ARC Intelligence secures €1 million

With a successful €1 million funding round, ARC Intelligence aims to further develop its data platform for SMEs and improve their operational efficiency through AI-driven analytics

Berlin, December 12, 2024 - ARC Intelligence, a Berlin-based startup offering an AI-powered data platform for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), has closed a €1 million pre-seed funding round. The round was led by investors 468 Capital and IBB Ventures.

AI platform for SMEs

ARC Intelligence offers SMEs a unified platform that combines all steps from data collection to real-time analysis. The solution enables companies to make data-based decisions and overcome operational challenges quickly and without technical expertise. Using natural language control, the platform also enables users without prior technical knowledge to perform analyses and simulations, saving time and resources.

Our goal is to equip SMEs with the most advanced AI tools that are usually only available to large companies. With ARC, companies can look at their challenges based on data and make informed decisions - without specialized teams or complicated IT infrastructures.

For example, a company can use ARC Intelligence to quickly analyze how the operating margin of a new product is developing or when material should be reordered to avoid production delays. The platform links information from various sources such as ERP, CRM and Excel spreadsheets to provide the optimum scope for action. External data, such as industry trends, is also used to make decisions.

ARC fits perfectly with our vision of transforming SMEs to be data-driven. The platform offers a unique solution for data-based decisions that would otherwise be associated with high infrastructural costs.

ARC Intelligence is aimed at SMEs that want to optimize their operations and uncover hidden costs. Initial implementations have shown that the platform can save an average of €350,000 per year in DataOps costs and accelerate reporting processes by up to 75%. Companies such as DR. KADE and Network Factory are already among the satisfied users.

With the new funding, ARC Intelligence plans to further develop its platform and integrate additional features that will allow SMEs to focus on their core competencies while the platform automates and optimizes their processes.
