Procurement that thinks, decides, and acts

METIS is an AI operating system that handles your entire procurement cycle from the moment you raise a request to the moment a PO is issued  with little to no manual effort

Build for who you are

METIS is designed around two very different procurement realities and handles both with equal depth.

Drowning in Tail Spend?

When your team is buried in low-value, high-volume purchases, strategic work suffers. METIS autonomously handles the routine so your people handle the meaningful.

* Automate tail spend below your threshold
* Enforce policy without manual oversight
* Scales across global, multi-entity structures
* Full audit trails on every transactions

Most growing companies can't justify a full procurement department. METIS fills the gap, guiding you through complex processess as if you had a seasoned CPO on staff.

* No prior procurement knowledge required
* METIS walks you through every decision
* Pay-as-you-grow scales with your business
* Live in under 72 hours

What METIS actually does

Six core capabilities, each powered by specialized agents. All working together without having to coordinate a thing.

Supplier discovery

Searches, verifies, and scores suppliers automatically. Enriches profiles with contacts, capabilities, and risk ratings.

RFQ generation

Writes complete, professional RFQ documents including specifications, clarifying questions, and evaluation criteria.

Autonomous negotiation

Reads market rates, analyses supplier behavior, and executes counter-offers securing better terms without human intervention.

Proposal scoring

Evaluates every bid across set evaluation criteria and surfaces a clear recommendation with a documented rationale.

Predictive analytics

Learns your patterns, forecasts upcoming needs, and flags consolidation opportunities before you even ask.

Governance & compliance

Configurable approval flows, policy enforcement, and full audit trails tuned to your exact governance requirements.

How It Works?

What used to take week of emails and spreadsheets now happens end-to-end in under 72 hours.

Calculation Assumptions
Process Cost Reduction: METIS automates 75% of manual procurement effort through AI agents handling sourcing, RFQs, proposal scoring, and PO management. Remaining 25% accounts for approvals and exception handling.

AI Negotiation Savings: METIS AI negotiation engine drives an average 8-12% reduction below market baseline pricing, based on multi-supplier competitive bidding and behavioural negotiation tactics. Calculator uses a conservative 8% estimate.

Maverick Spend Recovery: Bringing off-contract spend under management typically yields 12% savings through preferred pricing and compliance. METIS's self-service interface makes compliant purchasing easier than going off-platform.

Supplier Onboarding Elimination: METIS's One Vendor model removes the need for individual supplier ERP onboarding. Industry average onboarding cost is $1,500-3,000 per supplier; calculator uses $1,800. Applied to 30% annual supplier churn.

Cycle Time: METIS reduces average procurement cycle time by approximately 70% through AI-driven automation and pre-qualified supplier catalogues.

These estimates are illustrative. Actual results depend on your specific procurement environment, supplier base, and spend categories. Contact us for a tailored assessment.

Common questions, straight answers

Everything you'd want to know before getting started

How quickly can we go live?

Most teams are live within 48-72 hours. There's no complex IT project - connect your email, optionally upload your existing supplier list, and METIS handles the rest. No ERP integration required to get started.

METIS integrates with any ERP/ Procurement Solution (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Coupa, Ivalua, Zycus, NetSuite, etc.). It can also operate independently and export in standard formats for manual reconciliation, useful while you evaluate a deeper integration.

Every action is logged with a complete audit trail. Approval thresholds, autonomy levels, and escalation paths are all configurable so METIS fits into your governance structure rather than around it.

Never. Your data stays yours. METIS is built with enterprise-grade security: end-to-end encryption, role-based access controls, and a database-per-tenant architecture that ensures your data is never commingled with other clients.

METIS is priced around the scale and complexity of your organisation's tail spend operation. Get in touch and we'll put together the right structure for you.
