Procurement AI Agents

PMO1 Procurement agents streamline your source-to-pay process by autonomously drafting RFPs, validating compliance, and shortlisting preferred suppliers. It eliminates the manual drudgery of data gathering and template management, allowing your procurement team to execute faster and secure better commercial terms.

RFP Submission Agent

An AI agent that automates the end-to-end RFP creation process. It autonomously drafts, validates, and refines RFP documents using real-time historical data, compliance protocols, and preferred supplier intelligence

Contract Compliance Agent

This Agent turns static contract PDFs into a searchable, interactive knowledge base. and allows managers to query complex agreements in plain English

Tail Spend Buying Assistant

This agent automates the management of "tail spend" (high-volume, low-value purchases) by guiding users to existing catalogs or autonomously running simplified RFQs.

RFP Drafting Agent

This agent acts as an automated sourcing architect, instantly converting a simple manager request into a fully comprehensive RFP package.

Invoice Reconciliation Agent

This agent helps resolve "three-way match" failures by analyzing invoices against POs and contracts. It doesn't just flag discrepancies; it identifies the root cause and drafts the resolution for one-click approval.

Maverick Spend Agent

This agent detects "off-contract" spending and aggregates data from disparate systems to identify value leakage.

FAQs

How does a Procurement AI Agent drive EBITDA impact? arrow faq
The agent drives value through three levers: Spend Visibility (classifying 100% of data to identify leakage), Sourcing Excellence (automating RFx processes to reach more suppliers), and Demand Management (flagging non-compliant or "maverick" spend in real-time).
How does the agent handle "Tail Spend" management? arrow faq
This is a primary use case. The agent automates the "three bids and a buy" process for unmanaged tail spend. It ingests the requisition, identifies suitable vendors, sends RFQs, compares responses, and recommends the best award—reducing processing costs by up to 80%.
How do you handle unstructured data like PDF contracts and email threads? arrow faq
We utilize OCR combined with Vision-Language Models to ingest PDF invoices, scanned contracts, and email chains. The agent converts this unstructured noise into structured data (e.g., extracting "Payment Terms: Net 60" from a scanned PDF) for analysis.
What LLMs are best suited for Procurement tasks? arrow faq
We typically employ a Mixture of Experts (MoE) approach. We might use a highly capable model (like Llama 3 70B) for complex contract analysis and a faster, lighter model (like Mistral) for routine classification tasks to optimize for latency and cost.
How do you prevent the agent from approving unauthorized spend? arrow faq
The agent is governed by a deterministic logic layer. While the content is generated by AI, the action (approval) is gated by hard-coded business rules (e.g., "If amount > $50k, route to Human CFO"). It cannot bypass your Delegation of Authority (DoA).
