How It Works
From Requirement to Delivery in Three Steps.
Materials are required
A job is approved and a materials list is generated. The AI identifies what needs to be ordered.
AI contacts suppliers
It sends quote requests to your preferred suppliers, compares responses, and selects the best option based on your rules.
PO sent and delivery tracked
The purchase order goes out automatically. The AI monitors delivery status and alerts your team to any delays.
