Hi!

We are ASI and this is our story.

Incorporated in 2014

We've worked in several domains of engineering before narrowing down to Cost Engineering and developing our technology for the same. We are now scaling within this deep and essential function for manufacturing companies.

In business speak - we're creating a new category and our product marketing fit is validated with xcPEP® usage by leading manufacturers.

We've built a powerful should cost engineering platform xcPEP®  which is a category creating product.
We've recently developed a procurement platform xcPROC® combining our learnings from years of experience in this domain.
