Problem
Manufacturers rely on manual, memory‑driven processes and legacy ERP systems for procurement, leading to time‑consuming vendor communication, delayed quote negotiations, and frequent errors in bill‑of‑materials (BOM) management.
Solution
Andromeda provides an autonomous AI‑driven procurement employee that can ingest and maintain BOM data, locate and vet suppliers, issue RFQs, negotiate pricing, and generate purchase orders. The platform integrates directly with existing ERP systems or spreadsheets, allowing manufacturers to retain their current data sources. Users configure which procurement steps are fully automated and where approval gates enforce human oversight, creating a transparent, auditable workflow. Real‑time updates and an immutable audit trail keep all actions traceable, reducing cycle times and operational overhead while preserving control.
Target Audience
Primary customers are mid‑size to large manufacturers that manage complex supply chains and seek to streamline procurement while maintaining control over critical purchasing decisions.
