Guided Buying with Generative AI

The Guided Buying feature utilizes generative AI to automate and streamline the procurement process. This virtual purchasing assistant answers questions directed to the purchasing department, thereby reducing the number of free-text requests by guiding requestors to the appropriate procurement channels. By providing instant, accurate responses, askLio minimizes frustration among requestors and ensures that procurement processes are more transparent and efficient. This feature directly addresses the challenge of high operational costs and lack of focus on value-adding activities by automating routine tasks and allowing procurement teams to concentrate on strategic decisions.

No More Hassle with Free Text Requests

This feature automates the handling of free text requests, which are often a significant source of operational effort in procurement. askLio performs compliance checks, assigns product groups, and optionally obtains and compares offers from suppliers without requiring active intervention from the purchasing department. This automation significantly reduces the time and effort spent on processing free text requests, thereby lowering operational costs and freeing up resources for more strategic activities. The feature is closely related to Guided Buying, as both aim to reduce the burden on procurement teams by automating routine tasks.

Empower Buyers with Generative AI

The Empower Buyers feature leverages generative AI to support procurement teams in their value-adding activities. This AI Co-Pilot assists buyers in analyzing offers, contracts, and procurement markets, providing data-driven insights that aid in decision-making. By offering support in strategic tasks, askLio enables buyers to focus on high-value activities rather than getting bogged down in daily operational tasks. This feature complements the other core functions by enhancing the strategic capabilities of procurement teams, thereby increasing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the procurement process.
