Digital workerAdvanced Sourcing Agent

You lead sourcing.
A digital worker runs it

For the high-value buys that need an RFP. You set the strategy and make the calls. A digital worker does the rest, from structured event to negotiated final offers.

From brief to award, every term negotiated

Describe what you need. The agent turns it into a structured event, collects the bids and negotiates with every supplier, round after round, on the value you set.
  • Negotiate any term, not only price: rate cards, quantities, SLAs, commercial terms, whatever you need from a supplier
  • Tell the assistant what you are sourcing in plain language, or upload your spec or scope, and it builds the RFP for you, sections, lines and terms
  • Counters every bid on your behalf, pushing on the terms you told it matter most
Illustration: a buyer describes a facilities services need in plain words and the Advanced Sourcing Agent creates the event and drafts the demand from it, sections, lines and terms, ready to review

Complex sourcing, made simple

Professional services, SaaS renewals, contract labour. The buys with the most terms and the most manual work, now run with a digital worker on your side.
  • Compares bids on value, not only price, weighing every term the way you would
  • Suppliers can bid on part of the scope, so specialists compete instead of dropping out
  • Does the round-by-round work for you, so your category managers steer instead of grind
Illustration: round two of the event, four suppliers' bids compared on total value rather than price alone, each labelled with what stands out, one of them a partial bid on nine of fourteen lines

Buyer-led, from the first round to the award

You set the strategy, the rounds and the rules, and you can talk to any supplier directly whenever you want. A digital worker does everything in between.
  • You set the sourcing and negotiation strategy and the rules, per event, and manage as many rounds as it needs
  • A direct line to any supplier whenever you want one, and no supplier ever sees another's bid
  • You make the award, with every bid and every message on record
Illustration: the strategy panel for a sourcing event, with the buyer's negotiation target, opening offer, three rounds, lines fenced from movement, the bidding window and automatic negotiation switched on

One flow, from brief to award

Bring a brief or a bidding sheet. The agent turns it into an event, runs it with you and brings you the ranked answer.
