Our Company Story

Every search should be simple. That’s why Partium exists — to give technicians, planners, and buyers the power to find the right part instantly, no matter how complex the data or how worn the label.

 

 
The Reason We Became Partium
At Partium, we’ve always believed one thing: every part matters — and the people who need them shouldn’t have to struggle to find them.
 
We saw firsthand how wasted hours, mounting frustration, and needless costs all came down to one root cause: people couldn’t get to the right part when they needed it. That insight became our mission.
Where It All Started
The idea came from a frustration every technician, store associate, or planner knows too well. Identifying a spare part — whether it’s covered in grease, buried in a machine, or missing its label — was slow, inconsistent, and often guesswork.

The right part might be on the shelf, but if you couldn’t find it in SAP or the catalog, it was like it didn’t exist. That wasted time, drove up costs, and left people frustrated. We wanted to fix that.
The Early Days
In 2020, we founded Partium with a simple mission: make part identification easy for the people who keep our industries moving.

Our first breakthrough was combining visual search with semantic understanding so anyone could find parts by snapping a photo, typing a few words, or searching a BoM — without needing perfect data or years of tribal knowledge.
Purpose-Built for Industrial Complexity
Unlike consumer tools or generic search engines, Partium was designed for the messy, high-pressure environments where technicians, planners, and buyers actually work.

Dirty parts. Missing manuals. Multilingual catalogs. Multiple disconnected systems. That’s the real world, and our platform integrates seamlessly into it — working upstream of SAP, Maximo, Oracle, and others to make those systems more powerful, not more complicated.

From Search to Parts Intelligence
 
As our customers grew, so did their challenges. It wasn’t just about finding parts anymore. They were wrestling with duplicate records, incomplete catalogs, long lead times, and reliance on a single supplier.

That’s when Partium evolved into a full Parts Intelligence platform, helping people to:
