AI Quote Intelligence & Procurement Optimizer

Core Logic

Acts as the central coordination hub using DAG-based workflow planning. Analyzes incoming quote requests, determines project complexity (low/medium/high), creates optimal execution plans, delegates tasks to specialized agents based on capabilities, manages inter-agent data handoffs, monitors progress through real-time status streams, and synthesizes final results into actionable procurement recommendations with confidence scores.

Core Logic

Parses and validates procurement requirements using NLP techniques. Extracts key parameters (quantities, specifications, delivery timelines, quality tiers), identifies missing information, resolves ambiguities using historical patterns, validates against product catalogs, and produces structured requirement specifications for downstream agents.

Core Logic

Searches inventory across all warehouse locations in parallel using vector similarity for product matching. Evaluates real-time stock availability, calculates lead times per location, identifies equivalent alternatives when primary products are unavailable, considers warehouse proximity to delivery points, and ranks results by optimal fulfillment strategy.

Core Logic

Applies multi-tier pricing algorithms considering customer tier, volume thresholds, contract agreements, manufacturer rebates, bundle discounts, and competitive benchmarks. Uses elasticity models to optimize margins while maintaining competitiveness. Generates itemized pricing with discount breakdowns and total savings calculations.

Core Logic

Plans optimal delivery routes using graph-based algorithms. Consolidates shipments from multiple warehouses to reduce costs, calculates delivery windows, considers vehicle capacity constraints, evaluates express vs standard shipping tradeoffs, and generates logistics recommendations with cost-time analysis.

Core Logic

Evaluates supplier risk profiles using historical delivery performance, financial stability indicators, geopolitical exposure, and quality track records. Monitors commodity price trends affecting material costs. Identifies concentration risks and recommends supplier diversification. Generates risk scores with mitigation strategies.

Core Logic

Validates product compliance against applicable standards using a rule engine. Checks certifications (CE, UL, IP ratings), verifies technical specifications match requirements, ensures regional code compliance, flags non-compliant items, and generates compliance reports with documentation references.

Core Logic

Develops negotiation frameworks by analyzing customer purchase history, competitive quotes, margin thresholds, and market positioning. Identifies areas for value-add propositions, suggests bundling opportunities, recommends pricing floors, and provides talk tracks for sales teams with confidence-ranked options.

Core Logic

Monitors real-time commodity prices (copper, aluminum, steel, plastics), tracks competitor pricing movements, analyzes market demand indicators, and forecasts price trends. Generates market alerts for significant changes and recommends timing strategies for procurement decisions.
