PortX Inc. (hereinafter "PortX") is fully launching "Formula", an AI development and operation platform that seamlessly supports everything from requirements definition/design to implementation/operation, starting from business scenarios, targeting areas such as inventory judgment, fragmentation of order receiving/production/logistics, demand forecasting, delivery date responses, and risk management.

## Structural Challenges in the Supply Chain Domain
PortX has previously been involved in large-scale system development in the supply chain domain for major manufacturing industries. Through this experience, they have strongly recognized the reality that standard SaaS cannot fully handle the core operations directly linked to sales, profits, delivery times, and service quality, forcing reliance on custom development, which in itself is a heavy burden in terms of time, cost, and perception gaps.
To address these challenges, PortX aims to face users directly, starting from unorganized business issues to concretize the post-transformation state of operations from the requirements gathering stage, and proceed seamlessly through implementation to operation.
## What is the Proprietary AI Development and Operation Platform "Formula"?
Formula is an AI development and operation platform that builds systems based on business content, advancing design, requirements definition, and implementation as a unified process. It is characterized not merely by increasing development speed, but by allowing development and operation to proceed consistently while suppressing the perception gaps and rework that often occur between business operations and systems.
Formula excels particularly in the following three areas:
1. Tangibly concretizing business scenarios from the requirements gathering stage.
Based on the business content, business flows, screens, and core logic can be concretized in a short period, allowing discussions to proceed while verifying the post-transformation state from an early stage.
2. Ensuring consistency across all deliverables using the specification as the master.
Starting from the "single master specification (Formula Recipe)," the screens, design documents, code, APIs, and data definitions are generated and updated in tandem by AI agents, allowing overall consistency to be maintained while minimizing update omissions and perception gaps.
3. Seamlessly supporting not just development, but also operation and maintenance.
In the operation phase, specifications, design, and code [are supported].
