America’s defense industrial base runs on infrastructure built in the 1980s. Distributors and manufacturers managing our supply chain still manually stitch together email threads, supplier quotes, PDFs, government solicitations, and archaic ERP exports to manage billions of dollars passing through our supply chain in component level assemblies.
SalesPatriot changes that.
We're building the AI-native command center for U.S. defense logistics, eliminating the manual bottlenecks slowing down critical national security workflows. From F-35 bearings to Blackhawk rotor hubs, we’re helping distributors and manufactures quote faster, win more, and deliver the parts that keep NATO safe.
