When supplier proposal processing should be automated

The solution is designed for companies whose procurement depends on manual collection, comparison and data entry.

Proposals arrive through email, messengers and direct messages

Price lists and terms use different spreadsheets and document formats

Employees manually copy prices, dates and product lines

Comparing suppliers takes hours or days

Decision history is scattered across conversations

Managers cannot see the current procurement stage

One process instead of a manual chain

Automation keeps your procurement rules intact. It handles repetitive operations while your team remains in control.

Current process

Open every email and attachment

Copy data into a shared spreadsheet

Match identical product lines manually

Collect approvals in conversations

Enter the result into ERP again

After implementation

The system collects new proposals

Prices and terms are extracted automatically

Product names are normalized

Approvals follow a defined route

The result is transferred to ERP

What can be automated

The solution is configured around your channels, document formats and approval rules.

Email, forms, messengers and shared folders.

Document recognition

Excel, PDF, Word, scans and attachments.

Data normalization

Matching names, units and specifications.

Terms comparison

Price, lead time, payment, delivery and other criteria.

ERP, CRM, API or your internal system.

How implementation works

We validate the solution against real document formats before connecting it to the production workflow.

01

Map the process

Document channels, formats, comparison rules and employee roles.

02

Test the documents

Use anonymized samples to assess extraction quality.

03

Build the first workflow

Configure processing, comparison and exception handling.

04

Connect systems

Integrate approvals, ERP, CRM or API.

05

Launch and monitor

Train the team and monitor processing quality.

Integrations

Works inside your infrastructure

Applied workflows

Procurement automation cases

Three parts of one process that can be introduced together or step by step.

Industrial distribution01

Supplier proposal comparison

A single workflow for procurement emails, spreadsheets, PDFs and scans.

Outcome

The comparison is prepared automatically while the specialist handles only exceptions.

Manufacturing company02

Purchase approval workflow

A controlled request route from the initiator to the person responsible for payment.

Outcome

Every request now has a visible stage, owner and complete approval history.

Wholesale trade03

Procurement handoff to ERP

Integration of supplier selection results with the accounting system.

Outcome

Approved data is transferred without repeated manual entry and remains linked to the original request.

Start with your data

Test the workflow with your documents

Attach several anonymized supplier proposals. We will review the formats, outline the processing workflow and determine what is required for integration.

You can attach Excel, PDF, Word and other files to the form.

Frequently asked questions

Which proposal formats can be processed?

Excel, PDF, Word, scans, emails and attachments. The exact scope is confirmed after reviewing your samples.

What if suppliers use different product names?

We configure catalog matching rules and route ambiguous items to an employee for review.

Can the solution integrate with our ERP?

Yes. The integration approach depends on your ERP configuration, available APIs and procurement workflow.

Will AI make purchasing decisions instead of employees?

Not necessarily. The system can prepare a comparison while final selection and approval remain with responsible employees.

What will you need from our team?

A process owner, sample documents, comparison rules and access to a test environment for the required integrations.
