Cortrova: every question, answered.

Cortrova is an AI-native manufacturing ERP. It unifies 17 production departments - safety, quality, maintenance, production, scheduling, inventory, purchasing, sales and orders, shipping, documents, and finance - into one platform with 205+ features and 65 embedded AI agents. It is ITAR-aware and CMMC 2.0 ready, and deploys in the cloud, on-premises, or fully air-gapped. Cortrova is the rebranded successor to Project Cortex, a Trunnion AI product built under Viceroy NM in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Regulated discrete and contract manufacturers, typically 10 to 500 employees, in aerospace and defense, automotive, energy, food and beverage, government, and general industrial. It fits operations that need one system instead of separate apps for safety, quality, maintenance, production, inventory, delivery, and finance - especially those with AS9100, IATF 16949, ITAR, CMMC, FDA, or ISO obligations.

Intelligence is embedded in every module, dashboard, and workflow rather than added as a separate analytics or BI product. 65 AI agents read live operating data and surface predictions, root causes, and prescriptive actions inside the tools your team already uses - the predictive incident engine in Safety, SPC anomaly detection in Quality, condition-based prediction in Maintenance, on-time-delivery prediction in Delivery, and stockout prediction in Inventory all run continuously, not on demand.

One platform on one shared data model. The 11 modules group the 17 production departments into how teams actually work, but they are not separate apps bolted together - a defect event, an overdue work order, or a schedule change ripples through the whole operation automatically, with no re-keying between systems and no integration tax.

Cortrova spans 17 production departments. Those departments are grouped into 11 modules (the level teams navigate the product at), and the homepage highlights 6 of the most-used modules. All three describe the same platform at different resolutions; the headline feature number is 205+.

Legacy ERP (the NetSuite, Epicor, Plex, SAP, and Infor tier) is typically licensed per seat and per module, implemented over 3 to 12 months, with analytics and compliance added as separate products. Cortrova is flat-rate with unlimited users, ships all 205+ features on day one, goes live in 4 to 8 weeks, and embeds the AI and the compliance frameworks natively. You are not buying a base system and then paying to light up the parts you need.

Those are capable, broad ERPs, but they are generally per-seat and tiered, with long implementations and AI or analytics sold as add-ons. Cortrova differs on four axes: AI-native (intelligence embedded in every workflow, not a BI bolt-on), all-included (no feature tiers, unlimited users at a flat annual rate), fast (4 to 8 weeks to go-live), and compliance-native (AS9100, IATF 16949, ITAR, CMMC, FDA, ISO built in). It is purpose-built for regulated discrete and contract manufacturing rather than being a horizontal platform configured down to fit.

Point tools like a standalone QMS, EHS app, or CMMS each solve one department but do not share a data model, so a quality escape, a safety hazard, and an overdue work order live in three systems that do not talk. Cortrova unifies those functions on one platform, so a defect can raise a hazard cluster and an overdue PM can raise an asset risk score automatically - and you replace the integration and reconciliation work entirely.

BI dashboards report what already happened. Cortrova's agents predict what is about to happen and prescribe the action inside the workflow - holding a lot before it ships, re-sequencing a work order, or flagging a converging safety risk - with the records behind every recommendation. The intelligence lives where the work is done, not in a separate reporting tool.

Seven regulated manufacturing verticals: aerospace, automotive, defense, government, energy, food and beverage, and general industrial. Each carries the compliance frameworks that vertical is audited against as native capabilities.

Aerospace: AS9100 Rev D, AS9102 first-article, ITAR, CMMC, Nadcap special processes. Automotive: IATF 16949, PPAP (18 elements), APQP, FMEA, SPC. Defense: ITAR, DFARS clause flow-down, CMMC 2.0 Level 2, counterfeit prevention. Government: FAR/DFARS, DCAA cost accounting, non-deletable audit trails. Energy: OSHA PSM, EPA reporting, predictive maintenance. Food and beverage: FDA 21 CFR Part 11, HACCP, SQF/FSMA lot traceability. Industrial: ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 across job shop, make-to-order, make-to-stock, and engineer-to-order.

Most manufacturers go live in 4 to 8 weeks through a five-phase parallel deployment: discovery and planning, data migration, configuration and AI calibration, user training, and a validated go-live. That is faster than the 3 to 6 months typical of mid-market ERP and the 6 to 12 months typical of tier-1 systems.

Yes. All 205+ features across the 17 production departments are active at go-live - no modules gated behind later phases, no tiers, no add-on activation. The parallel run before cutover exists to validate, not to hold capabilities back.

A flat annual rate with unlimited users - no per-seat licensing and no feature tiers. The whole platform, every department, every employee. Tell us your headcount and we will scope a number quickly.

Yes. Cortrova unifies what most manufacturers run across separate apps into one source of truth, and the implementation includes a parallel run that validates data integrity and AI behavior against your live operation before cutover.
