“The aPriori Manufacturing Insights Platform helps manufacturing executives transform their businesses by simulating the digital impact that new and existing product designs will have on cost as well as carbon emissions, manufacturability, supply chain availability, and other attributes,” said Stephanie Feraday, aPriori President and Chief Executive Officer. “Vista Credit Partners provides us with resources and expertise to help drive our continued success.”

This provides an end-to-end solution to automate product manufacturing cost estimations to increase profitability while mitigating downstream production issues and time-to-market delays.
