RapidCanvas and Citwell Partner to Deliver AI-Powered Supply Chain Solutions to Mid-Market Manufacturers

Austin, Texas, February 3, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --

RapidCanvas, a leader in AI-powered business transformation, today announced a strategic partnership with Citwell, a premier supply chain consulting firm specializing in demand planning, inventory optimization, process digitization and operational excellence. Through this collaboration, Citwell will deliver AI-powered supply chain solutions under the Citwell brand, powered by RapidCanvas.

The partnership addresses a critical gap in the mid-market manufacturing sector, where companies with $100M-$1B in revenue struggle to access enterprise-grade AI capabilities without prohibitive implementation costs and timelines. By combining Citwell's deep domain expertise in supply chain management with RapidCanvas's AI platform, the partnership delivers transformational solutions up to 10x faster and at up to 80% lower cost than traditional approaches.

"This partnership represents a blueprint for how we're scaling RapidCanvas across vertical industries," said Rahul Pangam, CEO of RapidCanvas. "Citwell brings decades of supply chain expertise and trusted relationships with manufacturing leaders. By embedding our AI platform into their consulting practice, we're enabling them to transform from pure consulting to a consulting- plus-technology model that delivers exponentially more value to their clients. This is exactly the kind of domain-expert partnership that accelerates AI adoption where it matters most."

Transforming Supply Chain Decision-Making

The flagship offering is the Citwell-branded AI Control Tower, which provides real-time supply chain visibility, predictive insights, and proactive decision support. The solution encompasses demand forecasting, inventory optimization, ABC/XYZ classification, and operational dashboards—all within a single integrated platform that business users can adjust without requiring technical resources.

"Our clients have been asking for faster, more cost-effective ways to implement AI-driven supply chain solutions," said Laurent Penard, Founder and Partner at Citwell. "Traditional implementations take 30+ weeks and require substantial technical resources. With RapidCanvas, we're delivering production-ready solutions in as little as three weeks. This partnership allows us to offer our clients the best of both worlds: proven supply chain methodology backed by cutting-edge AI technology that they can actually use and adjust on their own."
