Procurement Chatbots

Procurement bots

Virtual assistants helping in automating your manual procurement processes end-to-end

Procurement Chatbots + RPA = Improved (cost+time) savings + process efficiencies

Procurement team often needs to refer to volumes of documents regarding contract status, taxation, policies, preferred supplier, order status, shipment, delivery and payment, etc. Besides, several low-value tasks like attending user queries, double checking details in the purchase orders, etc., consume a significant amount of time, impacting overall productivity.

Time-consuming processes like contract management, third-party risk management, category management and supplier management are ideal for automation.

BotCore’s procurement bots bring the power of chatbots and RPA together to deliver both front-end and back-end automation.

While chatbots can help capture user information, provide personalized recommendations and simplify the buying process, RPA, upon users’ request via chatbot, can mimic human actions, interact with applications, and perform mundane tasks.
