Spendflo

Procurement doesn't slow down because teams lack tools. It slows down when context breaks at every handoff. August at Spendflo closed those gaps — from a question in Slack to a supplier record in the ERP. Here's what we shipped, → Flo AI in Slack: Renewals, spend, invoices, and contract documents, answered in the thread. DMs, channels, and groups. No new tab, no new login. → Flo Agents + contract intelligence: Agents read your attached contracts and surface every renewal change — quantities, unit prices, commercial terms, year-on-year value — before anyone opens the file. → Vendor onboarding to ERP: Questionnaire answers and documents flow into NetSuite or Coupa after approval. One approval trail, no rekeying. → Clone Request: Duplicate a request with the key details carried forward. Pause and Resume lands next, freezing blocked work without losing SLA context. → Role Based Access Control: Clearer permission boundaries across requests, users, agents, and Flo AI. Your team handles judgment. Flo handles the handoffs. Want to see Flo work in your stack? Book a demo. Link in comments.

Team Spendflo is at SSOW in San Diego, Booth 303. Come say hi. We're here through Thursday talking to shared services, AP, finance and procurement leaders about what's actually changing on the ground.

Procurement has spent years building and connecting systems. The data moves. The work doesn't. - Someone still discovers money was left on the table because nobody acted on what was in the contract. - Someone still has to catch the invoice that shouldn't be paid before it gets paid. - Someone still chases tax forms, bank details and compliance documents to get a vendor onboarded. - Someone still finds out about a purchase after it's already been made. That work lives in the gaps. Today, we're launching multi-agent orchestration in Flo. 30+ specialized agents. One shared context. Across Source-to-Pay. Each agent picks up where another left off, carrying the context forward and moving the work to closure. They don't just move data. They move the work forward. Every action is auditable. Every outcome is verifiable. Humans step in wherever judgment belongs. Your systems stay. Your team's capacity expands. This is Flo. The autonomous procurement workforce.

Spendflo is sponsoring SSON Shared Services & Outsourcing Week in San Diego, September 14 to 17. #SSOWeek brings together the shared services and GBS leaders working on the unglamorous parts: transformation fatigue, shaky data foundations, operating models built for a different era. We'll be there to meet shared services, AP, finance and procurement leaders, hear what's changing on the ground, and compare notes on what's actually working. If you're attending, stop by Booth 303 and say hi. Not registered yet?

Most AI in procurement saves time. This one avoids spend. Hours saved are hard to point at. A vendor you never onboarded is a line item that never showed up. September 10 | 10 AM ET / 7 AM PT Kalyan Tripathy, Procurement Engineer at Spendflo, builds a Vendor Evaluation Agent live on screen. You follow along and ship your own before the session ends. Save your seat → https://lnkd.in/gpNDmNBR Let's start building. #procurement #aiprocurement #agenticprocurement

The cheapest tool you'll buy this quarter is the one you're already paying for. September 10 | 10 AM ET / 7 AM PT Kalyan Tripathy, Procurement Engineer at Spendflo, builds a Vendor Evaluation Agent live on screen. You follow along and ship the same agent in your own workspace before the session ends. Ask for a new tool, get back the vendors already in your stack that do the job. Seats are filling up, and we want to see you there!! → https://lnkd.in/gnCAbiKA Let's start building. #procurement #aiprocurement #agenticprocurement

$5B in spend. One lean procurement team. No concept deck. On September 3 in London, at KonnectHouse's Agentic AI in Procurement event, Rajiv Ramanan is running one real enterprise request from intake to renewal - with all the approvals, handoffs, exceptions, and cross-functional complexity that usually comes with it. You'll see → what AI actually handles on its own → where human judgment still has to sit → how a lean team covers far more ground without adding process or headcount Because the real shift isn't AI becoming another tool in your stack. It's AI taking ownership of the work between decisions. If you're figuring out what agentic procurement actually looks like beyond the hype, this is the hour to spend on it.

Four people touched that renewal. None of them negotiated anything. Procurement doesn't fail inside the steps. It stalls in the gaps between them -and every tool you've bought automates a lane, not the space between lanes. Agents close the gaps. They hold context across stages, decide what a request actually needs, and pull a human in only where judgment matters. In our live demo, we'll run one renewal from intake to approval: - extracting intake from a request and a quote, with no form - benchmarking pricing and setting the negotiation range - skipping legal and InfoSec review when nothing material changed - routing the savings delta to the CFO for approval by email The whole request closes before the coffee is ready. Teams running this approach manage $4B+ in spend today. Save your spot. Link in Comments!

Simpplr saved $100K in its first few months with Spendflo. Here's how Krishna Varanasi, VP Business Operations at Simpplr, ran the play. 150 to 200 SaaS applications. Plus a long tail of tools bought ad hoc on credit cards. No two procurement functions look alike, so a templated rollout was never going to work. Spendflo built around how Simpplr actually works — new purchases, renewals, the whole flow — and consolidated the redundant tools out. The result: → $100K saved in the first few months → Spendflo negotiates every renewal — the team just raises a ticket → Hours back in every department → One repository for every agreement → Four-month purchase cycles now show who's holding them, and for how long Procurement stops being a queue and starts being a system.

Nobody hands you a procurement blueprint. The good ones write their own. In this clip from our latest episode of Spendflo Night Live, Aaqil Kassamali, Procurement Director at Vena Solutions, joins Rajiv Ramanan, Co-founder and CPO at Spendflo, to talk about building a function from nothing - no procurement leader above him, no playbook to inherit, nobody pointing at where the value was. So he went and found it himself, partly by reading sales books instead of procurement ones to understand what the other side of the table actually cares about. This episode digs into how procurement functions actually get built inside high-growth tech companies - from centralizing spend data to earning a seat at the table with finance, and where AI genuinely moves the needle versus where the human relationship still wins. 🎧 Listen to the full episode.
