Roadmap
What is in preparation. Nothing announced here as in preparation is available today.
In preparation, no committed dateSign-in with the company directory
Sign in with the company account rather than with an account specific to the tool. The connection is set up with your IT department.
Full landed cost
Compare suppliers on the full landed cost, transport and customs included, and complete transport: attention on the sales side, zone entry on screen. The transport share per item, the estimate of customs duties, provenance zones and the transport norm are already delivered; rankings remain at net price.
Intercompany rules
Apply the rules between companies of the same group to analyses, savings and price control, and eliminate them on consolidation. Spotting purchasing opportunities between companies and the transfer price in the best-price comparison are already delivered.
Annual supplier agreements
Record an annual agreement per period and per turnover base, with its quantified conditions — a threshold AND a percentage, never a percentage alone — and cancel it per operation, in a new version. The engine and its tables are in place; the commands, the views and the screen are still to be built. No agreement yet applies to a price.
Customs duties base
Load into your company's database the duty rates that actually apply, on your own codes and origins. The duty estimate from the nomenclature is already in place; matching the real rates against your database is not yet.
Local assistant
An assistant that runs on your side, with no remote model, and suggests matches that the buyer accepts or rejects.
The order of the list indicates neither a priority nor a schedule. An item is announced as available only once it is delivered and tested.
Off the roadmap: delivered
These items used to be listed here. They are delivered and tested, with the limits stated.
Multi-user containerised deployment
An installation in containers, on your side, for several users at the same time. Sign-in with the company directory remains in preparation.
Editable supplier record
Payment terms, group buyer, contract type and transport, gathered and editable on one record, with contract expiry alerts set on the notice period.
Import file per ERP
A file in the format of each ERP (CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, fixed width), checked by supply planning, reversible, then read back from the ERP. The format of each ERP is set from a sample file provided by your IT department. The tool never writes to the ERP: a person imports the file.
Company branding
Colours, logo and menu names, set by an administrator, with a preview, a contrast check and the option to undo.
Supplier convergence
Say whether a supplier belongs to the group, is tolerated or is exotic, for the whole supplier or for a single family of items, and bring up the gap that is left to deal with. A supplier that was never qualified is never assumed exotic: its spend is shown apart. Only the purchasing manager decides, with a reason, and that decision can be revised or annulled.
Substitution of an exotic reference
For a reference bought from an exotic supplier, the tool proposes the equivalents it already knows at group suppliers, compared in the same unit and the same currency. The buyer accepts or rejects, with a reason: nothing is ordered, written to an ERP or recalculated. When no equivalent exists, the screen carries the request for help to the partner manufacturer. What is delivered is the proposal, the traced decision and that request; the equivalence base between manufacturers and the similarity assistant remain in preparation.
New items
Spot the references no earlier supplier price list carried, and qualify them: to be created, or rejected. The request goes out as a file that a person injects into the ERP: the tool never writes to an ERP. The qualification screen is delivered; the scheduled watch of new references remains in preparation.
Intercompany transfer price in the group best price
For an entity that buys an item, its transfer price to the other group companies (its purchase price plus a margin, plus freight) is compared with the best supplier price. The transfer price applies to this comparison only: analysis, savings and price control do not use it yet. The per-line freight formula is for your finance team to review, and the tool does not check whether the selling company can really absorb the volume.
Volume proposal for supply planning
When a price rise is announced, the profitable quantity to order on top of your MRP's requirement, entity by entity, net of stock, open orders and planned orders. It is decision support, shown in the supply planner's task list: the tool writes nothing to the ERP. It does not read the ERP directly (stock, orders and planned orders come from files supplied by your IT department), has no dedicated screen and does not recalculate by itself after a synchronisation.
Provenance zones and transport norm
The company sets its provenance zones; an item's zone is entered in bulk with a preview and is never deduced from a country. The buyer compares an item's transport share with the median of its ERP family, then of its zone. The thresholds have no default value: until your purchasing team sets them, everything stays not assessable. The zone is entered by command for now, not on screen; the list of zones and the thresholds are for the company to confirm.
Commercial manager and site manager screens
The commercial manager follows volume commitments (kept or not) and joint visits with the buyer, with no price or margin, and enters their visits. The site manager sees their own company only: savings, price-control gaps and ERP application delays, read-only. Each screen is filtered on the server to the signed-in account. "Kept" means achieved over twelve months at least equal to committed (a default rule, to be confirmed); the state of commitments is not kept period by period and is not linked to annual agreements.
Portable per-ERP export model, and its measured gain
An ERP's file model is exported and re-imported as YAML: strict import with a preview, a new cancellable version. The tool also measures the model's gain: the share of a price list's lines that come out safe, and those still to check. An earlier production without counts gives empty values, never zero. Each format still has to be set on a sample file from a real ERP, supplied by your IT department.
What the tool does not do
These points are not on the roadmap.
- Write directly to the ERP.
- Forecast prices: advice starts from an announced increase.
- Send your data to a remote artificial intelligence.
- Host your data at the publisher.
