About us

Founded in 2022, Holocene came out of a simple but frustrating pattern: enterprise systems were either too rigid to adapt or too light to scale. Planners, buyers, and supply chain leads were stuck between workarounds and chaos — with no platform designed to handle the way real decisions happen.

We believed there had to be a better way: one that could connect strategy to execution, planning to action, and people to outcomes — without ripping out what teams already use.

Today, Holocene helps businesses around the world reduce friction, fix misalignment, and make smarter supply chain decisions with less effort. Our product evolves with the market — because it was designed to.

We’re here to make complex problems easier to manage, not more complicated to understand. That’s our philosophy. That’s the product.


We are looking forward to hearing from you!
