How about shaping a platform that helps workshops across Europe work with complex technical data and using AI to solve problems that are actually hard.
At RepGuide were building the digital backbone for the agricultural and construction equipment industry. Our platform structures and delivers highly heterogeneous technical data from multiple manufacturers across languages markets and environments.
RepGuide is a product of the FRICKE Group one of Europes leading spare part distributors in agricultural and construction technology. That means real users real scale real complexity with the speed and ownership of a focused product team.
RepGuide is part of our FRI:X Innovation Lab. Thus were currently pushing strongly into AI:
- Using AI tools to improve our development lifecycle (coding reviews automation)
