Both companies bring AI to distribution sales. But Workd delivers everything Proton offers—sales intelligence, recommendations, churn prediction—plus voice automation, operational workflows, and a complete platform that goes far beyond sales enablement.
Proton.ai pioneered AI-driven sales recommendations for distribution. We respect what they've built. But Workd takes that same foundation—analyzing transaction history, predicting customer behavior, surfacing opportunities—and extends it into a complete operational platform.
Then your team takes action manually, using your existing ERP and phone system.
Recommendations become automated actions. Insights become outcomes.
The difference isn't what we analyze—it's what happens next. Proton tells your team what to do. Workd does it.
Proton identifies customers to call. Workd's voice agents make those calls—taking orders, answering questions, scheduling follow-ups. Not a recommendation to act on. Actual execution.
Your sales recommendations are only as good as your cash flow. Workd's AI agents handle collections calls automatically—friendly reminders, payment processing, escalation workflows.
Sales recommendations are one piece. Workd handles the full journey: lead qualification, order taking, customer service, reorder automation, collections, and reactivation.
Both Workd and Proton integrate with your existing ERP. But there's a difference between "integrates with" and "replaces the need for."
Proton pulls data from your ERP to generate recommendations, then pushes insights to your CRM or email. You still need:
Proton adds intelligence. You still run the same stack.
Workd can layer onto your existing ERP—or become your system of record. Either way, you get:
Workd delivers the intelligence AND the execution.
