How AI is used
Buyer24 is a procurement tool designed to support the Request for Quote (RFQ) process. It focuses on unifying supplier communication and converting unstructured data—such as PDFs and Excel sheets—into structured comparison tables to help buyers make sourcing decisions.
The software is designed for procurement teams in sectors including commercial distribution, MRO, construction, and the public sector. It supports workflows from initial RFQ creation and supplier follow-ups to final quote analysis.
Buyers should note that while the tool can work alongside existing ERP systems, it is primarily designed to handle the quote collection and comparison phase. It is suited for those sourcing catalog items where multiple supplier quotes are required for compliance or price optimization.
Because the tool relies on AI for data extraction, users should review and verify extracted details before finalizing purchase decisions.
