How it works Use cases Features Start free week
For VPs of Operations and Procurement Managers at manufacturing and distribution SMBs, 20 to 200 employees

Stop chasing suppliers across email, spreadsheets, and warehouse phone calls

Every week your ops team chases suppliers over email, updates spreadsheets by hand, and learns shipments are late only when the warehouse calls. Supplier AI puts every PO, shipment, and vendor scorecard on one screen, with direct messaging and a full log of every interaction. The kind of bug an operator might find on day one: a supplier billing 7 percent above contract for six months, surfaced by the contract terms search in minutes instead of weeks of email forensics. Try it free for a week, no contract.

Before and after Supplier AI

What changes the first week a sourcing team plugs Supplier AI into their procurement stack.

Before

Before Supplier AI

  • Chasing suppliers over email threads that nobody else can read
  • Spreadsheets passed between buyers, each version slightly out of date
  • Learning a shipment is late only when the warehouse calls
  • Contract pricing buried in PDFs nobody has time to reread
  • Vendor scorecards rebuilt by hand every quarterly review
With Supplier AI

After Supplier AI

  • Every PO, shipment, and message logged in one searchable record
  • Contract terms searchable, so price drift gets caught in minutes
  • Vendor scorecards update automatically from delivery and quality data
  • Direct messaging threaded to the PO, no inbox archaeology
  • Late shipments flagged before your warehouse calls to complain

From sourcing brief to signed PO in one workspace

Four steps from connecting your existing tools to running a quarterly vendor review without rebuilding a spreadsheet.

1

Connect your stack (day 1)

Plug in email, your ERP exports, and any vendor contracts as PDFs. Supplier AI parses the lot and builds a single vendor record per supplier in under an hour.

2

Drop a sourcing brief (week 1)

Paste a spec or SKU into the brief box. Supplier AI returns a ranked shortlist with lead times, certifications, and price benchmarks against your contract history.

3

Run POs and messaging in one place (week 2)

Issue POs, message vendors, and attach ASN and quality data to the supplier record. Every reply is threaded to the order, not lost in a buyer's inbox.

4

Score, audit, renegotiate (month 1)

Scorecards update automatically. Contract terms search flags pricing drift, late deliveries, and missing certifications, ready for your next quarterly review.

Who runs Supplier AI on Monday morning

Four operator roles where the workflow disrupted is concrete enough to test in the first 30 days.

VP Operations

See every late shipment before the warehouse does

Replaces the morning huddle phone calls with a single dashboard that flags slipping POs by vendor, value, and downstream impact.

Procurement Manager

Qualify new suppliers without a 40-tab spreadsheet

Drop a sourcing brief, get a ranked shortlist with certifications, lead times, and price benchmarks against your last twelve months of POs.

Controller

Catch contract drift before the audit catches you

Contract terms search compares invoice line items against signed agreements. One pilot found a vendor billing 12% over contract for four months.

Ops Analyst

Run a real quarterly vendor review in an afternoon

Scorecards update automatically from delivery, quality, and pricing data. Export a board-ready vendor performance pack instead of rebuilding it from email.

Three jobs Supplier AI does on day one

Built for ops and procurement leads at manufacturing and distribution SMBs, not for a procurement transformation deck.

One log per supplier

Every PO, shipment, message, and scorecard entry lives on a single record. When a buyer leaves, the next person inherits the full history instead of a folder of PDFs.

Contract terms search

Index the actual contract language, then query it like a database. Concrete operator scenario: a vendor billing 12% over contract for four months. The contract search surfaces it in minutes instead of weeks of email forensics.

Shipment watch

Supplier AI reads ASN and tracking data, flags slipping deliveries, and pings the right buyer before the warehouse calls. No more learning about a late order from a forklift driver.

Put your supplier base on one screen

Try Supplier AI free for a week, no contract. If it does not surface at least one billing or delivery issue in your first 30 days of real use, we refund the first paid month and help you export your data.
