More context before the sourcing decision.
Quote Recommendation
Compare supplier offers using price, terms and fit to support a consistent evaluation. Recommendations inform the decision; they do not remove the need to apply your criteria.
Unstructured Quote Upload

THE SOURCING WORKFLOW
From the request to a defensible supplier decision.
Define the requirement
Set out the product or service need and the criteria suppliers should address.
Engage suppliers
Coordinate RFQs/RFPs and organise responses in the sourcing process.
Evaluate consistently
Review commercial information against defined criteria, including AI-supported comparison where relevant.
Keep the decision traceable
Retain workflow and approval context for the sourcing event, based on the configured process.
WHERE IT HELPS
A better fit for sourcing that is document-heavy or time-sensitive.
For construction, compare material and subcontractor quotations that arrive in different formats. In manufacturing, find alternate suppliers during disruption. In energy, assess complex commercial proposals from specialist vendors.
