Your controls

Your rules. Exactly.

Written once in plain English. Followed every time.

  • Over $10,000? Get 3 bids
  • Price up 2%? Hold the invoice
  • Bank details changed? Call before paying

Never, on any run

  • Commit spend without approval
  • Order from unapproved suppliers
  • Accept a substitute on its own
  • Mark goods received that didn't arrive

When a rule says no

It stops and asks you.

Every held item lands in one queue with the documents, the values read and the rule that fired.

Your numbers

How many hours can you get back?

Your volume, your times, your labor cost. Estimates, not results.

190staff hours per month returned to buying work
$9,120labor capacity per month
$109,440labor capacity per year

POs × (minutes today − minutes with the agent) ÷ 60 × hourly cost

These are example assumptions, not results. Minutes per PO cover request checking, quoting, entry and acknowledgment follow-up. Replace them with your own stopwatch numbers and, later, measured pilot results.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask us

Can it operate my existing ERP and supplier portals?

It works through the same desktop and browser screens your buyers use, with their permissions. ERP screens vary by version, license and customization, so we confirm the exact steps on your system before any pilot. We don't claim every ERP or portal works the same way.

Does it need APIs or an ERP replacement?

No replacement. The agent can act through your existing screens where that's the practical route, and use an API where one exists and is the better choice. Your ERP stays the system of record.

Can it create POs without approval?

Only if your policy says so. By default the agent prepares the PO and waits for the buyer who has authority over that supplier and amount. Approval rules and spend limits are set by your team.

What happens when documents disagree?

The agent doesn't pick a side. A quote, a PO and a confirmation that disagree on price, quantity or date become an exception with both values and both sources shown to the buyer.

How does it handle failed saves and duplicates?

It checks for an existing PO before creating one, reopens every record it saves to confirm the result, and retries only in ways that can't create a second order. If it can't tell whether a save went through, it stops and asks.

What can the buyer review?

The original request, each supplier's quote, the comparison, the rule results, the PO as saved and the acknowledgment, all linked from one run record with timestamps and the approver's name.
