For fast-growing companies ready to take the leap

Your business scaled.
Did your procurement keep up?

Revenue grew. Markets expanded. Teams multiplied. But behind the scenes — no POs, no contracts, invoices coded by hand, and a procurement team buried in AP work. It's time to close the gap.

Fast growth is exhilarating.
Until the back office breaks.

Invoices without POs

Thousands of invoices a year, every one coded manually. Some with 30+ approval steps. Your AP team is doing procurement's job — because procurement never had the tools.

Every region, a different reality

Country managers, GMs, business units — everyone has their own way. There is no process. There are just habits. And habits don't scale.

Vendor sprawl, zero visibility

Thousands of suppliers. Hundreds onboarded monthly. Zero offboarded. Someone in AP just creates the record and starts paying — no one knows who half of them are.

Patchwork tech — if any

Half-deployed modules. Tools that worked at $200M but buckle at $1B. Legal bought their own AI. Finance runs a different system. Nothing talks to anything.

Policy? Just a suggestion

In fast-growth companies, if there's a policy, it's just a policy. People don't follow it. The company scaled to where it is without one — so why start now?

Procurement as a bottleneck

Instead of driving negotiations, strategy, and risk management — your team is chasing invoices, onboarding vendors by hand, and fighting to get contracts signed after the fact.

Your company runs on AI-first thinking. Why is procurement still stuck in the legacy era?

You wouldn't run your product on decade-old infrastructure. You wouldn't ask engineers to compile code by hand. So why is your procurement team still manually coding invoices and chasing approvals on Slack?

Two CPOs. Rapid growth.
The same breaking point.

The decisive move

Half measures got you here. Only a full reset gets you out.

These companies evaluated best-of-breed. They looked at bolting an intake onto one vendor, CLM onto another, sourcing onto a third. Every time, the complexity killed it.

Multiple implementations. Multiple process maps. Multiple vendors who don't talk to each other. And a procurement team caught in the middle, doing integration work instead of strategic work.

The companies that win make one decision: One platform. Intake to Outcomes. Powered by Agentic AI. Everything under one roof — interconnected, intelligent, and fast.

The patchwork approach
  • Intake vendor + CLM vendor + sourcing tool + P2P system
  • 4 implementations, 4 process maps, 4 vendor relationships
  • Data trapped in silos — no end-to-end visibility
  • 18–24+ month timeline just to get the basics live
  • "Intake" without a back-end is just a pretty form
The I2O approach
  • One platform: Intake → Source → Contract → Procure → Pay
  • Intake designed with the back-end in mind from day one
  • Agentic AI across the entire lifecycle — not just one module
  • 9–12 months from zero to live, even at global scale
  • Your team does strategy. The agents do the rest.

The full picture.
Not just a piece of it.

One platform. One data model. AI agents that work across every stage — not trapped in a single module.

01 — Intake

Guided Buying

AI-driven intake that takes users by the hand. They never see the back-end complexity.

02 — Source

Strategic Sourcing

E-auctions, negotiations, supplier evaluation — driven by agents, decided by humans.

03 — Contract

Contract Lifecycle

Authoring, redlining, compliance — one system, not a side tool someone bought on their own.

04 — Procure

Procure to Pay

POs, approvals, 3-way match. Automation that turns 30-step approvals into zero-touch flows.

05 — Outcomes

Continuous Intelligence

Spend visibility, risk monitoring, fraud detection — agents watching 24/7 so your team doesn't have to.

Your business didn't wait.
Your procurement shouldn't either.

See how fast-growing companies went from zero process to full I2O — in months, not years.
