06Fulfillment & Lifecycle

Keep products and orders moving through delivery, service, and recovery.

  • Shipment & Tracking
  • RMA / Service
  • Recovery

INPUT

Orders, shipment updates, service requests, and returned products.

OUTPUT

Coordinated delivery, service, refurbishment, or recovery actions.

  • Track shipments and delivery exceptions
  • Coordinate RMA and service
  • Route refurbishment, reuse, and recovery

Illustrative example

DeliveryIn transitServiceRMA reviewRecoveryReuse candidate
An amber-lit electronics service workshop contains an opened inspection robot, reusable circuit boards, and a restored unit packed for dispatch beside a rainy loading bay.

Margin is decided before the quote exists.

O2 does the thinking before the customer sees a number: which suppliers to trust, what to substitute, how much stock you're sitting on, and whether the deal is worth winning.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

About O₂

What is O2 AI?

O2 AI is an AI decision layer for hardware supply chains. It turns every RFQ, BOM, supplier reply, inventory signal, and past order into reusable decision intelligence so hardware and electronics teams can source, price, and quote faster with protected margin.

Who is O2 AI for?

O2 AI is built for hardware and electronics teams that handle RFQs, BOM sourcing, supplier quoting, and distribution, including procurement, sourcing, and sales engineering teams at component distributors, EMS providers, and OEMs.

How is O2 AI different from BOM management tools and component databases?

O2 AI is a decision layer, not a parts catalog or database. Where BOM tools and component databases surface prices, lifecycle status, and availability, O2 turns those signals, together with your RFQs, supplier replies, inventory, and past orders, into recommended sourcing paths, substitutes, pricing, and bid/no-bid decisions, then remembers each outcome to improve the next quote.

Is O2 AI a supply chain AI platform?

Yes. O2 AI is supply chain AI built specifically for electronics: it applies AI to the sourcing, pricing, and risk decisions in the BOM-to-order workflow. Unlike general supply-chain-visibility tools, O2 works at the part level: reading BOMs, RFQs, supplier replies, and inventory signals, and recommending the sourcing path, substitutes, and quote.

BOM & Sourcing

What does O2 AI do with a Bill of Materials (BOM)?

O2 normalizes a BOM into structured part intelligence: it cleans MPNs and manufacturers, resolves quantities and alternates, flags lifecycle and end-of-life (EOL) risk, and applies approved-vendor logic. It then ranks sourcing options by price, availability, lead time, and reliability.

What inputs does O2 AI accept?

O2 ingests emails, BOMs, PDFs, spreadsheets, supplier quotes, inventory sheets, and ERP exports, and converts them into structured opportunity records ready for sourcing and pricing decisions.

Can O2 AI help manage component obsolescence and EOL risk?

Yes. O2 flags lifecycle and end-of-life (EOL) risk on every BOM line, proposes approved alternates and substitutes, and factors obsolescence and inventory exposure into sourcing and pricing decisions, so risk is caught before the quote goes out, not after the order fails. The risk is structural: 621,909 electronic parts went end-of-life in 2025 and 52% shipped with no manufacturer change notice (Z2Data).

Does O2 AI work for EMS providers and distributors quoting from customer BOMs?

Yes. O2 is built for EMS providers, contract manufacturers, and component distributors that quote from messy, inconsistent customer BOMs and RFQs. It parses inbound RFQs into structured records, cleans the BOM, ranks supply, and drafts the customer quote and supplier inquiries.

What is a BOM agent?

A BOM agent is an AI agent that works a bill of materials end-to-end: cleaning MPNs, flagging lifecycle and EOL risk, finding approved alternates, ranking supply options, and drafting the quote. O2 AI operates as a BOM agent for electronics teams: it acts on the BOM and learns from every outcome, rather than just storing part data.

Results & Next Steps

How does O2 AI improve margin?

O2 moves judgment upstream. Supplier risk, approved substitutes, inventory exposure, cost ranges, and win probability are evaluated before the customer sees a number, which typically yields a 2–5% margin uplift per quote.

How fast is O2 AI’s time-to-quote?

O2 reduces time-to-quote to roughly 2–6 hours from messy BOM, RFQ, supplier, and inventory inputs to a reviewed quote path, and lets teams process 3–4× more RFQs because the judgment layer is prepared before review begins.

How do I get a demo of O2 AI?

Book a demo by emailing hello@o2tech.ai with one real BOM, RFQ, or supplier quote. O2 will show how it structures the decision, flags risk, recommends sourcing paths, and learns from the outcome.
