About - nine axiom

Our Story

"Watching global operations managers build S&OP plans in Excel until dawn, I knew there had to be a better way. Maybe it's not about saving the world — but if you care at all about the people you work with, you can't just look the other way. In the age of AI, we're still doing this manually - I'm solving this with advanced physics and 30 years of SCM experience."

nine axiom was born from frustrations accumulated over 30 years in manufacturing. From MES/SCADA at Korean SI firms, government IT projects in the US, 18 years of SCM and business innovation at Samsung Electronics, to heading IT strategy at a global footwear OEM - that experience is WARP's foundation.

The Problem: Companies with billions in revenue still use Excel and manual processes for production planning. Existing solutions are slow (250 min), fragmented (6 separate plans), and can't answer the most critical question: "How much profit?"

The Conviction: By combining physics-based differential equations with AI optimization, we can simulate an entire enterprise's flow in 3 seconds and automatically find the optimal answer.
