The problem it solves

Your overseas suppliers send order confirmations and terms in their own language, and procurement has to guess or wait for a translation before approving. Missed payment terms or quantity errors slip through when nobody fully understands the document. Approvals get stuck in email threads while people track down a translator.

Who it fits

Manufacturers and importers working with overseas suppliers and factories.

How it works

  1. A supplier sends a purchase order confirmation by email
  2. The document is translated into your procurement team's language
  3. Key terms like price, quantity, and payment schedule are highlighted
  4. The translated PO is routed to the approver with a summary
  5. The approval decision is logged back to your procurement system
What you get

What you need

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
