AnswersProcurement
In short
AI works across procurement wherever the answer can be checked against a contract, a purchase order or a spec. Agents find and qualify suppliers, score RFP responses, prepare negotiations, check invoices against agreements and flag suspicious patterns, while buyers own every award and commitment. Connected to the ERP and supplier records, the same agents work across categories.
| Area | What AI does | See it running |
|---|---|---|
| Sourcing | Finds and qualifies suppliers against requirements, capacity and risk. | Automated procurement sourcing |
| RFP evaluation | Scores every response against the criteria and shows the evidence behind each score. | RFP submission evaluation |
| Negotiation | Prepares the buyer with should-cost, history and alternatives before the call. | Procurement negotiations assistant |
| Contract compliance | Checks orders and invoices against agreed prices, terms and rebates. | Vendor agreement compliance |
| Invoice matching | Matches invoices to orders and receipts and explains each exception. | Construction procurement and three-way matching |
| Fraud and risk | Flags duplicate vendors, split purchases and unusual payment patterns. | Procurement fraud detection |
Most procurement work is checking: a quote against a spec, an invoice against a contract, a supplier against a policy. Those answers can be verified, which is where agents earn trust fastest. The judgment calls, such as which supplier to back and what to concede, stay with the buyer.
Duplicate suppliers, inconsistent part descriptions and unclassified spend slow every procurement project. Agents can harmonize materials and resolve supplier records as part of the first workflow, and the cleaned model of suppliers, materials and contracts serves every workflow after it.

Fig connects the ERP, sourcing tools, contracts and supplier records in place on CosmOS, keeps them in one live model, and builds the agents around the company's own policies and approval limits. Buyers approve every award and payment, and every step is in the audit trail.
AI prepares the negotiation: should-cost, history, alternatives and a recommended position. The buyer leads the conversation and makes the commitment.
By checking every transaction against patterns a person would rarely see across thousands of records: duplicate vendors, split purchases below approval limits, and payments that do not match contracts.
Yes. Fig connects to the ERP and procurement tools in place, with each system's permissions intact, and actions that change records go through approval.
