AI-first procurement intelligence — you decide, the AI does the data heavy-lifting.

ProcurAiQ classifies every line of spend, watches the commodity markets, models should-cost, optimizes where to buy — landed cost, tariffs and trade policy included — and traces supplier risk across your network on one knowledge graph, then assembles the whole negotiation brief in minutes. The category manager keeps the decision; the AI does the work that used to take days across 35 spreadsheets.

The problem

Category managers are data-rich, but insight-starved.

Spend lives in ERPs, spreadsheets and email. By the time it's compiled it's stale — so the cheapest invoice often wins, even when it is the most expensive supplier on true cost, and trade policy lands as a surprise after the award.

01
Manual spend analysisNo single source of truth — spend is fragmented across ERPs and spreadsheets, and a large share of a category manager's time disappears into gathering and reconciling data instead of negotiating.
02
Volatile commoditiesBy the time price data is found and compiled, the commodity market has already moved — and index-triggered contract reviews quietly pass by unactioned.
03
Opaque should-costPrice-only sourcing ranks on invoice price per tonne and is blind to quality-driven downstream cost — yield loss, campaign-life premiums, slopping, emergency relines — so the cheapest supplier can cost multiples more.
04
Supplier risk found too lateFinancial, ESG and operational supplier problems surface only after they hit the supply chain — not the 6–12 months ahead that would let you act.
05
Sourcing location is guessed, not optimizedWhere to buy is decided on habit and unit price — not on fully-loaded landed cost across geographies. Duties, freight, FX, lead time and supply risk rarely make it into the same comparison.
06
Trade policy lands as a surpriseTariffs, CBAM carbon-border costs and Section-232 exposure hit the invoice after the contract is signed — when they should have been a number in the sourcing decision from the start.
How ProcurAiQ works

One disciplined loop, from raw spend to a defensible award.

The Amplinth loop, tuned to procurement — every answer cited back to the graph, every action human-checkpointed.

01

Connect

Ingest ERP transactions, supplier records, commodity indices, contracts & quality data onto a graph.

02

Reason

Classify spend, forecast prices, predict supplier failure & trace how a shock cascades across your network — graph-native, no black box.

03

Recommend

QATC-adjusted rankings, landed-cost-by-origin, price-review-eligible contracts & a fully-assembled negotiation brief, with citations.

04

Act

The category manager approves classifications, sets targets, selects suppliers and awards — gate-ruled.

05

Prove

Append-only audit of every AI step; QATC & savings ledger.

Capabilities

Twelve modules, one graph — and a governed agent layer on top.

Category, Spend, Market, Supplier, Cost, Contract, Risk, Simulator, ESG, Quality, Decision and Reporting share one substrate and one BFF — so its signature analytic, QATC, propagates across all of them.

Classify spend automatically

The Category service runs a BERT-based classifier that maps every transaction to a multi-level taxonomy, while the Spend service lands a real-time spend cube and flags anomalies, duplicate invoices and off-contract maverick spend — human override always supported.

Monitor commodity markets

The Market service tracks commodity indices and price history, forecasts across 1/3/6/12-month horizons, and raises commodity alerts when a movement crosses a level that should trigger a contract or price review — with news, sentiment and regulatory signals per category.

Model should-cost & QATC true cost

The Cost service builds index-linked should-cost and clean-sheet models, flags quotes above fair price and decomposes the gap. BPID / QATC — Quality-Adjusted Total Cost — exposes the hidden downstream cost price-only tools can't see and re-weights every supplier scorecard around it.

Score & vet suppliers continuously

The Supplier service computes 360° scorecards and watches financial-health and ESG signals through connector-ready feeds (D&B, Experian, EcoVadis), surfacing qualified alternatives before a relationship becomes a liability.

Discover net-new suppliers from the open market

A research agent scans the open market and validates net-new suppliers into the graph as governed entities — with citations — so your shortlist isn't limited to the suppliers you already know.

Configurable market alerts

Set threshold, change, trend, volatility, contract-trigger and forecast alerts — with snooze, acknowledge and multi-channel delivery — so the platform watches the market and tells you when something actually needs a decision.

Prepare negotiations end-to-end

The insights service composes an RFQ skeleton, supplier letters, stakeholder memos and a full negotiation pack — assembling market evidence, cost breakdowns, alternatives and contract clauses into one brief, in minutes rather than days.

A grounded, governed AI assistant

A planner with ~40 grounded handlers streams cited, confidence-tiered answers from the tenant's own graph. An ethics guard refuses unethical questions and a no-data guard returns a plain "not available" rather than inventing a number — every step on an append-only audit trail.

Beyond a spend dashboard

Decision-grade sourcing, trade-cost and resilience.

Three capabilities a price-only tool — or a non-graph competitor — structurally can't match. All live in the platform today.

Where should you buy?

Landed-cost-by-origin optimization. Compare sourcing geographies on fully-loaded landed cost, supply risk and lead time — duties, freight, FX and anti-dumping included — and model reshoring before you commit, ranked decision-grade across countries.

Tariffs, CBAM & trade-cost

HS-code tariff lookups, tariff-inclusive landed cost, CBAM carbon-border and Section-232 exposure, and reshoring what-ifs — so trade policy is a number in your sourcing decision, not a surprise on the invoice.

See the shock before it hits

Cascade-aware risk on your live relationship graph. Trace how a single supplier or region failure ripples across tiers, expose single points of failure, and stress-test "what-if" scenarios — graph-native, not a dashboard of red dots.

Behind all three sits a geopolitical & regulatory early-warning layer — curated signals on export controls, anti-dumping, CBAM, REACH and EU-ETS, scored for impact on your categories rather than a generic news feed.

Outcomes

The platform is deployed and running — the impact figures are honest about their maturity.

ProcurAiQ's BFF, ~20 services and 12+ micro-frontends are wired and running in the cloud today. The headline impact numbers below are targets or modelled worked cases, not realized client results — and are labelled as such.

The QATC story
The cheapest supplier on the invoice can be the most expensive on true cost.
In a worked refractory case, QATC decomposed 67% of hidden downstream cost and flipped the ranking from #1 (cheapest invoice) to #4 (true cost). Built on real procurement data plus explicitly simulated production-correlation data — a worked case, not a realized client benchmark. Client anonymised.

Maturity: platform deployment is Realized (verified in code — services, BFF route table and micro-frontends are wired). Savings, cycle-time, classification accuracy and supplier-failure-warning figures are Target or Modelled until a cleared client baseline exists.

Deployment & trust

Your data, your cloud. Never a shared corpus.

Connect ProcurAiQ to your ERP transactions, supplier records, commodity feeds and contracts. Customize the taxonomy, QATC hidden-cost dimensions and scorecard weights to your categories — the platform is reusable; the domain model is what we tailor. Operate the loop in production, where every classified transaction and approved award sharpens the graph. Your spend, suppliers and contracts run on your data, in your cloud — they never join a pooled market dataset.

Questions buyers ask

Where we're deliberately different.

Some choices look like gaps until you see why we made them. Here's the straight answer to the four we hear most.

Does the AI negotiate with my suppliers?

No — and that's deliberate. ProcurAiQ generates the full negotiation brief, playbook and split-of-business scenarios; your team makes the call. We don't let AI negotiate unsupervised with your suppliers.

Is this built on a generic market-data corpus?

No. ProcurAiQ runs on your transactions, your suppliers, your contracts — intelligence that's actually about your spend, not a resold generic data corpus.

Do you offer analysts-as-a-service?

We're a platform, not a staffing model — but Amplinth carries deep KPMG / ADL / Accenture / Deloitte advisory heritage for the moments you want a human in the room.

Is the AI advisor a black-box chatbot?

No. Every answer is cited, audited, confidence-scored and human-gated — it refuses to guess when the data isn't there, rather than inventing a number.

Why Amplinth

AI is the preparation. You are the decision.

Industry-deep

QATC / Beyond-Price Intelligence prices suppliers on true total cost — a defensible, manufacturing-specific analytic that generic spend dashboards can't claim, propagated across all twelve modules.

Your data, your cloud

ProcurAiQ runs on your data, in your cloud or VPC — your spend, suppliers and contracts never join a shared corpus. One graph connects all twelve modules, not twelve silos, with full data residency by default.

Governed — and you keep the decision

A planner with ~40 grounded handlers, citations and confidence tiers, an ethics guard and a no-data guard that refuses to hallucinate numbers — every step on an append-only audit trail. AI proposes; the category manager approves, gate-ruled through approval chains.
