Industries
AI agents by industry.
Ferrata Labs builds AI agents for finance and operations in six industries: financial services, food and beverage, construction, manufacturing, venture and private capital, and logistics. The same products, on the same Brain, apply across all of them. What changes is which workflow goes first, the systems it connects to and the rules it follows.
Six industries, one engagement.
Each vertical has its own page: what we target there, the systems we usually find and the products and agents that apply.

Whatever the vertical, the method is the same: find the recurring work an agent can take →
Every agent stops at an approval gate until it has earned its way out of one. Nothing releases cash, commits spend or touches a customer without a person saying so.
What changes by industry, and what doesn't.
Changes by industry
The work in front of the agent. That is why each vertical starts somewhere different.
| Industry | Where it usually hurts first | Systems |
|---|---|---|
| Financial services | Daily reconciliation across custodians, sub-ledgers and the GL | SAP HANA, Dynamics 365, Custodian feeds, Sub-ledgers |
| Food & beverage | Thousands of low-value supplier invoices a month | NetSuite, SAP HANA, Supplier portals, Email |
| Construction | Tender packages assembled and chased across dozens of suppliers | SAP HANA, Dynamics 365, Email, SMS |
| Manufacturing | Customer POs re-keyed by hand into sales orders | SAP HANA, Dynamics 365, NetSuite, Customer portals |
| Venture & private capital | Capital calls and distributions assembled per LP by hand | NetSuite, Fund administration platforms, Email |
| Logistics & supply chain | Carrier invoices arriving faster than anyone can audit them | SAP HANA, NetSuite, Carrier portals, EDI |
Stays the same everywhere
- 01
The engagement
Four stages in every vertical: assess, anchor your data, put one agent live in under 12 weeks, then make your team AI native.
How it works → - 02
The approval gate
A person releases every consequential action until the agent has earned its way out of the gate, on evidence.
Human in the loop → - 03
Ownership
The platform runs in your environment, on your data, behind your firewall. It is yours, not rented.
The platform → - 04
The end state
Your own team builds the next agent. The engagement is designed to end.
AI transformation →
The platform
Connect your systems. Build the Brain. Run agents on top.
The Ferrata Labs Ontology connects your ERP and every system around it into one model of your business, its records and how they relate: your company's Brain. Our products and their agents run on it from the first day.
It is the idea Palantir calls an ontology: a company's objects and the links between them, for applications and agents to act on.
- 01Connect and start
- Connect your ERP and other systems to the platform and start with a product. The least friction, with nothing to install.
- 02Behind your firewall
- For enterprises, Anchor sets up the Brain inside your own cloud, your data center or an air-gapped network. Your data never leaves it.
Start with a product, then extend it: each process of your own becomes a new agent on the same Brain, built with your team until your team builds the next one.
Your agents are built around your organization.
The way you price, route, approve and escalate is years of accumulated judgment, and it's a real advantage. It belongs to you and it stays with you, we're not asking you to hand over your playbook or fit yourself into someone else's template. We start from how your business already works, encode that logic into agents built for your environment, and leave you with an operation that runs faster with exactly the things that make you good at it still intact.
Bring us one workflow.
Thirty minutes, no deck. Pick the process that costs you most in people, errors or delay, and we'll pressure-test whether an agent is genuinely the right answer for it.
- An honest read on whether that workflow is a good agent candidate
- What the first deployment would involve, and roughly what it costs
- An honest answer if the sequencing is wrong and you should fix something else first
