How are large tenders processed autonomously?
How tenders are processed
Large tenders are processed autonomously by parsing the bid request, validating each line against catalog, pricing, and inventory, applying contract terms, and generating a complete bid response. Tenders with 500 to 5,000 lines that took days manually now complete in under 30 minutes. Healthcare distribution and public sector are top tender use cases.

Frequently asked questions
How long does deployment take?
First production flow ships in 6 to 12 weeks. Coverage scales to 80 percent autonomy within 6 to 9 months on disciplined deployments. New countries and channels add in days, not months.
How is the program measured day to day?
Three numbers carry the program: autonomy rate (share executed without human touch), first-time-right rate (share correct on the first pass), and cost per order. Cycle time and exception volume sit underneath.
Who owns it inside the organization?
Operations and IT co-own. The business case sits with the CFO, the architecture with the CIO, and the day-to-day outcomes with customer service and sales. The AI engineering is vendor responsibility, not a customer build.
