The Purchasing (Procurement) department spends hours comparing price tables from different vendors. When researching "how to implement AI in management," automating the quote map should be a priority. Linear approval systems rely on the human eye to find the lowest price. **Artificial Intelligence** audits proposals instantly, ensuring the best margin for the company.

### **The Cognitive Price Analyst**

The machine doesn't just pick the lowest number. It reads between the PDF lines (delivery times, warranties, embedded taxes) to determine the true winner.

### **High-Performance Supplies in Jestor**

This is how Jestor acts to protect your cash:

- **Proposal Reading (OCR + AI):** The vendor uploads a non-standard PDF. Jestor's AI sweeps the file, extracts unit values, and inserts them neatly into the quote table.
- **Automatic Ranking:** The system crosses data extracted from 3 competing proposals and creates a visual ranking, highlighting the most profitable option in green for the COO to approve with 1 click.
- **Price Anomaly Detection:** AI consults the relational history. If that supply's price is 20% higher than the 6-month average, it flags the buyer to renegotiate.

### **Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)**

**Can vendors submit prices directly into the system?** Yes. Jestor allows creating External Portals where the vendor types the value, eliminating email attachment exchanges. Meet[Jestor](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

**Does AI approve the purchase alone?** It's recommended to use it as a "Copilot" (Human-in-the-loop). AI does the triage and math, but the purchasing manager gives the final signature.

**Does it integrate with accounts payable?** Immediately. The approved quote becomes the Purchase Order (PO), feeding the financial panel on the same platform.

### **Conclusion**

With **Jestor**, it is possible to automate workflows, connect departments, and create internal systems your way, all code-free and AI-supported.
