How it works

From a sentence to a standing automation

  1. Describe the job

    Say what starts it, what needs checking and who approves it. Envoy drafts the workflow.

  2. Point it at your systems

    The agent reads your mailbox, contracts and ERP. Nothing to re-plumb.

  3. Set the approvals

    Choose the tools each agent may use and the thresholds above which a person signs.

  4. It runs and writes back

    Every supplier email and request is handled, logged and written to SAP after approval.

Supplier operations

Every supplier email checked against the PO

Confirmations, exceptions, late orders and invoices are handled in the supplier’s own thread. Buyers only see what moved.

  • Envoy reads confirmations in the mailbox and checks price, quantity and dates against the PO. Buyers see the differences that need attention.

  • When an invoice or confirmation conflicts with the PO, Envoy finds the relevant contract term and drafts a reply with the clause attached.

  • Envoy follows up on late orders, updates the ERP with new delivery dates and flags suppliers that do not respond.

  • Envoy matches invoice lines to the PO and goods receipt. Matching lines post, small differences clear within tolerance, and buyers get the exceptions with the figures attached.

Write-back to SAP

Approve the change, then see exactly what was written to SAP

Envoy matches the supplier’s reply to the right purchase order line. Once you approve it, Envoy writes the new date to SAP and logs each changed field under your name.

Requests

Employees and suppliers answered against your policy

Employees ask in plain language and suppliers reply by email. Envoy settles what policy allows and pulls a buyer in only for a decision.

  • Employees describe what they need. Envoy checks contracted options, applies your policy and raises the order without making them fill in a portal form.

  • Envoy collects and checks registration details, certificates, insurance and bank details. Buyers review anything that does not pass.

  • Envoy quotes the passage behind every certificate, policy and term a vendor asserts, and drafts counterproposals where their terms differ from yours.

  • Use your existing approval rules or upload a procurement policy. Envoy turns the tiers, thresholds and routing into rules for each agent to follow.

Everything Buyer Automations runs

Enterprise

Agents that work inside your controls

How we handle security
  • Your own tenant

    Each customer runs in its own tenant, in the region you choose, encrypted in transit and at rest.

  • Approval before action

    You set the thresholds. Above them an agent stops and a named person signs.

  • Every action on the record

    Each step is logged with its actor, reason and time, before anything reaches a supplier.

  • Only the tools you grant

    An agent that reads spend cannot write to your ERP unless you switch that tool on.
