Dodge AI is building an AI control plane for enterprise application maintenance. The platform resolves incidents and change requests across systems like SAP and Salesforce, and turns the undocumented exceptions and customizations buried inside every enterprise into a source of truth for production agents.
San Francisco, CA – September 29, 2026; Enterprise software is never finished. Once SAP, Salesforce, Oracle, or Microsoft Dynamics goes live, the business keeps changing, and thousands of company-specific rules get built into the software over years. When something breaks, the answer is rarely in one place. Keeping it all running costs enterprises more than $600 billion a year.
Dodge AI has raised $2.65 million to change how that work gets done, with an AI platform that resolves incidents and change requests across enterprise applications while documenting the custom logic that makes each system unique. The round was led by Accel and Google’s venture arm, with participation from Schema Ventures, New Build Ventures, Antler, and angels from the SAP ecosystem.
Why this matters now
For decades, enterprise application maintenance has run through large system integrators like Accenture, TCS, and IBM. The standard playbook: put 20 to 50 people offshore to handle incidents, change requests, background jobs, and the everyday operational fires that keep enterprise systems alive.
That model keeps the lights on, but it creates a deeper problem. Fixes go undocumented, customizations pile up, and technical debt compounds inside systems of record. Over time enterprises grow more dependent on their maintenance partner, because the knowledge of how the system actually works lives across tickets, consultants, configuration layers, and memory.
“For a long time, the only way to maintain enterprise systems was to add more people,” said Rebhav Bharadwaj, Co-Founder and CEO of Dodge AI. “We believe long-horizon agents can change that. Dodge AI gives enterprises the ability to continuously improve & heal their mission critical systems so incidents can be resolved faster, technical debt can be understood, and the knowledge trapped inside maintenance work can become the foundation for future transformation.”
What Dodge AI is building
Dodge AI’s platform acts as a control plane across enterprise applications including SAP, Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, Kinaxis, Oracle JDE and the other systems that sit at the core of large companies. It connects across business processes, ERP customizations, ITSM systems, and legacy configurations to pinpoint root causes, recommend fixes, and modernize faster.
The platform is also designed to become a source of truth for agents operating in production. In enterprise systems, the most important knowledge lives in the exceptions: why one warehouse allocates inventory differently, why one pricing rule overrides another, why a background job runs only at night.
“Frontier models are incredibly capable, but enterprise adoption still requires significant hill climbing. Dodge AI captures the necessary rules and exceptions for this—while self healing your systems instead of an endless transformation project.” said Aditya Thakur, Co-Founder and CTO, of Dodge AI
Traction
Dodge AI is already working with more than a dozen enterprises, half of them publicly listed companies, on incident management and process optimization across stacks like SAP, Kinaxis, and Microsoft Dynamics. The platform fields hundreds of queries every hour, giving Dodge AI a widening view into how enterprise systems break and which patterns drive repeat maintenance work.
The results are concrete. When a truck could not load at a warehouse because a Goods Receipt Note was printing incorrect information, Dodge AI traced the fault across SAP, Kinaxis, and internal warehouse software and delivered a fix within minutes. Another customer had been running inventory planning overnight because SAP kept crashing if it ran in the morning; Dodge AI modernized the process and made it 132x faster, freed the team of 10 people maintaining it, and improved order allocation time by 8 hours.
What’s next
Dodge AI sees maintenance as the entry point to a much larger change in enterprise IT. Companies want to modernize, but CIOs cannot risk breaking systems that already work, and tight budgets are consumed by daily incidents. Solving maintenance first frees IT teams from constant firefighting and gives them a clearer path to modernization, because the same exception intelligence that resolves incidents today is what lets production agents operate safely inside mission-critical systems tomorrow.
“Application maintenance is one of the largest and least modernized categories in enterprise technology,” said Prayank Swaroop, investor at Accel. “Dodge AI is taking on the work that keeps the world’s most important systems running every day. By starting with maintenance, the team is building the context layer enterprises need before agents can safely operate in production.”
The company is now pushing deeper into the maintenance layer, into the exceptions, configurations, and operational logic that define how each enterprise actually runs. Whoever understands mission-critical systems best gets to automate them, and Dodge AI is turning the hidden intelligence inside every enterprise into the operating manual for the agents that will run enterprise IT.
