Why agents

Procurement is mostly copy-paste.

The job hasn't changed in 20 years: pull data out of one system, paste it into another, write the same email to ten suppliers, parse the replies by hand. Agents do this work end-to-end.

Manual procurement

  • Copy-pasting specs from PDFs into spreadsheets and ERPs.
  • Sending the same RFQ email to 12 suppliers, one by one.
  • Reading every reply and re-keying prices, lead times, MOQs.
  • Chasing late deliveries via email, follow-up, follow-up again.
  • Re-running the whole flow next month for the same SKU.

Agent-led procurement

  • Specs parsed once, fields extracted into structured data.
  • RFQs drafted and dispatched to all suppliers in parallel.
  • Replies parsed automatically, normalized to TCO, ranked.
  • Open POs scanned weekly, late suppliers chased on a schedule.
  • Workflow re-runs itself. Buyers review outputs, not inputs.

What teams are saying

Team

Why we're building SupplyChat.

Procurement teams are being asked to save more with less. Direct sourcing is the obvious lever, but it takes time most teams don't have. We built SupplyChat to be that team: AI-first procurement experts who run sourcing and negotiation end-to-end.

FAQ

What teams ask before a demo.

Or book a 15-minute demo and we'll answer it live.

How does an engagement work?

You pick a workflow (RFQ, supplier search, compliance, expediting…), we run it end-to-end on one of your real categories, and deliver the output: award memo, supplier shortlist, audit pack, status board. Typical first run takes 5–10 working days.

What do you need from us to start?

Whatever you have. A spec sheet, a supplier list, an open PO export from your ERP, even just an email thread. The agents are built to handle the messy formats teams already use: PDFs, CSVs, EDI, free-text emails. No data prep required upfront.

How is this different from hiring a buyer?

A buyer can run two or three RFQs at a time. An agent runs twelve in parallel and never drops a follow-up. Buyers are still in the loop. They review the agent's outputs, set the guardrails, and decide what to approve. The agent does the keyboard work; the human does the judgment.

What about data security and compliance?

Your data stays in EU-hosted infrastructure. We don't train on your data. SOC 2 controls and DPA on request. For regulated workflows (LkSG, BAFA), the audit trail is built into the agent's output, not bolted on after.

What happens after the first workflow?

If the output is useful, we agree on which workflows to run continuously and on what cadence. If it isn't, you keep the deliverable and walk away. No long-term lock-in, no per-seat licensing.
