Parts Intelligence
Partium answers them with AI, in your own catalog, and puts the next move next to every answer.
One directional valve, illustrative answers.
The problem
No datasheet for the part on the shelf. A price nobody has checked since the last order. A discontinuation notice that arrives after the last unit is gone. Three teams touch the same part, each with a different question, and none of them has the time to investigate it by hand.
NeededThe part, and where one is.

01Find · Partium Find
Partium Find identifies the spare part from whatever you have at the machine: a photo, a label, a code, a few words or the bill of materials. For the technician at the machine, the buyer at the desk and the service team with a customer waiting.
02Act · Partium Agent
AI that works for your people, not instead of them. Partium Agent runs beneath every feature of Cockpit and Find. You work in the product; Agent does the work underneath.

Agent investigates and proposes; every value comes back with its source and confidence, in plain language. Accept, change the value, or dismiss with a reason; nothing in your catalog changes until a person says so.
Sometimes the right answer is more stock. Cockpit says that too.

Built for every team that touches a spare part
One catalog, one set of figures, and the same part meaning the same thing to everyone. Each team gets the feature where its work is, and the result in its own terms.
Example: a mid-size manufacturer with $20M of spare parts stock across 3 plants. Replace every figure with yours.
ROI calculator
Your own figures, published rates, and the result on screen at once. It takes about two minutes. No sign-up, nothing sent anywhere, and every assumption listed next to its number.
An estimate from published figures, not a promise. Try Partium on your own parts and see what it finds.
Questions
Partium is the Parts Intelligence platform for spare parts. Partium Cockpit keeps your prices, stock, obsolescence and master data under control. Partium Find identifies a part at the machine. Partium Agent does the work beneath both.
Take a photo of the part, scan its label or describe it in a few words. Find searches your catalog and shows the matching part with its number.
No. Your ERP stays the system of record. Partium draws its data from it and can also write back into it.
No. The AI proposes the data. Your master-data team decides.
The part only goes into the catalog when your team creates it.
Every saving is an estimate until you pay the price, and it rests on the Price Benchmark. Every figure shows how it was calculated.
Partium Cockpit is software for the teams who look after spare parts: maintenance and procurement. The dashboard shows what needs doing today, and the feature where you do it.
Send us an export of your parts and purchase prices. Agent investigates a sample, and we walk you through the decisions it finds in your own data.
