MIAMI, Aug. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Autoket, an AI-powered B2B marketplace for automotive fleet parts, today announced its comprehensive rebrand and relaunch as Supply Veins. This strategic shift reflects a broader vision to build the next generation of intelligent supply chain technology across air, land, and sea by addressing the communication breakdown that occurs between buyers and suppliers.
Supply Veins is an AI-powered communications platform that streamlines procurement, centralizes supplier data, and enhances buyer-supplier relationships for greater efficiency. “We discovered the real supply chain problem was a universal communication gap, not just in auto parts,” said Charles Masters Rodriguez, a West Point graduate and U.S. Army veteran and Co-Founder and CEO of Supply Veins. “Supply Veins is our solution to foster seamless interactions between buyers and suppliers across all industries. We’ve created the first Unified Supplier Communication System (USCS).”
The platform is particularly beneficial for businesses that routinely purchase products from multiple suppliers and struggle with purchase order management and tracking. Current pilot program participants span diverse sectors, including auto manufacturing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, distributors, hardware startups and SMBs.
Supply Veins, Autoket at the time, participated in the PenFed Foundation for Military Heroes’ Veteran Entrepreneur Program as part of the Fall 2024 cohort. Since 2018, the Veteran Entrepreneur Program has supported 100+ military founders. Through the Foundation and its network of investors, mentors, and subject matter experts, alumni founders have accessed several million dollars in startup capital, grown a network of key stakeholders, and received invaluable mentorship from industry experts.
“We are incredibly proud of Charles and the evolution of Supply Veins in the marketplace,” said Andrea McCarren, President of the PenFed Foundation for Military Heroes. “This strategic pivot, showcasing remarkable adaptability and innovative spirit, is a testament to the lasting impact of the Veteran Entrepreneur Program.”
