Purchasing Management Platform

BOM management and procurement platform for steel infrastructure projects. AI-powered plan summaries, email generation, and material categorization.

The Problem

Managing Bills of Materials for steel infrastructure projects involves tracking thousands of line items across multiple suppliers, revisions, and procurement stages. Coordinating emails, categorizing materials, and summarizing plans is time-intensive manual work.

The Solution

A purchasing management platform built for a steel corporation's Asia operations. AI is woven throughout: an assistant that answers questions about plans and data, automatic plan summarization, email generation for supplier communications, and intelligent material categorization when items aren't in the master database.
