Purchasing

Purchasing on autopilot, from raw materials to MRO

From material request to booked bill, Quiet AI drafts POs, codes invoices, and prepares payments for everything you buy. You just approve.

A vendor quote lands in your purchasing inbox.

How it works

Zero-touch until you're needed. Full control, always.

GmailOutlookSlack

Message arrives

A material request from the shop floor in Slack, an inbound supplier invoice, a pricing inquiry, a W-9. Anything that touches your purchasing workflow.

Quiet AI

Quiet AI handles it

Reads the message, figures out what it is, and takes the next step: drafting a PO, coding an invoice, responding to a supplier, requesting approval, or flagging something that needs your attention.

You stay in control

Most workflows run start to finish without you. When there's a payment to approve, a PO to sign off on, or an exception that needs judgment, the AI brings it to you. You can step in and course-correct at any point, but you only have to when it matters.

Purchasing / AP Mailboxes

Where supplier quotes, POs, and invoices land

  • Existing inbox: Hooks up to purchasing@yourcompany.com or wherever suppliers send quotes and invoices today
  • Full visibility: Sees quotes, purchase orders, invoices, payment inquiries, W-9s, and everything else your suppliers and team send
  • No change for suppliers: No new portals for them, no manual file uploading for you
  • Gmail and Outlook: Both fully supported

Your data, locked down

Encrypted end-to-end

AES-256 at rest, HTTPS-only in transit, with full HSTS and security headers

Your data stays yours

Commercial API terms mean your data is never used for model training

Isolated by design

Every query is scoped to your organization. No cross-tenant data access, ever

Full audit trail

Every action is logged: who did what, when, and what changed

Under 30 minutes

Set up once. Automate forever.

No implementation fees. No long-term contracts. No IT involvement. No supplier disruption.

1

Sign into your purchasing mailbox

All you need is your email login, like purchasing@company.com. Sign in, grant Quiet AI access, and you're connected. No forwarding rules, no migration, no IT involvement.

2

Connect your accounting system

Link QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage, or whatever you use. Suppliers, GL codes, and payment records stay in sync automatically.

3

Connect your bank account

Link the account you pay suppliers from. Quiet AI prepares payments for you. Nothing moves until you approve it.

4

Set your approval rules

Decide who can approve what: by amount, supplier, department, or however your team works.

5

You're live

Quiet AI starts organizing supplier emails, capturing invoices, coding line items, and drafting responses. Immediately.

Zero disruption for your suppliers.

  • They keep emailing the same address they always have
  • Replies come from your inbox, in your name
  • No portal, no login, no change to their workflow

Try it in read-only mode first.

Quiet AI can run in observation mode: reading your inbox and organizing quotes, POs, and invoices without sending emails, making payments, or touching your ERP. See exactly what it would do, with zero risk. Turn on automation when you're ready.

Hard guardrails. Full paper trail.

Quiet AI processes invoices and drafts communications. But the AI operates inside hard boundaries. Not guidelines, not best-effort policies, but structural rules it cannot override.

Data access is scoped, not trusted

The AI can only access data relevant to the recipient it's drafting for. A supplier asking about their invoice simply cannot surface another supplier's terms, your internal notes, or your banking details.

Traceable, not hallucinated

Every figure, date, and line item Quiet AI produces is tied to a source document in your system. If it doesn't have the answer, it says so. It never makes something up.

Everything is auditable

Every action has a paper trail. Who approved what, what the AI drafted, what changed, and when. If a question comes up six months from now, the answer is already logged.
