Save time on purchasing. Get better prices.

Pallet agents create and send purchase orders from approved buying instructions, material requirements, or replenishment triggers. They capture supplier acknowledgments, compare quantities and terms with the original request, and process approved changes. Purchasing decisions and exceptions can remain within your team's existing approval process.

Pallet agents send requests for quotation, collect supplier responses, and compare prices, availability, lead times, delivery dates, and terms. The comparison uses the sourcing requirements and supplier information provided for the workflow. Buyers can review the bids and make purchasing decisions with the supporting details together.

Pallet agents chase purchase order acknowledgments, capture promised ship dates, and follow up on backorders or revised commitments.

Pallet agents can use APIs, electronic data interchange, browsers, and remote desktop to work in the systems available to your purchasing team. They also process supplier emails and documents.

Most custom Pallet agents go live in about six weeks. Pallet captures the purchasing process with your operators, including supplier requirements, document formats, approvals, and exception paths. The team then builds and tests the agent before it starts running the workflow in production.

Pallet encrypts data at rest and in transit and controls access by role. Procurement workflows can preserve your approval process for purchasing decisions and sensitive record changes.
