What Polymr automated.

Inbound quotes parsed across email and portal, scored on price, lead time, MOQ, and supplier reliability against a rolling baseline. Recommended PO drafted in Oracle for buyer signature.

← All cases

A buyer's morning. Quote to PO inside an hour.

The narrative below is reconstructed from one real morning during the deployment. Three supplier quotes, one buyer, one PO out the door.

  1. 01T+0

    Quote PDFs arrive.

    Three supplier quotes land in the procurement inbox between 08:40 and 09:12. Each in a different layout.

  2. 02T+6m

    Polymr parses them.

    Price-per-unit, lead time, MOQ, payment terms, freight basis extracted across all three. Supplier reliability pulled from the rolling 12-month baseline.

  3. 03T+9m

    Scored against the baseline.

    Vendor 2 wins on landed cost; Vendor 1 wins on lead time; Vendor 3 ranked third on reliability. The trade-off is surfaced explicitly to the buyer.

  4. 04T+14m

    Draft PO in Oracle.

    Recommended PO drafted in Oracle Fusion with the winning vendor pre-selected. Buyer signs at T+22 minutes after a short confirmation.

22mfrom first quote in the inbox to a signed PO in Oracle. The prior baseline was three business days.
