Getting Started with Procurement Automation in Complyra

Procurement teams often lose hours to repetitive tasks: retyping product specs, chasing suppliers, and manually building purchase orders. Complyra is built to take that manual work off your plate. Here's how to get started with procurement automation in Complyra.

**1. Submit your request in plain language**

You don't need to fill out a rigid form. Describe what you need to buy — the product, quantity, target market, and any certification requirements — in ordinary language. Complyra turns that plain-language request into structured procurement fields automatically, so nobody has to re-type product, quantity, market, and certification details into a separate system.

**2. Let Complyra parse the requirement**

Once submitted, the request goes through requirement parsing. This step reads what you've written and extracts the specific details procurement needs to act on, removing the need for someone to manually break down the request line by line.

**3. Regulation identification happens automatically**

Complyra identifies the regulations relevant to the product and market you specified. This removes a step that would otherwise require someone to research applicable requirements before sourcing can even begin.

**4. Supplier matching**

Based on the parsed requirement, Complyra matches your request to suppliers, reducing the manual search-and-shortlist work that normally falls on a buyer.

**5. RFQ drafting and supplier outreach**

Complyra drafts the RFQ and handles supplier notifications and reminders, so your team isn't manually writing quote requests or following up with suppliers who haven't responded.

**6. Purchase order creation**

Once a supplier is confirmed, Complyra creates the purchase order, cutting out the manual drafting that usually happens after sourcing is complete.

**7. Export to your ERP**

The final step is exporting the completed purchase order to your ERP system — Complyra supports export to SAP Business One, NetSuite, and Dynamics 365 — so data doesn't need to be manually re-entered downstream.

Together, these steps form an automated procurement workflow that runs from a plain-language request through to an ERP-ready purchase order, without manual re-entry at each stage. For procurement operations teams handling recurring sourcing requests across multiple markets and suppliers, this kind of procurement automation removes the repetitive work that otherwise consumes a buyer's day.
