Makersite is an award-winning data software company that empowers teams to manage product sustainability, cost and compliance, simultaneously, from web to browser. Our mission is to help manufacturing companies make better decisions and create safer, more sustainable products through data-driven analysis. We believe that technology can help corporations to have a more positive impact on their environment. That is why we developed a platform that uses cutting edge technology, big data and breakthrough algorithms to deliver product intelligence unlike anything on the market.

For manufacturing companies with complex supply chains that want to accelerate product development, build resilience or reduce costs, Makersite is a disruptive digital twin platform that uses AI to connect and enrich cross-departmental data into live models for analysis, collaboration and decision support.
