Why Your Supply Chain Needs AI Now | Cofactr on Ctrl+Listen

The electronics supply chain has never been more volatile — and the companies that ignore AI risk getting left behind entirely. In this episode of the Ctrl+Listen Podcast, host James sits down with Matthew Haber (CEO) and Phillip Gulley (CSO), co-founders of Cofactr, for a wide-ranging conversation on how AI is fundamentally reshaping hardware procurement, component sourcing, and supply chain management. From their unexpected origin story — building tours for Coachella acts and escape rooms for The Walking Dead — to solving year-long lead times for autonomous vehicle pioneer Zoox, Matt and Phil reveal how frustration with electronics supply chain chaos led them to build Cofactr from the ground up. Cofactr is now transforming how hardware teams go from bill of materials to kitted components delivered on schedule — with a free platform tier that removes friction for manufacturers of all sizes. Tune in to hear how AI handles everything from scrubbing supplier quotes to warehouse receiving verification, why 5 procurement professionals at Cofactr can do the work of 50, and why supply chain volatility isn't going away anytime soon. Whether you're a startup engineer or a Fortune 10 procurement manager, this episode is essential listening for anyone navigating today's unpredictable electronics market. ⚙️ Resources from this Episode: Connect with Matthew:   / matthew-haber-   Connect with Phillip:   / phillip-gulley-52801937   Learn more about Cofactr: https://www.cofactr.com/ ✨ Don't Miss Out: Subscribe to our channel for more electronics, supply chain, and industry content:    / @octopart   ⚙️ Browse Octopart for Parts & Tech News: https://octopart.com/ ⚙️ TikTok:   / octopart_official   ⚙️ Instagram:   / octopart   #SupplyChain #ElectronicsManufacturing #AIAutomation 0:00 Intro 1:10 Guests and Company Background 04:02 Cofactr Product Offering 07:11 Personal Impact 09:59 Scaling Hardware 13:00 Cofactr Business Model 16:30 Supply Chain Evolution 18:54 Free Tier Benefits 21:51 AI Crucial Processes 25:00 AI Human Collaboration ‍‍ 27:22 Small vs. Large Firms 30:20 Agility Rigor Balance ️ 33:18 Domestic Manufacturing 35:43 AI Adoption Strategy 38:16 AI Outsourced Service outsourced 41:33 Chip Manufacturing 45:30 Cofactr.com Contact
