Built by manufacturers.
For manufacturers.
We started with a simple observation: the software running modern manufacturing operations was either too expensive, too fragmented, or too dumb. So we built something better.
The problem was hiding in plain sight.
Silos.
Our Story
Small and mid-size manufacturers have always punched above their weight. They build the components that go into aircraft, the parts inside medical devices, the materials that keep the energy grid running. But the software they relied on was designed for a different era — or a different budget.
Legacy ERP systems demanded six-figure implementation fees, per-user licenses that rationed access, and months-long rollouts before a single department saw value. Meanwhile, safety data lived in one system, quality in another, finance in a spreadsheet. Nobody had the full picture. Decisions were made on stale data, hunches, and printouts.
"The insight wasn't a new feature — it was a fundamentally different model. One price. Every employee. Every module. Native AI. Live on day one."
Cortrova was built to close that gap. We built it from the ground up as a unified platform — not an assemblage of bolted-on modules — covering all 17 operational domains from Safety and Quality to Finance, HR, R&D, and beyond. No phased rollouts. No feature gates. The full system, available on day one.
We then built Trunnion AI — a wholly owned subsidiary — to power the intelligence layer. Not a third-party analytics plug-in, but an AI engine woven into every module, every dashboard, and every workflow. Trunnion AI's 64-agent hierarchy monitors all 17 departments simultaneously, predicts problems before they escalate, and delivers prescriptive recommendations with confidence scores backed by real operational data.
One company.
Two platforms.
Cortrova is the ERP engine. Trunnion AI is the intelligence layer. Together, they give manufacturers a complete, predictive view of their entire operation.
Cortrova
A fully built, production-ready ERP platform designed for manufacturers with 10 to 500 employees. 205+ features across five core operational pillars. 33 cross-module integrations. Dedicated dashboards and workflow zones for every department and role. No phases, no feature tiers — the complete platform from day one.
Trunnion AI
Trunnion AI is the intelligence backbone of Cortrova. A 64-agent, three-tier hierarchy monitors all 17 departments simultaneously, surfaces anomalies, and generates prescriptive recommendations with confidence scores backed by real operational data. Supports both Anthropic Claude and OpenAI GPT via a provider abstraction layer.
Principles that drive every decision.
No gatekeeping
Every employee who touches operations should have access to the platform — from the CEO to the newest floor operator. Our flat-rate, unlimited-user pricing makes that possible without counting licenses.
AI as infrastructure
Trunnion AI is not a feature, a tier, or an add-on. It is embedded into every module and every workflow. Predictive intelligence is a foundational right, not a premium upgrade.
Live on day one
Manufacturers can't afford 12-month rollouts. Cortrova is fully built. The only work at go-live is integration — connecting the platform to your data. Full capability in 4 to 8 weeks.
Predict, don't react
Every alert in Cortrova is forward-looking. We surface convergence zones before incidents happen, flag supplier risk before a recall, and identify budget drift before a quarter closes badly.
Radical simplicity
Flat-rate. Unlimited users. Everything included. No per-user fees, no module upsells, no monthly charges. Manufacturers have enough complexity in their operations — their software shouldn't add to it.
Cross-domain intelligence
A safety incident doesn't just affect the safety score. It ripples through quality, delivery, and finance. We map those relationships so leadership sees how operational decisions cascade — with dollar amounts attached.
17 operational domains.
One unified intelligence layer.
Every domain has its own dedicated dashboard, workflow zone, and reporting suite — all connected by Trunnion AI, monitoring every metric in real time.
