Our Background

Tacto is building the intelligence layer that connects AI to the physical world of manufacturing starting with procurement. AI is transforming every industry but it stops at the factory gate. The knowledge that holds manufacturing together - part costs suppliers materials - is scattered across systems and people. Over 50% of a products cost originates from suppliers making procurement the single largest cost lever in manufacturing and the missing connection between the digital and the physical world. Yet it still runs on Excel and legacy systems. Were changing that with our Procurement Intelligence Platform trusted by hundreds of companies running billions of Euros of material.

Based in Munich we are 100 passionate builders who are in-office with high expectations fast growth and a lot of fun. We are supported by >50m from Sequoia Index and Europes leading tech entrepreneurs and industry veterans.

Why It Matters

Manufacturing forms Europes economic backbone driving a fourth of Europes GDP and providing over 30% of jobs. These hidden champions and global market leaders manufacture the physical world around us from the machines that build our cities to the medical devices that save lives.

But the world is changing. The US dominates the digital world of bits. China is scaling the world of atoms manufacturing at unprecedented speed and scale. Geopolitics are more uncertain than ever. Europes strength lies in its deep industrial knowledge through generations of engineering. Manufacturing worldwide runs on European machines and software. But that heritage is only an advantage if we leverage it in the age of AI.

Tacto builds the AI that connects Atoms and Bits empowering our Industrial Base to Stay Stronger and building a lighthouse for European tech.
