Amsterdam-based OAASIS, a company that uses AI-driven software to make advanced supply chain management and optimisation accessible to SMEs and mid-market firms, has raised €2.9 million and is officially entering the Dutch market.
OAASIS was founded by Dutch entrepreneurs Wouter Samama and Lucas Koster, who together bring over 25 years of senior experience in supply chain management and technology at multinational companies, including Procter & Gamble and Kraft Heinz.
With OAASIS, they have developed an AI-powered, modular platform that unites advanced technology with expert services in a single end-to-end solution. Their mission is to make supply chain management and optimisation at the level of large corporates accessible to SMEs and mid-market companies in the consumer goods industry.
Wouter Samama, CEO of OAASIS, shared:
Compared to large international corporates, smaller companies often lack the right software, processes and expertise for optimal supply chain management. The complexity means that many opportunities for optimisation remain unknown and untapped, while they could have a major impact on results. With OAASIS, we bridge this gap and enable these companies to operate at the same level with ease.
The platform uses advanced AI models to optimise complex supply chain operations into an efficient and transparent ecosystem. It provides users with instant visibility across the entire chain and supports smarter decisions in purchasing, production, inventory, and logistics through data insights, scenario analysis, and forecasting. This is what sets OAASIS apart from other providers in the same price segment.
Samama explains that OAASIS is nothing like a traditional inventory management platform:
It’s a tool that calculates all possible scenarios for optimisation, even when there are constraints or trade-offs to consider, such as how much inventory is needed to ensure high customer service levels.
Another distinctive feature of the platform is the support provided by experienced supply chain planners, managers, and engineers, who can be engaged by clients as needed.
OAASIS not only provides world-class technology but also offers additional support when needed. This allows our clients to get the most out of the software and complement the expertise of their in-house teams. This combination of ‘software and services’ enables supply chains to transform for maximum efficiency and optimal results,
says Samama.
Finally, its modular, plug-and-play design ensures OAASIS can be up and running within a month and easily scaled as the company grows.
The use of the platform promises a minimum ROI of 300 per cent, can boost customer satisfaction by up to 99 per cent, improve inventory accuracy by up to 30 per cent and reduce annual operational costs by up to 10 per cent.
OAASIS has secured funding from HGT Invest to develop its platform and build a strong team of 11 professionals, with Pieter de Haas joining Wouter Samama (CEO/CFO) and Lucas Koster (CTO/COO) as CCO.
Arie Thomassen, Director at HGT Invest, commented:
By combining smart technology with hands-on support, OAASIS provides significant value to smaller companies looking to continuously optimise their supply chains. We have complete confidence in the team, led by experienced management with a proven track record, and are excited to contribute to their growth.
In the coming months, the company will focus on further growth within the Benelux, with the aim of expanding within two years to the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, followed by wider European growth and entry into other continents. The official launch of OAASIS is also marked by the onboarding of its first customers, including e-Luscious, Marcel’s Green Soap, Senza Tea, The Nice Company, and Élala.
