Rama for bearing & power transmission distributors
The AI system built for MRO distribution. Rama identifies, crosses, and quotes, so your team has more time to identify parts faster
Live on your ERP and line card in days. No rip-and-replace.
Sample run. Nothing in the request was a clean part number, which is how most breakdown inquiries arrive. Rama works from your own line card, branch stock, and contract pricing.
Almost nobody sends a clean part number
The number on the housing is worn off, the drawing is from 1987, and the plant needs it running by second shift. This is the input your counter works with all day.
A description, a shaft size, and an application. Rama narrows it to the likely candidates and asks the one question that settles it.
Nameplates, housings, and hand-marked tags. Rama reads what's legible and works the rest out from the frame size and the ratio.
Superseded and discontinued numbers traced through to something you can ship, with the difference called out.
Crossed to your line card, with a note on where the alternate genuinely differs so your specialist isn't guessing.
Rama looks up what they actually bought, on which PO, and confirms it before anything gets picked.
Faxes and marked-up invoices still show up daily. They get read and turned into quotable lines like anything else.
When the line is down, the order goes to whoever names the part first. Price is the second question.
Crossed to what you stock, not to a generic table
Rama knows which lines you carry, which ones you're authorised on, and which substitutions the plant will actually accept.
Sealed deep groove ball, 25mm bore. Rama crosses to whatever you actually stock and are authorised to sell, then tells you which alternate is worth offering and which one will get rejected on the plant floor. Examples shown for illustration.
Twenty years of product knowledge, on every desk
The hard part of this business is identification, and it currently lives in a handful of heads. Here's what changes when it's in the system instead.
Built for every seat, counter to corner office
Each of these people spends their week on something different. Rama fits the day they actually have.
Breakdown calls come in half-described and fully urgent. Rama identifies, checks every branch, prices to contract, and has the quote ready before the call ends.
From the breakdown call to the crib count
Rama works across the whole job, not just the quote screen.
Rama runs on your ERP, your line card, and your history
Distribution ERPs, supplier portals, your interchange data, and the twenty years of order history that already tells us what these customers buy.
Not on the list? We usually add a new connection in days.
Why I started Rama
I grew up around my dad's factory. When something seized up, the whole day became about finding one part. I remember people on the phone reading numbers off a greasy housing, then typing the same numbers into three different places.
Years later I ended up in manufacturing myself, figuring it would all have moved on by now. It hadn't. Same phone calls, same interchange books, more spreadsheets.
So that's what we're building. Not a replacement for your specialists, the people who can name a part from a description are the best part of this industry, they just spend half their week on things a machine should be doing. We'd rather they got that half back.
If that sounds like your counter, I'd love to hear how you're handling breakdown calls today.
Based on usage and results
No big upfront license. You pay for the work Rama does, and the price moves with the results it delivers.
Give us the inquiry nobody could identify
Send a week of real breakdown inquiries. We'll run them through Rama on your line card and show you what came back.
