Autonomous Negotiation Agent for Tail Spend
>300 buyers, multi-billion spend, international plants
Starting Point
Large industrial group with an international plant network, thousands of suppliers and tail spend in the double-digit millions. A negotiation bot is already in use and delivers savings, but every negotiation has to be set up manually by the buyer. If the bot doesn't reach a result, the case escalates back to the buyer. For the planned rollout across all plants, this capacity requirement is the number one scaling blocker.
Challenge
- Manual setup per negotiation ties up buyer capacity
- Unresolved cases escalate back to the buyer
- As a result, most of the tail spend remains unnegotiated
- Target of thousands of negotiations per year unreachable with today's approach
Insave Approach
The buyer moves from operator to supervisor.
Guardrail Setup
The buyer defines guardrails once per category: target price, corridors, payment terms, no-gos, language. After that the process runs without manual setup.
Autonomous, Parallel Negotiations
The agent pulls tail spend requisitions automatically, negotiates autonomously and multilingually with many suppliers in parallel, and books results within the guardrails automatically into the ERP.
Approval Queue & Audit Trail
Only exceptions outside the guardrails land in an approval queue with the agent's recommendation. Every agent decision is traceable in the audit trail, also for governance requirements.
