers without transaction fees. Instead of acting as a middleman that takes a cut of every deal, Partfox matches buyers with suppliers based on precise manufacturing requirements, ensuring compatibility without unnecessary fees.
“Our focus is on creating efficiency, not collecting commissions,” Göreci explains. “Manufacturers need a way to connect with buyers without losing margins to intermediaries.”
Since its Q4 2023 relaunch, Partfox has recorded 5,000 registered users and 700 paying clients, underscoring a shift toward AI-driven procurement. By leveraging AI to match orders with the best-suited CNC manufacturers, Partfox reduces lead times, optimizes supply chains, and improves cost efficiency for manufacturing businesses.
AI and Automation Are Reshaping Business Intelligence
Consulting firms have traditionally positioned themselves as indispensable to market intelligence and procurement strategies. However, businesses are increasingly turning to automated platforms that offer faster, data-driven alternatives.
- Speed: Gieni generates reports instantly, whereas traditional research firms require weeks or months to compile similar data.
- Cost: AI-powered insights from Gieni are significantly cheaper than traditional consulting fees, making market intelligence accessible to more businesses.
- Efficiency: Partfox eliminates broker fees, reducing procurement costs and providing direct access to suppliers.
These trends reflect a broader shift toward AI-driven business intelligence, with Orderfox leading the charge in industrial automation.
Future Growth and Expansion
Orderfox’s 300% revenue growth in 2024 highlights the growing demand for AI-driven intelligence in industrial sectors. Moving forward, Derek Tanner and Timur Göreci plan to expand Gieni’s industry reach while strengthening Partfox’s global supplier network.
“We are only beginning to see the impact of AI in industrial intelligence,” says Göreci. “As automation advances, companies that adapt will gain a significant competitive advantage.”
With its AI-powered platforms, Orderfox is redefining how businesses access market intelligence and manufacturing networks. As consulting firms struggle to keep pace with automation, the future of industrial intelligence is shifting toward AI-driven solutions.
