Kyrok

Kyrok is an AI operating system for supply chain teams at European pharmaceutical and chemical small and medium sized manufacturers, using industry specific AI agents to modernize workflows that still run on decades old ERP systems, spreadsheets, and the knowledge of soon to retire employees. Founded in 2025 in Berlin by Daniel Hofinger and Lukas Bierfreund, whose previous ventures served more than one thousand two hundred mid sized companies, it raised a three point one million euro pre seed round in June 2026 led by Speedinvest, with Arve Capital and angels including a former SAP chief procurement officer and a BCG pharma partner. Several pharma and chemical SMEs are already running it in pilots, and the company reports its agents process more than eighty percent of complex orders without errors.

Rather than replacing a company's ERP, Kyrok sits as an application layer on top of it, so supply chain staff work in one modern interface where agents handle routine tasks and guide them through workflows. It connects ERP, SAP, email, Excel, and Microsoft Teams, and its first live module covers customer service, sorting incoming emails, entering orders into the ERP, and drafting follow ups, with production planning, material planning, and procurement modules in development. Staff can ask plain language questions like how many units of a material they will need from a supplier over six months and get instant answers, and the system runs continuous monitoring with proactive reorder and bottleneck alerts. It also learns each user's way of working over time, gradually turning individual expertise into shared digital process knowledge.

Because it serves regulated industries, Kyrok is built around a human in the loop model where the final decision always rests with the responsible employee, and it emphasizes data protection: encrypted processing on European infrastructure in Germany, GDPR compliance, and alignment with pharma standards like GMP and GAMP 5, with ISO certifications planned. As a pre seed company with only its first module live, much of the platform is still ahead of it. For a European pharma or chemical manufacturer that wants to modernize supply chain work without ripping out its ERP, Kyrok is a promising early fit; a large enterprise wanting a broad, proven supply chain suite today will find it still maturing.
