Lumari
Lumari provides an AI-powered operating layer that automates direct procurement for advanced manufacturing companies, handling everything from RFQ generation to purchase order creation and supplier follow-up. The platform's agents work across existing systems like NetSuite, Arena, Outlook, and Teams, requiring zero supplier adoption since suppliers continue communicating through email. Lumari groups similar parts into structured RFQs and escalates exceptions to human teams for judgment.

Problem
Direct procurement teams in advanced manufacturing industries manage thousands of RFQs, purchase orders, and supplier communications across fragmented systems like ERP, PLM, and email. Staff spend excessive time on administrative transactions—generating RFQs, chasing supplier confirmations, manually updating order statuses—leaving little capacity for strategic work like shortage resolution, cost reduction, or supplier risk evaluation.
Solution
Lumari provides an AI-powered operating layer that automates direct procurement from sourcing to delivery. The platform's agents monitor supplier emails, parse quotes and shipping updates, group similar parts into structured RFQs, create purchase orders in the ERP, follow up for confirmations, and keep order records current with revised dates and tracking numbers. Lumari connects to existing systems like NetSuite, Arena, Outlook, and Microsoft Teams, closing gaps between them without requiring supplier adoption or changes to established workflows. The AI escalates exceptions—shortages, revision changes, quality issues, or supplier risks—to human teams for judgment, enabling procurement staff to focus on strategic exceptions rather than transactions.
Target Audience
Lumari serves direct procurement and supply chain teams in advanced manufacturing sectors including aerospace and defense, automotive, semiconductors, life sciences, and energy infrastructure, particularly companies managing high-mix BOMs and complex supplier networks.
