Manual quote validation leaves critical data off the table

Error-prone manual checks

Teams manually review PDFs, emails, and spreadsheets for pricing, lead times, and terms — leaving room for mistakes.

Incomplete data / back-and-forth

Missing fields like delivery terms or payment conditions cause delays and constant supplier follow-ups.

Unstructured quotes

Quotes arrive in inconsistent formats, making comparison and analysis slow and unreliable.

A smarter way to validate supplier quotes

Agent PO reads supplier quotes in any format — PDF, Excel, or email — and structures, checks, and cleans data automatically for validation and follow-up.

Extracts structured data

Reads quotes instantly and pulls key fields like part, price, process, and total cost into a standardised format.

Validates completeness and compliance

Verifies that quantities, prices, lead times, and delivery terms are filled in. Cross-checks quotes against specifications, Incoterms, and quality or certification requirements.

Cleans data for comparison

Normalises currencies, units, and dates so all quotes are aligned for easy side-by-side analysis.

Drafts supplier follow-ups

If data is missing, automatically drafts an email requesting the information, ready for quick review and send.

Key capabilities that drive results

Manage by exception with alerts

Agent checks for missing fields, incomplete data, or mismatched terms, flagging errors before they reach analysis.

Automated supplier follow-ups

Drafts tailored supplier emails requesting missing or unclear information — ready to send instantly.

Standardised, clean outputs

Delivers normalised, structured data for every quote — ready for side-by-side comparison and faster sourcing decisions.

What moves the needle for your business

Faster sourcing decisions

Validated, structured quotes eliminate delays in comparison and evaluation, speeding up supplier selection.

Reduced administrative overhead

Less manual effort reviewing and cleaning quotes lowers process cost and frees capacity.

Higher decision confidence

Clean, compliant data ensures that all sourcing choices are faster, smarter, and lower-risk.

I'm very thankful for the agent's help because the agent is doing most of my work. It’s giving me the time I need to spend on other things that require extensive time and thought towards it.
So I love the tool. I love it every time it's mentioned. I want to see what else we can do with it.
