The reliable spine
The non-AI spine is the source-linked workflow: clean records, rules, calculations, integrations, exception queues, approvals and reporting for Procurement and three-way match on landed imports.
Exporters & Import Trading Houses
Procurement and three-way match on landed imports
Buying leaks the same way it does for any trader, plus a border. The supplier invoice, the bill of entry (the customs-assessed value and quantity) and the goods physically received must all agree, and they are matched by hand if at all, so short-supply, over-billing, off-contract rates and quantity differences against the landed quantity slip through. The same item is bought from three suppliers at three prices because there is no rate discipline. The finance team re-keys every supplier and clearing invoice by hand.
Who has it
Import and distribution houses, on supplier invoice vs bill of entry vs goods received, and the buy-side of merchant exporters and commodity and agri-export traders buying from Indian makers or upstream commodity suppliers.
What we build
A clean supplier and rate-contract master and a deterministic three-way match (goods received vs the purchase order vs the supplier invoice, extended to the bill-of-entry quantity and value for imports) that flags every price, quantity, duty and tax variance, with low-confidence reads routed to a person and the pay-approval always a named person's.
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 Procurement and three-way match on landed imports; 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
Clean invoices flow through for one-click approval while only genuine exceptions reach a person; short-supply against the landed quantity, over-billing and off-contract rates are caught before payment, not at audit; buying runs to a rule instead of to a relationship; re-keying disappears.
Illustrative outcome
Input and clearing-bill leakage caught and recovered each cycle, and finance re-keying hours removed. Illustrative; final numbers come from your own data.
