Meet Your AI Procurement Manager
Glaze is an AI Procurement Manager ("Dona") that works alongside your team to save money and reduce risk. It's like hiring a world-class procurement specialist, on-demand.
Core Capabilities
Glaze's AI procurement manager delivers exceptional value across six key dimensions
Automate the grunt work
Delegates menial and time-consuming tasks to AI. Dona can draft RFQs/RFPs, route purchase approvals, track contract renewals, and chase down documents from suppliers – all the busywork that bogs down teams. This frees human procurement managers to focus on strategic work.
Deliver instant savings insights
Continuously analyzes contracts, invoices, and pricing benchmarks to spot cost-saving opportunities. For example, Dona might flag that you're overpaying 12% on cloud servers compared to market rates, or find volume discounts across divisions. It proactively recommends optimizations and negotiation strategies to cut spend.
Flag supplier risks in real-time
Monitors ESG metrics, financial stability, contract compliance, and even geopolitical news for your suppliers. If a key vendor shows financial stress or a contract clause poses a risk, Glaze alerts the team immediately with an explanation and suggested actions.
Seamless workflow integration
Glaze plugs into your existing tools – no new heavy software. It sits on top of ERP and procurement systems (SAP, Coupa, etc.) and communicates through channels like Slack, email, or a web dashboard. Teams interact with Dona as they would a colleague: ask a question on Slack and get answers or reports in minutes.
Proprietary AI engine
Under the hood, Glaze runs on a custom-built reasoning engine and algorithms honed on procurement data – not a generic LLM wrapper. This domain-specific AI is tailored to understand procurement contracts, pricing nuances, and workflows, giving Glaze a depth of intelligence general AI cannot easily match.
10x cost advantage
Companies get all this at a fraction of the cost of hiring another human. Glaze's AI manager comes at <10% the cost of a full-time procurement manager, yet delivers outsized ROI in savings and efficiency. It's like adding a superstar to your team for the price of an intern.

@Dona Can you analyze our current AWS contract and suggest negotiation points for renewal?
Dona (AI) 10:44 AM
I've analyzed your AWS contract and current usage patterns. Here are my recommendations:
1. You're currently on an On-Demand pricing model, but your usage patterns show consistent workloads. Switching to Reserved Instances could save approximately 12% annually.
2. Your EC2 instances are over-provisioned by about 20% based on utilization metrics. Right-sizing could yield additional 8-10% savings.
3. AWS recently introduced new Savings Plans that would be more favorable than your current terms.
Would you like me to prepare a detailed negotiation strategy document with these points?
Michael 10:46 AM
Yes please! This is exactly what I needed.

"After hiring Dona, a Fortune 500 pilot client identified a 15% savings on an IT software contract within the first week. The procurement lead simply messaged Dona on Slack for a vendor negotiation strategy – and got a data-backed plan in minutes, something that previously took her team weeks of analysis. This is the power of Glaze: immediate, tangible impact."
