The round was led by Accel and Google’s venture arm, with participation from New Build Venture Capital, Antler, Schema Ventures, and SAP ecosystem angels. The company claims its platform resolves incidents and change requests across systems like SAP, Salesforce, and Microsoft Dynamics while documenting undocumented exceptions and customizations—problems that cost enterprises over $600 billion annually in maintenance costs.\n\nThe platform acts as a control plane, connecting business processes, ERP customizations, and legacy configurations to pinpoint root causes, recommend fixes, and modernize systems faster. Dodge AI says it already works with more than a dozen enterprises, including publicly listed companies, handling hundreds of queries hourly. Customers report results like resolving a warehouse loading issue in minutes and improving inventory planning by 132x, freeing teams of manual work. The company positions its solution as a step toward enabling production agents to operate safely in mission-critical systems by capturing hidden operational logic.","keyPoints":["Dodge AI raised $2.65M from Accel, Google Ventures, and SAP ecosystem investors to automate enterprise software maintenance","Platform resolves incidents across SAP, Salesforce, and Microsoft Dynamics while documenting undocumented customizations","Customers report fixes like 132x faster inventory planning and resolving warehouse issues in minutes"],"whyItMatters":"The $600B enterprise maintenance problem is ripe for AI disruption.
