About ShelfCycle
ShelfCycle is an AI-native ERP and CRM for chemical distributors. It handles orders, inventory, hazmat documents, freight, certificates, and accounting in one system of record. The platform covers blending, repackaging, relabeling, and private label work alongside the paperwork and books behind them. AI agents built into the system draft orders from a forwarded purchase order, a PDF, or a phone call. They flag anything unclear for a person to check before it saves. An API lets outside tools such as Copilot, Claude, and Gemini read and write to the same records under rules the company sets.
ShelfCycle is based in New York, NY, with an office near Bryant Park. Michael Harrison founded the company and serves as its chief executive officer. Customers named by the company include U.S. Chemicals and ClearEdge. U.S. Chemicals' chief information officer Chris Piccaro says office staff there save seven to ten hours a week using the system. ClearEdge's chief executive officer Sean Wagner says the platform replaced five separate systems his team used before.

Why Investors Backed ShelfCycle
ShelfCycle sells ERP and CRM software built for chemical distributors. Michael Harrison founded the company and runs it as chief executive officer. The product combines orders, inventory, hazmat paperwork, freight, and accounting in one system, and its AI agents draft orders while an API connects outside tools to the same records. Chemical distributors such as U.S. Chemicals and ClearEdge have put the platform to work.
The problem it targets
ShelfCycle's case is that distributors still run on spreadsheets that break the moment a supplier changes a price underneath them. Sean Wagner, ClearEdge's chief executive officer, says that without the platform his company would be juggling five separate systems and losing time and energy to them.
What the product does
ShelfCycle's agents follow the same pattern for every task. First they find the right record. Then they show what an action would do before it happens. Next they act inside limits the company sets. Finally they leave a verified, linked record behind. The system also tracks landed cost by lot. It flags a price difference when a supplier invoice does not match the quote. It also matches bank statement lines to invoices automatically.
Progress so far
Chem/Serv moved its business onto ShelfCycle and reached its most consistent inventory in twenty years, according to a company case study. ShelfCycle describes itself as a pre-Series A startup with an office near Bryant Park in New York City. It has also posted open roles for an account executive, a senior software engineer, and an implementation manager, including a remote sales role based in Nashville, Tennessee.
