Forge makes procurement software for hardware companies. Trillions of dollars of purchases at the most advanced manufacturing companies are managed across spreadsheets, emails, and meetings - we automate this. Emir and Haris are brothers with backgrounds in both software and hardware engineering. While developing rocket engines, Emir saw firsthand how poor procurement operations caused weeks to months of delay, bottlenecking the pace of development. Our product lets teams collaborate with manufacturers, track orders from quote to delivery, manage purchase approvals, and more!

Forge gets companies refunds on duties-taxes paid on imported goods when goods are exported or scrapped by automating duty drawbacks. Billions of dollars of eligible refunds go unclaimed every year. We automate the process so that all businesses involved in importing goods can unlock the revenue they deserve. Emir and Haris are brothers with backgrounds in both software and hardware supply chain. While developing rocket engines, Emir saw firsthand how poor supply chain operations caused huge issues throughout a company.
