Herndon, VA, [04/01/2025] – Four Inc. has been named a public sector distributor for Permuta, a pioneer in force readiness and operational visibility for defense and federal agencies. Through this agreement, Permuta will be accessible to the public sector via Four Inc.'s NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWPV), Information Technology Enterprise Solutions - Software 2 (ITES-SW2), and its network of channel partners as part of Four Inc.'s distribution program. This partnership combines Four Inc.’s deep understanding of the public sector’s unique technology needs and procurement processes with Permuta’s industry-leading DefenseReady platform to empower government organizations with real-time mission and workforce insights.

Permuta’s DefenseReady solution gives commanders and leaders a complete, integrated view of their workforce, training, medical readiness, assets, and mission requirements—eliminating spreadsheets and disconnected systems.

DefenseReady offers a comprehensive suite of capabilities that support total force management, including:

• Workforce Management: Real-time manning rosters, billet tracking, org structures, and strength reporting.
• Training Compliance: Integrated training plans, web-based learning, certification tracking, and training gap analysis.
• Medical Readiness: Vaccination records, medical profiles, and deployability statuses—all in one place.
• Asset & Equipment Tracking: Full lifecycle tracking of gear, weapons, fleet, and facilities with real-time issue and return management.
• Mission Planning & Sourcing: Track task forces, manage deployments, and align the right people with mission-critical roles.

“We’re incredibly excited to partner with a company like Four Inc. Their deep expertise in federal procurement and commitment to delivering mission-driven solutions aligns perfectly with our values at Permuta. Together, we’re looking forward to empowering government organizations with the tools they need to drive readiness, compliance, and operational excellence,” said Hank Prokop, Vice President of Revenue, at Permuta.
