How it works
Same pipeline as the live Sourcing Agent module.
- 1
Parse the brief
Extract quantity, category, delivery window, and unit from plain language and estimate budget from catalog or historical pricing.
- 2
Publish the RFQ
Set evaluation criteria with weights that sum to 100%, invite qualified suppliers, and exclude blocked vendors.
- 3
Collect and score bids
Normalize cost, lead time, warranty, payment terms, and supplier risk into a weighted matrix and rank respondents.
- 4
Negotiate in rounds
Run guardrailed rounds — target price, walk-away, must-have warranty — with deterministic concession logic; Stellitron Intelligence phrases the messages.
- 5
Recommend award
Present the winning supplier, unit economics, and savings vs budget; award updates the event and logs impact.
