Frankly, procurement doesn’t need another tool. It has plenty - sourcing software, approval workflows, contract storage, supplier portals. The real problem isn’t a lack of software.

‍

It’s that people still have to use it all.

‍

So we asked: What if they didn’t?

‍

‍

First, we built Spendflo for buyers. Then we realized they were trapped.

‍

Our earliest product helped fast-growing teams negotiate and manage SaaS contracts. We saved companies millions. It worked.

‍

But as our footprint grew, a pattern emerged.

‍

Finance teams loved our savings. Legal teams loved our speed. Procurement teams saved time. But overall, people who were involved in procurement decisions… were overwhelmed.

‍

Because software didn’t replace their work, it just reorganized it.

‍

Approvals still lived in email threads. Contracts still got buried in shared drives. Renewals still caught teams off guard. And vendor management? Mostly firefighting.

‍

We weren’t fixing the root problem. We were just building a better bucket for a leaking pipe.

‍

So we built Spendflo AI, our procurement engine. It learns your policies, understands your vendors, monitors your contracts, and flags what needs attention. The rest? It handles.

‍

Spendflo AI isn’t a chatbot. It’s not a glorified autocomplete. It’s a system of AI agents. Each agent handles a specific job: approvals, agents, compliance, without adding meetings or asking for more headcount.

‍

‍

But AI alone isn’t enough.

‍

What good is AI if it still meant Finance and Procurement teams still had to worry about the execution? So we paired it with a team of certified experts who monitor, override, and guide AI when human nuance is needed. And, more importantly, a team that owns your outcome.

‍

Together, they form a new procurement model:
AI-led. Expert-backed. Guaranteed savings.

‍

This isn’t an assistant. It’s a replacement for the work no one wants to do.

‍

‍

Why we’re doing this

‍

Because procurement deserves better than being the last thing anyone wants to deal with.

‍

Because $1M in savings isn’t a “nice-to-have” when budgets are tightening and teams are lean.

‍

Because the best-run companies don’t have a procurement function. They have a procurement engine.

‍

And because we believe in a world where 70% of your spend is under control in 60 days. No forms. No follow-ups. No fire drills.

AI Procurement, Done For You

‍

Spendflo isn’t a collection of features. It’s a system built to deliver outcomes:

‍

• Centralized intake, contracts, and vendors.

‍

‍

• Insights before decisions, not after.

‍

‍

• Renewals you control. Spend you optimize.

‍

• Savings you can prove.

‍

‍

‍

Spendflo is no longer just a procurement tool. It’s how you offload procurement entirely, with the confidence that AI and experts have your back.

‍

This is AI procurement, done for you.

‍

Not a dashboard. Not a to-do list. A new operating model. And now, it does. 

‍

‍

‍

How is Spendflo AI better?

‍

Spendflo’s AI strategy is designed around a single insight: delivering true outcomes in procurement requires more than standalone AI—it requires enterprise context, human judgment, and cross-functional orchestration. Our differentiated approach is anchored in three core pillars:

‍

1) Context-Aware AI with Embedded Governance

Spendflo AI agents are built with deep domain knowledge and operate within real procurement workflows. They:

• Pull from historical contracts, negotiation transcripts, and ERP systems
  
• Are aware of organization-specific approval flows and compliance rules
  
• Recommend actions that account for both company policy and business context

‍

2) Human-in-the-Loop Judgement Layer

Procurement is filled with ambiguity, edge cases, and sensitive negotiations. Our approach ensures that:

• AI agents hand off complex or strategic tasks to human experts
  
• Negotiators intervene in high-stakes or stalled deals
  
• Compliance and legal teams maintain oversight on risky exceptions

‍

3) Outcome-Based Workflow Integration

Rather than bolt-on intelligence, Spendflo embeds AI agents within workflows that:

• Initiate vendor negotiations or reviews.
  
• Catch unmanaged spend or compliance gaps
  
• Extract and use contract metadata to drive alerts and follow-through.

‍

This model builds trust, avoids blind spots, and ensures AI decisions are auditable and aligned.

‍

Together, these pillars form a cohesive, defensible strategy. Spendflo is not just deploying AI. We’re orchestrating a system of outcomes that evolves with each customer’s needs.
