Cerulean is an AI automation company focused on serving contract furniture dealers and manufacturers. Our products automate manual, repetitive and error-prone workflows that slow down projects and reduce margins. Our goal is to eliminate boring work so people can focus on what matters, thereby freeing design, sales, and service teams to focus on creativity, relationships and other higher value work.

General-purpose AI tools are built for broad use cases. Cerulean AI tools are purpose built and specialized to contract furniture dealers and manufacturers. Our models are trained on industry-specific data, our workflows are optimized to industry data structures and formats, and connect directly to the systems already used across the industry like Cyncly CAP Worksheet, Configura Spec, Hedberg and Core.

AI tools exist in three tiers: general-purpose platforms (ChatGPT, Copilot et al), industry-agnostic workflow tools (e.g. Agentforce), and vertical AI built for a specific industry. Cerulean sits in the third category. We combine deep knowledge of contract furniture with purpose-trained AI models and purpose-built software to deliver automation that works out of the box, without requiring a technical team or months of onboarding.

Yes.

Cerulean best suits mid-to-large dealers and manufacturers because they’ve reached a scale with meaningful volume where manual data entry and operational bottlenecks are starting to limit capacity or margin. If your team spends hours a week on quote data entry, acknowledgment reconciliation, or spec checking, Cerulean delivers immediate ROI.

Cerulean automates a range of workflows including data entry, quote-to-SIF, document reconciliation, acknowledgement reconciliation, specification double-checking, spec checks, lookbook creation, budget creation, labor install quotes and reordering.

Yes. Port extracts data from vendor quotes (PDFs or images) with high accuracy and generates clean SIF files ready for CAP, Spec, Hedberg, and other business systems. It processes quotes at 1,000x human speed with 5x better accuracy than manual entry.

Yes. Match automates the comparison of acknowledgment documents against purchase orders, flagging discrepancies in pricing, quantities, lead times, shipping addresses and line items.

Yes. Proof reviews floorplans to detect, classify and count objects in context of their surroundings. These objects are then intelligently matched to specification lists (SIF), surfacing discrepancies to accelerate the doublecheck process.

Yes. Atlas automates the creation of project artifacts including lookbooks, budgets, and labor and install quotes. It maintains a living version of a project's contents — always current, always consistent — linked to a growing catalog of leading manufacturers.

We listen closely to early adopters. Every solution we build starts with a real pain point surfaced by dealers who are willing to go deep with us — describing the workflow, the workarounds, the cost of getting it wrong. We don't build in isolation; we build alongside the dealers who feel the problem most acutely, then validate that the solution works in production before we scale it.

Yes. Port generates SIF files that are compatible with CAP, Spec, Hedberg, and other dealer business systems. We're built to fit into your existing workflow, not replace it.

Yes. Cerulean is building a growing set of API integrations with the business systems dealers already use. If you have a specific integration in mind, let us know; customer needs drive our integration roadmap.

Cerulean layers on top of your existing systems, not replace them. We integrate with the tools you already use and output data in the formats your business systems expect.

Most dealers go live with our products within a few weeks. Cerulean handles setup, configuration, testing and training as part of white-glove onboarding, so your team can start processing quotes almost immediately.

No. Cerulean is designed for non-technical users. Our team handles the implementation, and the products are intuitive enough for anyone on your team to use from day one.

Onboarding is hands-on and handled by the Cerulean team. We configure the product to your specific setup and train your team directly. The goal is confident, high-adoption use from day one.

All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Cerulean uses secure infrastructure with strict access controls to protect your pricing, vendor, and customer information.

Cerulean is currently undergoing SOC 2 certification. We're happy to share our security documentation and policies on request.
