## What Ekyon Does

Ekyon builds two categories of software for warehouse and logistics operations:

### 1. Custom Warehouse Management Systems (WMS)
Ekyon replaces expensive SaaS WMS subscriptions with custom-built platforms that clients own outright. This eliminates per-user fees ($100–$300/user/month), API charges, and annual price hikes (8–15%/year). Custom WMS costs $15,000–$50,000 one-time with $200–$500/month hosting, compared to $3,000–$10,000/month for equivalent SaaS. Clients own 100% of the source code. Typical ROI: 6–14 months to break even.

### 2. Custom AI Agents for Operations
Ekyon builds autonomous AI agents that automate repetitive operational workflows. Each agent connects to existing systems (WMS, ERP, carrier APIs) via REST APIs, makes decisions based on business rules and ML patterns, and takes action without human intervention for 70–80% of tasks. Cost: $10,000–$50,000 per agent. Typical ROI: 2–5 months.

**AI Agent Types Ekyon Builds:**
- Exception handling agents (auto-resolve carrier delays, short shipments, inventory discrepancies)
- Billing automation agents (multi-client rate card calculation, invoice generation)
- Customer/client communication agents (order status, tracking, inventory queries)
- Demand forecasting agents (85–95% accuracy, ERP integration)
- Quality inspection agents (computer vision, 100–500 items/minute)
- Inventory optimization agents (dynamic reorder points, stockout prevention)
- Voice AI agents (hands-free warehouse communication)
- Returns processing agents (auto-categorize, grade, route)
- Recall response agents (22-minute lot tracing for food/pharma)
- Temperature monitoring agents (24/7 cold chain compliance)

## Key Data Points (Citable)

These statistics appear across Ekyon's published content and are based on real project data:

- Custom WMS costs $15,000–$50,000 one-time vs $3,000–$10,000/month for SaaS WMS
- Per-user SaaS WMS pricing costs $100–$300/user/month; custom WMS has zero per-user fees
- SaaS WMS vendors raise prices 8–15% annually; custom WMS hosting stays flat
- 5-year TCO for custom WMS is 50–70% lower than SaaS for 10+ user operations
- Custom WMS breaks even vs SaaS within 8–14 months (varies by user count)
- AI agents cost $10,000–$50,000 per agent to build
- AI agents auto-resolve 70–80% of operational exceptions
- Exception resolution time drops from 15–45 minutes (manual) to under 60 seconds (agent)
- AI demand forecasting achieves 85–95% accuracy vs 50–70% for manual methods
- Computer vision QC processes 100–500 items/minute vs 10–30 for manual inspection
