Built for the complexity of
Project Based Sourcing
In project-driven manufacturing, no two sourcing events are the same. MANUFACTURERS.
Every project brings a new bill of materials from engineering, new specifications, and new packages to be sourced — often under schedule pressure, with significant capital at stake. And most of this sourcing happens twice — once at bid stage to price the project, and again after award to execute it.
Challenges in Project Sourcing
Sourcing happens twice — and the context is lost.
Quotes and supplier agreements from bid stage live in emails; post-award sourcing restarts from zero, with vendors re-quoting higher.
No standing history, no reliable cost base.
Every package is new — bid-stage costs come from rough estimates or budgetary quotes, and the project margin locks to those numbers.
Sourcing events take too long to initiate.
Extracting requirements from 100-page documents and building RFQs from scratch means weeks pass before an enquiry even reaches suppliers.
Technical Evaluations are cumbersome and time-consuming.
Checking every supplier response against lengthy specifications slows sourcing — and slow evaluations lead to delayed awards.
How Stozia Helps
Built for complex manufacturing sourcing, Stozia deploys four AI analysts — each running a distinct part of the sourcing process.
Run sourcing in pre-bid mode — convert it at award.
The same event, with its suppliers, quotes, and clarifications, carries into post-award execution. Nothing restarts from zero.
Sourcing events initiated automatically from BOMs.
Drawings and specs tagged to the right items, buyers assigned, structured RFQs sent with follow-ups running on their own.
Technical Bid Evaluation automated.
Every response compared line-by-line against spec, deviations classified — engineering reviews only what needs review.
Negotiations anchored in cost intelligence.
Should-cost and historical benchmarks turned into supplier-specific targets, refreshed after every round.
Change orders validated, everything auditable.
