An AI agent runs the entire MTP procurement cycle: finds analogues by specs, checks stock and market price, sources suppliers and handles correspondence. The buyer only approves decisions.
FAQ
How is this different from analogue search on a marketplace or an off-the-shelf catalog?
Marketplaces search by name and deal with open consumer goods. The agent parses the MTP description into technical specs — type, dimensions, material, GOST / DIN / ASME — and matches analogues by parameters, with an A–D verdict and an explanation of what matched. It decides on engineering equivalence, not string matching.
Do we have to fill a reference catalog by hand for years, like with NORBIT / ASCON / AGORA?
No. We deliver not an empty normalization engine but an already-trained model: it extracts specs from the description and matches analogues by parameters. It deploys on your MTP catalog — without years of manual population.
Who is responsible if the agent makes a mistake?
A human in the loop (HITL). The agent explains every verdict and decision with a trace to the source, and escalates anything non-standard to the buyer: hazardous cargo, sanctions, a price more than 30% above the previous one, a large deal, an anomalous price. A confidently-wrong answer never passes without approval.
Where does the current price come from and can it be trusted?
The market price is gathered from open sources with provenance and cross-checking across several sources. Anomalies and suspected overpayment are flagged and queued for human review.
How does the agent work with suppliers?
It sources suppliers per item from a qualified base (GMP / ISO / NDA), requests prices by email, automatically ingests and parses responses into quotes (price, lead time, MOQ), and consolidates offers into a comparison with a top-3 recommendation.
Where is it deployed and does data leave the perimeter?
On-Premise in the customer's closed perimeter — catalog, stock and correspondence stay inside. Only requests to open price sources and RFQs to specific suppliers, which you approve yourself, go outside.
