Direct Procurement Platform
Full-stack marketplace infrastructure for sourcing inventory at scale.
Procurement without the marketplace tax
Built a procurement platform that enables businesses to source inventory directly from suppliers, reducing reliance on third-party marketplaces and improving unit economics.
High-volume sourcing was stuck on marketplaces
High-volume inventory sourcing relied heavily on third-party marketplaces, leading to:
- Significant fees impacting margins
- Fragmented and inconsistent supply
- Limited control over procurement workflows
At the same time, suppliers faced platform fees and lacked predictable, high-volume buyers.
Direct matchmaking between buyers and suppliers
Developed a direct procurement platform that connects buyers and suppliers in a streamlined workflow.
The platform allows buyers to publish demand and pricing dynamically, while suppliers can browse, match inventory, and submit orders directly.
Key capabilities include:
Dynamic pricing engine
Market-informed pricing that updates automatically based on external signals.
Supplier workflow
Tools for building, submitting, and tracking inventory bundles through approval and fulfillment.
Transaction automation
Automated invoicing, order processing, and payout scheduling.
Operational visibility
End-to-end tracking from submission through verification and completion.
Notification system
Real-time updates across key stages of the transaction lifecycle.
A repeatable procurement workflow
The platform standardizes procurement into a clear, repeatable workflow:
Verified access to publish and fulfill against buyer demand.
Browse demand, match stock, and prepare bundles.
Structured offers submitted for review.
Rules-based approval with invoices generated on acceptance.
Fulfillment with visibility into inbound logistics.
Receipt, inspection, and reconciliation before payout.
Scheduled payouts aligned with verified receipt.
Transaction closed; records retained for operations and finance.
