Digital workerSingle-Source Negotiation Agent

Negotiate all of your spend
for the first time

Digital workers autonomously negotiate every single-source deal before the PO exists for better price, payment terms and working capital.

  • 13 minto complete an autonomous negotiation
  • 5.2%average saving on single-source negotiations
  • Up to 70%of new savings opportunities result in a saving

Negotiate more and find new savings

Negotiate every single-source supplier, put multiple offers on the table and trade off different terms to get the best deal possible.
  • Presents multiple equivalent simultaneous offers, so the supplier picks and you win whichever they choose
  • Trades discount, payment terms, delivery and lead time off against each other
  • Keeps the relationship strong, because every option works for the supplier too
Illustration: the Single-Source Negotiation Agent puts three offers to a single-source supplier, each trading price against payment terms, with the supplier chat behind

The spend you wrote off as non-negotiable

Deploy digital workers on your single-source spend and find savings on the deals you could never touch before.
  • Negotiates every single-source requisition, not only the ones a buyer had time for
  • Challenges the categories everyone stopped questioning
  • Compounds small wins on every deal into a savings line
Illustration: the Intake agent tells a requester that their single-source request is being negotiated autonomously, then reports the agreed price, saving and payment terms

Autonomous, inside the lines you draw

Set the walk-away price, the payment terms it may offer and how far it goes on its own. Inside those limits the agent can agree the deal, and the PO follows.
  • Advisory to fully autonomous, one setting, changed whenever you like
  • Your price limits, your payment-term options, your approved suppliers
  • The agent can agree deals inside policy, anything outside goes to a buyer
