How it works

Agents prepare the work. Your people approve it.

Opgate runs the whole purchase, from the first request to the paid invoice. Agents do the legwork and your team makes the calls, under rules you set. Here is what happens at each stage.

How it works

1

Connect what you have

Your ERP, inbox and spreadsheets. The data does not need to be clean first, and there is no six-month rollout.

2

Agents do the legwork

Requests, offers, orders and documents, prepared and waiting for a decision instead of your time.

3

Your team decides

One list, under your approval rules. Approved changes are written back to the systems you already run.

Before the order

Find and compare

Agents draft requests to the suppliers you choose and chase the replies for you. When offers come back they are normalised to one axis, units, incoterms and lead time aligned, so the cheapest offer really is the cheapest to own.

  • Draft RFQs to the suppliers you pick
  • Chase late and partial replies
  • Normalise every offer to the price per unit
  • Rank offers with the money attached
The order

Place and confirm

The purchase order is drafted straight from the winning offer and routed to the right person under your approval rules. The moment it is approved, it is written back to your ERP. Nobody re-types it.

  • Draft the PO from the chosen offer
  • Route it for approval
  • Write the approved PO back to your ERP
  • Keep a full record of who approved what
After the order

Track and check

Agents watch order confirmations and delivery dates, chase whatever is missing, and match each incoming invoice against its order and receipt before anyone pays. A price that does not match is flagged, not paid.

  • Watch confirmations and delivery dates
  • Chase missing confirmations automatically
  • Match invoice to order and receipt
  • Flag any price or quantity gap before payment
All the time

Watch and warn

In the background, agents track price and lead-time drift across your suppliers and vet new ones against company records, financials, court records and news. Problems surface as ranked alerts, not surprises.

  • Monitor price and lead-time drift
  • Vet new suppliers before you commit
  • Surface risks as ranked alerts
  • Keep the supplier history in one place

Nothing reaches a supplier without a person.

Every message and every change waits for approval, and every step is logged. The agents remove the busywork. Your team keeps the decisions.
