We help owners see how their business really runs, then improve it.
Cornermark works with owner-run companies that make or move physical products. We read the systems you already run on, and improve what we find: your numbers, your processes, the work agents can take, and what you sell with.
Who we are
Cornermark was started by an industrial engineer who spent the years since writing software for the systems money moves through: payment integrations, a lending platform, healthcare billing, and the customer analytics of a national subscription business. The last two of those put AI into real work.
The same pattern showed up everywhere. The data to see how the company really ran was already there, spread across systems nobody had joined. The people who could fix a process rarely had its numbers. Cornermark joins the two: we connect your systems, measure how the work runs, and use software and AI to improve it. An advisor who runs supplier and category management in healthcare keeps the buying side of the business in the room.
Every system knows one part of your business. None of them shows you the whole.
Your books know what you spent. The ERP knows what shipped. The bank knows what cleared. Software bills grow every month, and nobody adds them up.
So the owner runs on a spreadsheet someone rebuilds by hand. What an order really costs, where the hours go, which tools earn their keep: those answers wait.
We started Cornermark to make the whole business visible, and then to improve what we find.
What we believe
01
See it before you change it.
Cost, hours, cases and products go into one view first. Every change after that is measured against it.
02
Count it from your records.
Your accounting, ERP, bank and software bills already hold the answers. We count from them, so nothing rests on a guess.
03
Know what technology costs.
We run integrations, software, cloud and AI agents every day and pay for them ourselves. That is how we price yours.
How we work, in any service
We map how work actually moves through your company, from your own records. When we change something, you watch the number move.
A client flowchart, North River Supply, order to cash. Five steps across four lanes: the customer finds the product (412 pages) and asks for a quote (41 a week); the team sends the quote (28 a run, was 142); an agent enters the order (0.38 an order); the systems know the margin on every order. The side panel shows the selected step’s figures, who does it and what changed.
