Negotiation Agent

Automate the negotiation of your tail spend orders.

The challenge in procurement

Through skilful negotiation, it is often possible to achieve significant savings, in percentage terms, even on low-value orders.

However, given the low individual order values, it is usually not economically viable to deploy valuable resources from the strategic procurement team for such negotiations.

The potential for savings on small orders often cannot be fully realised if the process is dragged out by manual negotiations.

The solution: The apsolut Negotiation Agent

Our negotiation bot automates the entire negotiation process. From selecting the orders to be negotiated, through to determining the negotiation strategy (parameters) and conducting the negotiation with the supplier, right through to order fulfilment.

The negotiation bot generates savings without requiring any manual intervention from a buyer.

The supplier can conclude a negotiation quickly and easily at a time that suits them (no coordination with a buyer is necessary). There is also a direct link to the live procurement system, which ensures the automatic implementation of the negotiation results and prevents information loss or manual input errors.

Our bot is based on the SAP Conversational AI Platform and can be easily integrated into an existing SAP landscape. Negotiation strategies and parameters can be individually tailored to the needs of each customer.
