### NECTON Co.Hyun-ji Park

NECTON is an Enterprise AX company applying AI to corporate procurement. Factory floors have been automated, but the purchasing work upstream is still manual — people reading documents and comparing them by hand. Our platform, YRP, uses Document AI to structure quotations of any format, compare them side by side, and accumulate item-level price history and supplier data as a lasting asset. That data is converted into negotiation reports that give procurement teams a factual basis for decisions. This is the last unautomated segment of the manufacturing value chain, and the one that determines supply chain transparency. Because the system is built to be format- and language-agnostic, it scales across markets — and global expansion is our next step.
