Identity the lowest cost commodity procurement combination for CPG
Enable large-scale commodity buyers to identify the lowest-cost procurement matrix while considering supply-demand constraints and purchasing guidelines. It provides real-time sourcing intelligence by evaluating demand, inventory, supplier capacity, sourcing limits, lead times, and supply constraints. Deployed on SAP Business AI Platform and ready for integration with SAP Ariba.
Overview
Reduce procurement costs
Identify the lowest-cost procurement allocation across vendors and plants by optimizing material prices, shipping costs, and sourcing constraints in real time.

Features
Enable real-time sourcing decisions with AI-enabled workflow
Capture all demand and supply parameters in a single integrated workflow, enabling Purchase Managers to simplify complex, multi-dimensional procurement scenario analysis with an AI-powered allocation engine. Reduce days of effort to minutes during every procurement cycle.
Realign allocation to changing raw material costs and shipping charges
Resolve one of the biggest bottlenecks of sourcing analysis - identifying the impact of changes in prices and costs from the previous procurement run, by enabling procurement teams to reuse baselined price or upload latest pricing data and re-generate new procurement allocation within seconds.
Perform constraint and rule modeling easily (Capacity, MOQ, Constraints, etc)
Enforces vendor capacity, MOQ, cluster-specific supply restrictions, and an optional minimum-2-vendor rule alongside price. This turns a theoretical cost comparison into an executable purchase plan and directly mitigates single-source risk on commodities exposed to weather and market volatility.
