The reliable spine
The non-AI spine is the source-linked workflow: clean records, rules, calculations, integrations, exception queues, approvals and reporting for Purchase-requisition to PO approval workflow.

Purchase-requisition to PO approval workflow
Purchase requisitions, vendor selection, and PO approvals run on WhatsApp, email, and verbal sign-off, with no spend control until the bill arrives. Maverick buying and off-contract rates are invisible until the supplier-bill leakage check catches them downstream.
Who has it
Custom machine builders, heavy fabricators, and project and EPC houses, the segments with the highest bought-out and project-material spend.
What we build
A PR-to-PO approval workflow with budget and rate-card checks built in, a named approver above a spend threshold, and a vendor-comparison view, so spend is controlled before commitment, not audited after.
What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
Automation for the routine. A person on every decision that matters.
Where AI helps
AI is limited to bounded reading, extraction, matching, clustering or drafting from the firm's own data for Purchase-requisition to PO approval workflow; it never owns the number, the approval, the promise or the decision.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
What changes day to day
Spend controlled at source; cleaner audit trail. Illustrative: a measurable reduction in off-contract purchasing.
