Account Brief ยท Codvo

Account A: mid-size manufacturer, plant modernization underway

A new VP of Operations has a downtime target and a paused RFP. Codvo's angle: pick up the predictive maintenance work the RFP left unfinished, starting with the meetings and field reports that already exist.

This brief runs on the bundled sample profile, data/account.md, not a live account. No external research was done: the profile itself is the source.
Who buys

CIO owns the budget. VP Operations owns the decision.

Two different buyers, two different reasons to say yes.

The CIO's team controls the software budget generally. But for anything that touches the plant floor, the VP of Operations is the economic buyer, hired this year with a mandate for "digital plant." That split matters: a pitch aimed only at IT will stall without the VP's sponsorship, and a pitch aimed only at the VP will stall without CIO budget sign-off.

What they care about

Cutting unplanned downtime 20 percent in two years.

A public target, a paused RFP, and reports still filed by email.

Account A issued an RFP for predictive maintenance last quarter, then paused it. They've made a public statement about cutting unplanned downtime 20 percent within two years. Day to day, the gap is more basic: Teams meetings get recorded but never summarized, and field engineers still file reports by email instead of into the CMMS.

Where Codvo fits

Three products, three separate gaps.

NeIO Meeting Assistant, Agentic GIS, managed AI services.

NeIO Meeting Assistant for the operations and field teams: Teams-native summaries and action items, so recorded meetings stop going to waste.

Agentic GIS for asset and site data, replacing a desktop GIS tool currently used by two people.

Managed AI services to restart the predictive maintenance program the paused RFP left open.

The one risk

The CIO's team got burned by a stalled analytics rollout.

Anything that looks like "another platform" will meet resistance.

A prior analytics rollout stalled, and the CIO's team remembers it. The pitch has to read as a fix to a specific, named gap (unsummarized meetings, a desktop GIS tool two people use, a paused RFP) rather than a new platform to adopt. Scope small, name the gap, show the incumbent tool being replaced.
