Before & after
From manual to automatic
Without visibility into supplier performance, you pay too much and run unnecessary risks
- Supplier performance is not tracked systematically — decisions are based on intuition.
- Late deliveries and quality issues are only noticed once they impact customers.
- Price increases are accepted without comparison with alternative suppliers.
Data-driven supplier management
- Automatically monitors delivery times, quality scores, and price trends per supplier from your ERP/procurement system.
- Generates quarterly scorecards per supplier including trends and benchmarks.
- Alerts on price deviations and increases so you can negotiate proactively or find alternatives.
- Analyzes delivery reliability and warns of rising risks.

Frequently asked questions
Which criteria are included in the score?
Delivery time, delivery reliability, quality deviations, price consistency, and communication. You determine the weighting per criterion yourself.
Can the agent also suggest alternatives?
Eventually yes. The agent can compare prices and performance with similar suppliers in your network.
How does the agent get its data, and which systems does it connect to?
It automatically pulls delivery times, quality scores, and price trends from your ERP or procurement system, such as Exact Online, AFAS, SAP Business One, or Microsoft Dynamics, and turns that data into a scorecard per supplier.
What does it cost?
Standard agents like this start from €2,500, and custom builds start from €5,000. A free AI scan can show what fits your purchasing process.
How long does implementation take?
Implementation is usually live within 4 weeks. We start within 5 working days after intake, connect via the official APIs and include a test period before go-live.
How is our procurement data handled?
Data is processed and hosted within the EU, a data processing agreement can be signed, and only the supplier and transaction data needed for scoring is used.
Do we stay in control of purchasing decisions, and can we adjust the criteria later?
The agent flags risks and generates scorecards, but purchasing decisions remain with your team. You can adjust criteria weighting and thresholds at any time, and we help re-tune the agent if your ERP or supplier data changes.
