1. Submit demand
A buyer creates an active sourcing request with commercial and delivery constraints.
How it works
Two journeys, one controlled procurement record.
Buyer demand and supplier inventory meet only after deterministic constraints, commercial analysis and operator review establish a credible basis for discussion.
Workflow
The buyer-led sourcing sequence.
The initial model identifies demand before inventory is purchased. AI assists with structure and evidence; people retain approval authority.
2. Capture opportunity
A supplier or operator submits inventory manually, via CSV or an authorised adapter.
3. Normalise and evaluate
Structured AI output assists normalisation while deterministic services calculate landed cost, score risk and enforce matching constraints.
4. Review and approve
An operator checks evidence, corrects assumptions and decides whether a match can be shared.
5. Express interest
The buyer reviews the opportunity and can ask questions, reject it or express interest.
6. Accept a quotation
Commercial terms are versioned; the buyer explicitly accepts one exact version.
7. Pay documented charges
Stripe-hosted Checkout may collect an agreed sourcing fee or deposit tied to the accepted terms.
8. Progress with approval
The deal advances through supplier confirmation and a separate purchase approval—never an autonomous purchase.
