What your team will build
In two days your team builds AI Agents that automate each part of procurement and supply chain:
- Purchase requests and quotationsAI Agent that automates data entry. It reads purchase requisitions and supplier quotations, PDF or scanned, in English or Bahasa Melayu, from a folder and writes the data into a database. No retyping.
- Sourcing and negotiationAI Agent that automates quotation comparison. It drafts the RFQ, compares supplier quotations side by side on total cost, flags when there are fewer quotations than your policy requires, prepares the tender evaluation summary and the negotiation brief, and lets your buyer rehearse the negotiation with AI playing the supplier.
- Supplier managementAI Agent that automates supplier records. It keeps each supplier's file, with company registration, licences and their expiry dates and integrity declaration, tracks contract prices and renewal dates, and scores each supplier on delivery, quality and risk. These records support your anti-bribery procedures under Section 17A of the MACC Act.
- Orders and deliveriesAI Agent that automates order follow-ups. It matches each purchase order to its delivery order and the supplier's e-Invoice, flags a mismatch, and sends the team a daily email listing late orders.
- Logistics and shippingAI Agent that automates logistics updates. It summarises shipment exceptions and drafts delivery schedules and route updates for suppliers, transporters and the warehouse.
- Stock and reorderAI Agent that automates reorder planning. It analyses demand, slow-moving items and stockouts, and suggests what to reorder.
- Procurement dashboardAI Agent that automates the procurement dashboard. It turns your purchasing data into a dashboard of spend by category and supplier, buying outside contracts, savings, on-time delivery and open purchase orders for management, with a short note on what changed this month.
AI safety and security. Your team also learns to use AI safely: how to keep supplier and pricing data confidential, how to spot a wrong answer before it reaches a tender decision, and how to protect each agent from hidden instructions planted in a supplier's quotation or email, and from leaking pricing data.
AI governance. They also set simple procurement rules for AI: who may build an agent, what supplier data it may use, and who signs off its work.
The agent prepares and compares. Your procurement team selects every supplier and approves every order.
No coding. If your team can use Excel and an AI tool, they can build this, step by step with the trainer. Each participant builds a simple working version in class, on sample data.
Who should attend
Procurement and purchasing managers and executives, and supply chain, logistics and planning professionals.
The class is pitched at intermediate level, but it is open to anyone who works with Excel and an AI tool. Entry-level participants follow every exercise step by step with the trainer; experienced participants go further in the hands-on labs. Bring a laptop. A paid Claude or ChatGPT subscription is recommended. No coding needed. Exercises use sample data. Please do not bring real staff or company records.
