GREENVILLE, S.C., Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Kopis, a Greenville, South Carolina-based tech firm specializing in high-impact software, cloud solutions, and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) services to businesses and state agencies nationwide, has announced the integration of Orange Bees, a developer of best-in-class software and consulting services, as well as its proprietary technology solutions including HoneyBrain, an industry-leading AI-powered quality control platform.

"Orange Bees' track record of delivering high-quality enterprise solutions is crucial as we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in our industry," said Andrew Kurtz, founder and CEO of Kopis.

HoneyBrain assists in our goal of helping customers improve their scalability, repeatability and reliability."

In 2019, Orange Bees was recognized as South Carolina's fastest-growing company and has worked with notable clients such as General Electric, Capital One, Milliken, and BMW Group.
