AI procurement agents that chase, check and flag. Your buyers decide.
Three agents work the order book alongside your team. They read supplier emails, draft the chase, spot risk and check the forecast. Every action waits for a buyer.
Illustrative examples with fictional suppliers.
The agents run on the Valuechain platform, used by organisations including:
hours lost by a buyer every week to manual data entry and chasing.
Re-keying
Supplier replies arrive as free text and PDFs, and someone types them in.
Chasing
Buyers work out which lines need a move today, then chase each thread by hand.
Finding out too late
Risk and capacity problems only show up as a missed delivery or a failed audit.
Every agent works the same way
Read
A supplier email, a forecast or a risk signal.
Check
The order line, the supplier and the history.
Ask
Drafts questions to fill any gaps.
Propose
An update, with its source.
Buyer approves
Approve, edit or reject.
Nothing happens without a buyer.
The agents do the reading and the checking. Your people make the decisions.
Approval on every write
Nothing is written without a buyer’s approval, and a buyer sees every message before it reaches a supplier.
Every action logged
What happened, why, from which email, and who approved it.
Your AI models or ours
Run on your own AI model subscription, such as Azure OpenAI, or on models provided by Valuechain.
What could your team get back?
Track the impact against your own baseline, with three measures:
- Hours re-keying, per buyer per week
- Days chasing, per order change
- Days to spot a risk, from first signal

Do the agents work with my ERP?
Yes. They work alongside ERPs such as SAP, SYSPRO and Infor, with no ERP replacement.
