Can automation handle multi-language RFQs?

Yes — extraction models process common commercial languages; human review remains for legal clauses and non-standard certifications.

How do we model landed cost automatically?

Combine quote lines with duty tables, freight assumptions, and FX rates from treasury feeds. Expose assumptions to approvers so scenarios are transparent.

Will suppliers resist portal mandates?

Offer email-in parsing during transition, clear response SLAs, and faster payment visibility. Adoption rises when portals reduce quote rework.

How are single-source buys handled?

Require documented justification fields that route to category director and finance per policy before award.

Does this replace our ERP?

No — automation feeds ERP staging with validated master data; ERP remains financial system of record.

What categories should exporters automate first?

High-volume direct materials with repeat suppliers and clear specs — expand to MRO and logistics after routing rules mature.
