  • Work with Marketing, Creative, Regulatory, Clinical, Legal, and Product on launch assets, claims, and compliance, including labeling and regulatory needs for sales.

About the Company

Pendulum

AI-driven supply chain planning and forecasting

Pendulum builds an AI-driven platform for strategic business and supply chain planning. It integrates fragmented internal data—such as inventory, procurement, and pricing—to forecast demand, optimize supply, and provide real-time asset visibility, even in environments with limited data or connectivity. The system learns autonomously and aims to replace manually calibrated planning tools, with applications across retail, healthcare, government, and national security, including Adore Me (16% stockout reduction without more inventory) and a GPS-denied navigation capability for military operations. The goal is to reduce large-scale losses from supply chain inefficiencies by delivering end-to-end planning, forecasting, and logistics through an integrated AI platform.
