The use case

Run every category. Discover every supplier. Defend every award.

Strategic sourcing teams burning six months on cycles that should take sixty days. The same four suppliers RFP'd every time because no one has bandwidth to discover new ones. Twelve responses arriving in twelve formats, normalized in Excel over three days, scored by gut feel as much as method. The award decision lands without a paper trail the CFO can defend at audit.

Sourcing Agent compresses the whole cycle. Drafts the RFx from a requirement description against your category template. Discovers qualified suppliers across the Flowie network and your private graph. Distributes, collects responses, normalizes into one comparable matrix, scores on weighted criteria, recommends an award with full reasoning. Pairs natively with Supplier Onboarding Agent — winning suppliers move from award to active vendor without leaving Flowie.

For who

Chief Procurement Officer
Strategic sourcing should take 60 days. It takes 6 months and we still miss savings.
Procurement Director
We RFP the same 4 suppliers. No bandwidth to discover new ones.
Category Manager
Comparing 12 RFQ responses across 30 line items in Excel = 3 days of work.
CFO
Procurement says we saved X. I can't audit how the number was reached.

Capabilities

What Sourcing Agent actually does.

01Capability

RFx Drafting from Requirement

Describe what you need in plain language. The agent drafts a structured RFI, RFP, or RFQ — line items, technical specifications, commercial terms, SLAs, ESG questions, security questionnaire — formatted to your category template.

02Capability

Supplier Discovery via Astral

Identifies qualified suppliers across the Flowie network of 600M+ companies AND your private supplier graph. Surfaces incumbents, prior bidders, network-vetted alternatives, and category specialists you've never approached.

03Capability

Multi-Criteria Scoring

Configurable scoring on price, delivery lead time, ESG posture, financial risk, prior performance, certifications, and geographic fit. Weights are yours — the agent applies them consistently across every response.

04Capability

Response Normalization

Twelve responses, thirty heterogeneous line items, four units of measure. The agent normalizes everything into a single comparable matrix. No more 3-day Excel rebuilds before every award meeting.
