How Keelvar beats competition
Five capabilities that give your team time to focus on what matters
Requests that start themselves
End users are guided through intake in plain language. The right sourcing agent is recommended, the event is populated automatically. Or skip human input entirely — intake can be triggered directly from integrated upstream systems.
The right suppliers, selected automatically
Kai reviews your supplier profiles and the context of each request, then flags the most appropriate suppliers for that event. The right shortlist surfaces automatically, and you stay free to adjust it.
Bid sheets built and launched without you
Once a request is approved, the agent creates the sourcing event — bid sheet, questions, structure — and launches it. No configuration required from your team. Every event follows your template, every time.
Automated price compression
Define the conditions that move the event forward and let Kai decide the optimal bid duration. Suppliers see the full bidding schedule upfront. Your team stays in control at every point, without having to manage it manually.
Award recommendation and full visibility
Kai evaluates bids and recommends an award the moment bidding closes — automatically for straightforward spend, or held for approval when sign-off is needed. Every outcome is captured in a single dashboard, integrated to your systems.
Numbers speak louder than words
tasks automated in manufacturing
events automated in food & beverage
fewer calls to procurement in direct materials
FTE hours saved in technology

FAQs
Straight answers to common questions about Keelvar.
Autonomous sourcing is the practice of using automation to execute sourcing workflows end-to-end — from receiving a purchase request to running the event, engaging suppliers, analysing responses, and delivering an award recommendation — with minimal manual intervention. In Keelvar, autonomous sourcing is not a single-mode workflow. It is a configurable system where the level of AI involvement is calibrated to the complexity and risk profile of the spend category.
Sourcing automation builds repeatable workflows that execute predefined steps. Agentic sourcing goes further: AI agents can reason, adapt, and make decisions based on changing inputs — not just follow a fixed script. In Keelvar's agentic sourcing model, agents assess a sourcing request, choose the appropriate event structure, respond dynamically to supplier behaviour, and escalate to humans when decisions fall outside defined parameters. Automation is a component of agentic sourcing, not the whole of it.
Tasks that Keelvar can automate end-to-end include: intake and routing of sourcing requests, bid sheet and event creation, supplier selection and invitation, RfX launch and management, supplier communication and reminders, bid analysis, scenario modelling, award recommendations, and rate storage. For high-volume, lower-complexity spend — tail spend, spot buys, routine logistics, and MRO — entire workflows can run without human intervention from request to award.
You define the rules. Keelvar's autonomous sourcing workflows are built on logic your team configures: which suppliers to invite, what approval thresholds apply, when to escalate, and what a valid bid looks like. AI agents execute within those boundaries. If conditions fall outside parameters — an unusual bid, a supplier not responding, a savings threshold not met — the system flags the event for human review rather than proceeding automatically.
Results compound over time. A leading beverage company saved the equivalent of 1,575 workdays across 175 events. A global heavy-equipment manufacturer increased event volume by 1,620% year-on-year without adding headcount. A multinational consumer goods firm scaled from managing $4M to $228M in spend per month through the platform. Across Keelvar's customer base, 85% of sourcing activity is now automated, and some events complete in under 15 minutes.
Yes, though the configuration differs by category. High-volume, low-complexity categories like tail spend, MRO spot buys, and routine logistics are well-suited to near-fully automated workflows. Strategic categories — direct materials, complex services, packaging — typically involve more human oversight at key decision points. Keelvar is designed to calibrate the AI–human balance by category, not impose a single workflow on all spend.
