Supplier onboarding

Collect docs, set up accounts and keep your vendor records clean and current.

Invoice matching

Match invoices to POs and deliveries so you only pay for what you actually got.

FAQ

Procurement & Supply, answered.

Do you work inside our ERP or purchasing system?
Yes — we operate in the tools you already run, whether that's a full ERP, supplier portals or spreadsheets. No new platform required.
Will you deal directly with our suppliers?
If you want us to. We can chase quotes, confirm orders and manage day-to-day contact under your name — or stay behind the scenes and prep everything for your sign-off.
Are you tied to particular vendors?
No. We're supplier-neutral — recommendations are based on cost, lead time and reliability, and every buying decision is yours to approve.
How do you make sure nothing gets missed?
AI tracks every order and flags risks; a person owns the follow-up, chases late deliveries and reconciles invoices — so orders don't quietly slip.
How much does outsourced procurement cost?
A dedicated procurement specialist starts from about NZ$2,400 per month — typically 60–80% less than a NZ$85k+ per year local hire, with no super, recruitment or downtime.
How fast can you start?
A dedicated specialist is matched to your industry and onboarded in about two weeks, working inside the systems you already use.
How does the human sign-off work?
AI drafts the POs and tracks the noise, but a named specialist reviews and signs off every purchase order, supplier choice and payment before it goes out — so accountability never leaves a person.
Is there a minimum volume?
No strict minimum. Start with one specialist part-time and scale month to month — add capacity, pause or grow with no lock-in.
