services / ai / procurement assistants

Procurement runs on documents. AI reads documents.

Quotes in fifteen formats, spec sheets, framework terms, purchase requests — procurement is paperwork with money attached. We build assistants that read it all, line things up for comparison, and leave your buyers making decisions instead of retyping tables.

where it helps

What we automate

Quote comparison

Supplier quotes normalised into one comparable view — prices, lead times, exclusions and sneaky footnotes — with every figure traceable to the source document.

Spec matching

Does the offered product actually meet the specification? Requirements checked line by line against datasheets, deviations flagged for a human eye.

Purchase-request triage

Incoming requests validated, categorised, checked against budgets and policies, and routed to the right approver — the two-day email chain becomes a same-morning decision.

Supplier document watch

Insurance, accreditations and compliance papers tracked for validity and expiry — the same pattern as our document processing work, pointed at your supply chain.

Tender pack analysis

Obligations, deadlines, evaluation criteria and red flags extracted from lengthy tender documents — a structured starting point in minutes, not a lost afternoon.

Spend visibility

Historic purchase data cleaned and categorised so "what do we actually spend with whom?" finally has an answer — often the highest-value first step.

// the principle

Assistive, auditable, and humans sign off

Procurement decisions face scrutiny — internal audit, framework rules, sometimes public-sector regulation. So everything these assistants produce is traceable: every extracted figure links to its source line, every comparison shows its working, and awards or approvals are made by your people. AI does the reading; the accountability stays human, with a paper trail better than the manual process ever kept.

faq

Common questions

Our quotes arrive as PDFs, spreadsheets and email bodies. All of them?

That mix is the normal case and exactly what the pilot measures: we run your real recent quotes through and show you extraction accuracy per format before you commit.

Does it integrate with our ERP or finance system?

Yes — validated data flowing into your existing systems is the point. That's standard integration work for us.

What does it cost?

A pilot on one workflow — typically quote comparison, on your real documents — runs £5,000–£15,000 fixed-price with measured accuracy as the deliverable. Production follows only if the numbers earn it.
