# Corply > Corply is a software and AI consultancy for manufacturers, recyclers, shippers, and established operating businesses. We modernize legacy systems, build custom software, and put practical AI to work on the plant floor, in the yard, and at the dock. Corply, LLC is a software and AI consultancy founded in 2026 and based in Saint George, UT (Utah, United States). It works with companies across the United States. Contact: info@corply.ai. Key facts: - Who it serves: manufacturers, recyclers and waste companies, shippers and logistics providers, wholesale distributors, and established family-owned businesses. - Engagements start with a 2–3 week fixed-fee Assessment, followed by Build phases (typically 6–16 weeks), Run (monthly support) or Advisory (fractional CTO). - The customer owns all code and data. Corply works alongside in-house IT and prefers widely supported, open technology. - Corply does not publish prices; every phase is quoted in writing against a defined scope. ## Services - [AI agents & automation](https://corply.ai/services/ai-automation): Agents that read documents, triage inboxes and flag problems, with a person approving the output. - [Custom software & internal tools](https://corply.ai/services/custom-software): Operator-facing apps, floor tablets and customer portals that replace the spreadsheet running the business. - [Legacy system modernization](https://corply.ai/services/legacy-modernization): Move off AS/400, green-screen, VB6 and Access systems in stages, without a risky big-bang cutover. - [Data platforms & analytics](https://corply.ai/services/data-analytics): One trusted source of data and the dashboards operations actually read, down to margin by load. - [Integrations, ERP & EDI](https://corply.ai/services/integrations): EDI, APIs and ERP connections that move orders, shipments and scale data between systems reliably. - [Cloud & edge infrastructure](https://corply.ai/services/cloud-infrastructure): Move off aging servers, run reliably at sites with poor connectivity, and keep it secure and affordable. - [Technology advisory & fractional CTO](https://corply.ai/services/advisory): Senior technology leadership by the month: roadmaps, vendor choices, AI readiness and diligence. ## Industries - [Recycling & waste](https://corply.ai/industries/recycling): Scale house, bale inventory, buyer settlements and compliance reporting for yards, MRFs and processors. - [Manufacturing](https://corply.ai/industries/manufacturing): Shop-floor tablets, work orders, OEE, traceability and quoting for job shops and multi-plant manufacturers. - [Shipping & logistics](https://corply.ai/industries/logistics): EDI, rate quoting, proof of delivery, detention tracking and customer portals for carriers, 3PLs and brokers. - [Wholesale & distribution](https://corply.ai/industries/distribution): Order entry from email and PDF, pricing and rebates, B2B portals and replenishment for multi-branch distributors. - [Established & family-owned businesses](https://corply.ai/industries/legacy-businesses): Modernize decades-old systems, document what only one person knows, and integrate acquired companies. ## Company - [Approach](https://corply.ai/approach): How engagements run, from floor walk to handover. - [Engagement models](https://corply.ai/engagements): Assessment, Build, Run and Advisory. - [About](https://corply.ai/about): Who Corply is and why it exists. - [Security](https://corply.ai/security): How Corply handles customer systems, data and AI models by default. - [FAQ](https://corply.ai/faq): Answers to common questions. - [Contact](https://corply.ai/contact): Email info@corply.ai or use the form. ## Insights - [EDI, APIs and spreadsheets: a practical integration guide for mid-size manufacturers and shippers](https://corply.ai/insights/edi-apis-and-spreadsheets): Use EDI when a large trading partner requires it, APIs when both sides can support them and you need real-time answers, and structured file drops or spreadsheets as a stopgap for low volume. The goal is one integration layer that translates between all of them, so you do not hand-build every connection. - [How to hire a software consultancy for an industrial business](https://corply.ai/insights/hiring-a-software-consultancy): Hire a software consultancy that starts with a paid, fixed-scope assessment, shows working software every week, writes down who owns the code and data, and can explain your operation in your words. Avoid anyone who quotes a large build before they have seen your systems. - [How to modernize an AS/400 or legacy ERP without stopping operations](https://corply.ai/insights/modernize-legacy-erp-without-downtime): You modernize a legacy ERP without downtime by never doing a big-bang cutover. Keep the old system running, put an API layer around it, move one workflow at a time to new software, and retire the old pieces only after the new ones have run in parallel and matched. - [Building a single source of truth for operations data](https://corply.ai/insights/single-source-of-truth-for-operations): A single source of truth for operations is a shared, cleaned copy of your key records (tickets, work orders, loads, inventory) with agreed definitions, fed automatically from the systems that create them. Build it around a few real decisions first, then add dashboards for the people who make those decisions. - [Where AI actually pays off in a recycling or scrap operation (and where it does not)](https://corply.ai/insights/where-ai-pays-off-in-recycling): AI pays off in recycling where the work is repetitive reading, matching or sorting of messy inputs, such as scale tickets, paperwork, inbound grading support and exception flagging. It pays off less where physical sorting, safety or market judgment is the real problem, and it never replaces clean data underneath it. ## Optional - [Full text of services, industries and FAQs](https://corply.ai/llms-full.txt) - [Privacy policy](https://corply.ai/privacy) - [Terms of use](https://corply.ai/terms)
