Supplier comparison
Structure responses against agreed criteria and highlight missing information. Keep accountable commercial judgment with the procurement team.
Purchase-order processing
Extract request data, validate against policy and route approvals or exceptions.
Identify key terms, dates, obligations and renewal points from contracts for review.
Risk: extracted terms can be incomplete or wrong; do not substitute extraction for legal interpretation.
Spend analysis
Normalise descriptions and supplier names, group categories and identify concentration or unusual patterns.
Supplier onboarding
Coordinate document collection, checks and status updates while keeping regulated or risk-sensitive approvals explicit.
KPIs
- processing time;
- manual touches;
- exception rate;
- approval lead time;
- spend visibility;
- missed renewal events.
Do not automate supplier selection solely from generated scores without clear criteria, provenance and accountable review.
