Structure free-text requests, guide stakeholders to the right buying channels, and onboard suppliers without friction. While others hide behind policies, you increase compliance and competition across indirect spend.
Indirect spend is what the business runs on: marketing agencies, IT services, facility management, consultants, office supplies. Most requesters buy once a year and don't know the policy, the preferred suppliers, or the right buying channel. An email or a phone call to the supplier they already know. Procurement is involved too late to influence the decision or the price. No bad intentions, no lack of policy - it just doesn’t show up in the moments that matter.
Unstructured
requests.
Free-text requisitions, email requests, missing specifications. Every incomplete request starts a clarification cycle, and buyers spend their time translating needs instead of shaping them.
Unused buying
channels.
Catalogs, marketplaces, frame agreements, preferred suppliers. They only create value when stakeholders find them. When they don't, spend goes to whoever the requester already knows.
Under the radar.
Single quotes, new suppliers, high volume, low value. When individual orders are below procurement involvement thresholds, you can’t even blame maverick spend for the lack of compliance.
Forget the procurement intranet page. Give your stakeholders a central place and frictionless experience for purchase, supplier, contract, and sourcing requests with our dialog-based intake, available on a Google-like home screen or directly in Microsoft Teams. Get involved early, when the need emerges and before a supplier has been chosen.
Not every need fits into a form. Free up buyer capacity by structuring free-text requisitions with our natural language processing capabilities, using purchasing context, historic purchases, and semantic similarities. Turn service needs into clear SOWs, questionnaires, and cost templates with our GenAI Scope Generator agent and reduce the rework rate by 78%.
A strategy only works when stakeholders follow it. Bring your Buying Channel Strategy to life at the point of need with our chat-based AI Intake Agent. Perform real-time catalog and marketplace checks, recommend preferred suppliers, surface existing contracts, and point stakeholders to the right contact when they get stuck, so existing category strategies become operational, not ignored.
Your stakeholders shouldn't need a policy training to buy a service. Reduce maverick spend by embedding your procurement, IT & data security, and TPRM policies into category-specific workflows. Check every request for completeness and compliance as it is created and avoid rejections with guidance from the start.
New suppliers shouldn't take months. Let stakeholders request new suppliers directly from our central intake pane, then automate outreach, data collection, review, and approval management with customizable onboarding workflows. Define your qualification requirements once and let your business get to work faster.
Don't be satisfied with the first quote (because it's the only one). Let stakeholders run tactical sourcing events under your supervision and configure autonomous negotiation agents in our AI Negotiation Cockpit to deliver an average 4.9% savings. Guidance doesn't stop at the negotiation, and neither do we. Orchestrate the Source-to-Pay process with our Procurement Automation Platform.
Create category-specific requests, SOWs, and RFPs that reduce the rework rate by 78%, without building a structured form for every category.
