Start chatting with Procurement: Procure Ai’s Microsoft Teams integration enables connected buying experiences

Procure Ai now integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Teams, allowing employees to create and manage purchase requests without leaving the chat platform they already use every day. The new integration simplifies the user experience, boosts productivity, and drives process compliance all within a single, familiar workspace.

When buying is a roadblock

In many organizations, submitting a purchase request is a dreadful experience. Dated procurement platforms, a lack of process guidance, complicated forms, and clunky processes and workflows turn what should be a straightforward task into a chore. At best, these processes slow employees down or lead to maverick purchases. At worst, they reduce the adoption of procurement processes and create the perception that procurement is a roadblock to work getting done. 

Meeting stakeholders where they are

With Procure Ai’s Microsoft Teams integration, procurement happens where employees are already collaborating. Users can now engage with procurement directly and manage purchase requests in a dedicated Teams chat, powered by Procure Ai’s Generative Intake Management.

Submitting a request is as simple as having a conversation. Employees just open the dedicated chat and describe what they need in plain language. They will then be guided through the entire procurement process from request submission to tracking.

For example, an employee might type in the ProcureAi Teams tab: “I need 10 ergonomic chairs for the new office.”

Procure Ai then confirms the details, matches suppliers, and provides product options with prices and lead times. Once the employee confirms, the request is automatically submitted for approval and tracking — all within Teams. The result is a seamless, intuitive buying experience that saves time and keeps processes compliant.

Buying experiences that empower, not obstruct

With Procure Ai’s Generative Intake Management integrated into Microsoft Teams, procurement becomes as easy as sending a chat message.

Within Teams, employees can:

  • Submit purchase requests directly from chat.
  • Use conversational language instead of (semi)structured forms.
  • Receive smart suggestions and product matching when connected to catalogs or B2B marketplaces like Unite.
  • Track and approve requests. 

The result? No more rogue purchases or maverick spending — just fast, compliant, and intelligent buying, right where work happens. Procurement becomes a partner that enables productivity rather than slowing it down.
