The Challenge

Procurement teams spend enormous time manually creating RFQs (Request for Quotation) and RFPs (Request for Proposal), then coordinating with suppliers through email chains. The client needed a platform to automate document generation and centralize supplier collaboration.

What I Built

A full-stack procurement platform that uses AI to streamline the entire sourcing workflow. Built with React, PostgreSQL, and Perplexity AI integration. Key features:
AI-powered RFQ/RFP generation: Input your requirements, and the system generates professional procurement documents with industry-standard formatting
Supplier collaboration portal: Suppliers receive, review, and respond to RFQs/RFPs through a shared workspace (no more email chains)
AI-assisted supplier matching: Uses Perplexity AI to research and recommend suppliers based on your procurement criteria
Bid comparison engine: Side-by-side comparison of supplier responses with automated scoring
Audit trail: Full history of every procurement interaction for compliance

Tech Stack

React (frontend), PostgreSQL (database), Perplexity AI (supplier research & document generation)

Result

Reduced RFQ/RFP creation time from hours to minutes. Supplier response management moved from scattered email threads to a single collaborative workspace.
