Infrastructure & TechnologyIn Evaluation

AI-Powered PR & PO Assistant

~10 buyers, >CHF 250M spend

Starting Point

Infrastructure company with complex, technology-driven procurement environment and several thousand active suppliers. Requesters who only use the ERP occasionally create incomplete purchase requisitions. This leads to constant queries and blocks operational procurement.

Challenge

  • Thousands of purchase requisitions per year with queries due to incomplete data
  • Occasional ERP users don't understand the input fields
  • Constant back-and-forth between requester and procurement costs time
  • Knowledge about supplier allocation and categories sits in individual people's heads

Insave Approach

Phased approach with economic focus.

Step 1

Guided PR Entry

AI assistant guides requesters through a guided entry and suggests ERP-compliant data: category, cost centre, supplier, account.

Step 2

Completeness Check

Automatic check of every requisition for completeness before it reaches procurement. The PR arrives clean on the first attempt.

Step 3

PR-to-PO Automation

Conversion from purchase requisition to purchase order in one click for the operational buyer. Reduction of manual effort per PR.

Expected Outcome

Elimination of back-and-forth on thousands of PRs/year
Clean, ERP-compliant requisitions on the first attempt
Relief of operational procurement for strategic tasks
Institutionalisation of procurement knowledge instead of people dependency
