Stop buying leaks: procurement three-way check
Food buying splits in two: the volatile graded raw material (chilli, wheat, oilseed, milk, sugar, pulses) and the packaging and indirect spend (films, cartons, caps, labels). Rates drift, the same vendor quotes three prices, weight comes up short, and volume rebates go unclaimed.
Who has it
Packaged-food and snack manufacturers, beverage and dairy makers, and bakery, confectionery and ready-to-eat producers, the makers buying volatile graded raw material plus packaging and indirect spend; not the depot and super-stockist, which is pure distribution with no raw buying.
What we build
An automatic three-way check (purchase order against goods received against invoice) that flags price drift, short weight, duplicate payments, GST mismatches and missed volume rebates, plus a daily approved rate card for the volatile graded inputs. AI reads the unstructured bits: a scanned weighbridge slip, a moisture-report photo, a handwritten mandi bill. The vendor payment itself always goes to a named person.
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 Stop buying leaks: procurement three-way check; 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
Off-card buying and the short-weight/duplicate-payment leak surface before payment, not at audit; a recoverable slice of purchase spend is caught, traceable to the bill.
Illustrative outcome
A recovered slice of purchase spend each cycle, traceable to the bill. Illustrative; final numbers come from your own data.
