Makersite

Makersite is transforming how products are made by accelerating the transition to a sustainable economy. As the leader in delivering supply chain digital twins for product sustainability, risk, and cost optimization, Makersite supports the world’s leading brands. The technology combines AI, data, and applications to power sustainable product and supply chain decisions at scale, helping manufacturing enterprises solve complex challenges in minutes instead of months. This is achieved by empowering engineering and procurement teams with the data needed to make informed decisions about materials and sourcing. Makersite’s AI automatically maps a company’s product data, suppliers, and manufacturing processes against over 140 material and supply chain databases. It constructs granular, precise digital twins of each product, detailing how they are made, used, and disposed of. These dynamic, multi-criteria models and deeply integrated applications enable transparency and understanding of multiple factors—including environmental footprints, should-costing, and compliance risks—more quickly than any current approach. Makersite is an award-winning software-as-a-service provider that assists manufacturing enterprises in addressing complex challenges related to their products and supply chains. Founded in 2018 by CEO Neil D’Souza, the Stuttgart-based company employs over 60 people across Europe, the USA, and Asia. Its customer portfolio includes Microsoft, Bekaert, Barco, Cummins, and Vestas. Makersite is recognized as a leader in multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) for product design and procurement, as well as in the full automation of life cycle assessments (LCAs) and Scope 3 reporting. In 2022 alone, over 20 million LCAs were processed through the cloud platform.
