Hire your AI buyer.

Turns requisitions into orders, matches order confirmations, and chases delivery dates.

A Day at Work

What does your AI buyer get done in a normal working day?

07:30

Requisitions and open orders

Collects new purchase requisitions from your ERP and from Outlook, checks them for completeness, and sorts them by urgency and delivery date.

09:00

Turning requisitions into orders

Creates purchase orders from approved requisitions using framework prices and approved suppliers, and sends them straight out.

11:00

Order confirmation matching

Compares incoming order confirmations field by field against the order: price, quantity, delivery date, and terms. Every deviation gets flagged.

14:00

Chasing delivery dates

Writes to suppliers about overdue or shifted deliveries, records the new commitment, and warns production or sales in time.

16:00

Price and alternative checks

Compares current prices against your framework agreements and past orders, and prepares alternatives for parts that got more expensive.

17:00

Daily summary

Posts a short summary to your Teams channel: what was ordered, which deliveries are at risk, what needs a decision tomorrow.

In Practice

The routine runs continuously, your team decides the exceptions.

Goal

Your AI employee keeps every order on schedule and on price

  • Orders only from approved suppliers at agreed conditions
  • Respects your value thresholds and approval chain
  • Learns lead times and reliability from your order history
  • Documents every order, deviation, and follow-up traceably

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about your AI buyer.

It runs operative purchasing. It turns purchase requisitions into orders, matches order confirmations field by field against the order, monitors delivery dates, chases suppliers when dates slip, compares prices, and keeps supplier master data clean in your ERP. Strategic decisions stay with your team: supplier selection, framework agreements, and negotiations are still made by a person.

Yes. Superkind sits on top of your existing stack as one integration layer: an ERP such as SAP or Microsoft Dynamics, Outlook, Teams, supplier portals, document management, and your warehouse system. The AI buyer works in the systems your purchasing team already uses. You need no new platform and no parallel order book. It connects only through the interfaces your IT approves.

It only orders within the rules you set: approved suppliers, agreed framework prices, value thresholds, and your existing approval chain. Anything outside those limits goes to a person before it becomes an order. That covers new suppliers, prices above the agreed level, and unusual quantities. Every step is logged, so purchasing control gets tighter instead of looser.

Your purchasing team stays in control. The AI employee prepares orders, price comparisons, and supplier follow-ups, and routes everything that needs judgment to a person for approval. You define per workflow what it may finish on its own and what always needs a signature. Every action stays traceable in the log, including timestamp, source, and the rule applied.

The first workflows typically go live within 2 weeks. We start with the highest-volume routine, usually requisition-to-order and order confirmation matching. From there we expand step by step with whatever demonstrably saves your team time. You do not need a dedicated project team, just one contact in purchasing and one IT contact for the access rights.

A fraction of a full-time position, priced per use case. For comparison: one operative buyer costs the employer between 50,000 and 70,000 euros per year depending on the region. E-procurement software often runs 20,000 to 50,000 euros for the rollout, plus a license per user. The AI buyer scales with order volume instead of headcount. You only expand what pays off.
