See the full sourcing lifecycle in action
From a business request to a structured award decision — here's exactly what MadSourcing does at every step. Start from the business or start from procurement. The platform meets you wherever the need begins.
Capture the demand
The business submits a request through a simple intake form — accessible without a platform account. Or procurement creates a project directly. The AI structures the input, classifies the sourcing area, and assesses event readiness. Category-specific clarifying questions are generated and can be sent to the relevant people in the business.
- ✓Business-facing intake form (no login required)
- ✓AI-structured brief with category classification
- ✓Readiness assessment and event type recommendation
- ✓Clarifying questions generated automatically
Research the category in minutes
MadSourcing takes your business context and matches it against real-time external research. Market dynamics, regulatory requirements, and supplier landscape — structured as intelligence where internal context and external findings are reasoned together. Every finding cites its source.
- ✓Up-to-date web search for market-specific data
- ✓Regulatory requirements scoped to your jurisdiction
- ✓Validated supplier candidates with specializations
- ✓All findings sourced and reasoning explained
From intelligence to sourcing requirements
Intelligence findings enhance your sourcing requirements — commercial terms, compliance demands, evaluation criteria, sustainability requirements. Organized by domain and validated against the analysis. Your technical specifications come from the business. MadSourcing builds the sourcing framework around them. Edit anything. Add your own.
- ✓Enhanced with intelligence findings
- ✓Organized by domain (commercial, compliance, sustainability)
- ✓Fully editable — add, remove, reorder
- ✓Quality indicators per requirement
Design what you ask suppliers
Sourcing requirements generate structured collection cards — typed questions suppliers answer directly in the platform. Numbers stay numbers. Tables stay tables. Accept/reject stays binary. No more interpreting free-form PDF responses.
- ✓Response cards with typed fields (text, number, table, upload)
- ✓One requirement can map to multiple collection questions
- ✓Supplier invitation with professional outreach
- ✓Built-in Q&A between buyer and suppliers
Compare on evidence, decide confidently
Supplier responses are extracted and normalized automatically. Different pricing models are harmonized into comparable structures. Intangible responses receive AI-assisted reasoning to surface the differences that actually matter. The evaluation is built on structured evidence.
- ✓Automatic response extraction and normalization
- ✓Pricing model harmonization across suppliers
- ✓AI reasoning on intangible criteria
- ✓Side-by-side comparison dashboard
Award, contract, perform, repeat
The award decision feeds into AI-generated contracts with terms drawn from your requirements and supplier commitments. Contract terms generate KPI scorecards. Expiry dates trigger re-tender workflows. Every sourcing event makes the next one smarter — your intelligence, requirements, and supplier data compound over time.
- ✓AI-generated contract from requirements + supplier response
- ✓KPI scorecards from evaluation criteria
- ✓Contract expiry alerts and re-tender triggers
- ✓Compounding category intelligence
