For Procurement & Supply Chain

Your supply chain savings,
algorithmically surfaced.

SourceOptima reads your engineering drawings and purchase history, classifies every part by manufacturing profile, then algorithmically identifies negotiation leverage, sole-source risks, consolidation wins, and quick-switch opportunities - ranked by dollar impact.

What the platform surfaces

Four views. One purchasing intelligence layer.

Every view in the demo is driven by AI-extracted engineering data crossed with your purchase history. Here's what each reveals.

📊

Opportunities

Savings ranked by dollar impact. Each opportunity includes the data pack you need for the supplier conversation.

  • Negotiation leverage from price benchmarking
  • Sole-source risk quantified by spend exposed
  • Consolidation across similar manufacturing profiles
  • Quick-win supplier switches with known alternatives
🕸

Network

Your entire supply base as an interactive force graph. Fragmentation, concentration, and dependency - visible at a glance.

  • Part families color-coded by manufacturing process
  • Node size reflects spend volume
  • Click to drill into family → supplier relationships
  • Spot tail-spend suppliers and consolidation targets
🏭

Families

Parts grouped by what they actually need - process, material, tolerance, size. Manufacturing taxonomy replaces org-chart categories.

  • Sortable by spend, part count, supplier count
  • Reveals fragmentation within each family
  • Identifies where volume leverage is untapped
  • Per-family spend breakdown by vendor
🏢

Suppliers

Capability profiles built from what each vendor has actually delivered - not what their brochure claims.

  • Total spend and part count per supplier
  • Manufacturing profile coverage (process × material)
  • Concentration risk - how much depends on one source
  • Tail-spend visibility across the supply base
The problem

Procurement is organized by org chart.
Manufacturing is organized by capability.

The result: redundant suppliers, unexploited volume leverage, and no way to answer “who in our supply base can actually make this?”

Symptom

Same part, three prices

A 5-axis titanium component bought in Oregon at $420. A near-identical part bought in Czechia at $1,260. Different suppliers. No one knows.

Symptom

Suppliers who outsource quietly

Self-reported capability sheets say one thing. Delivery records tell another. Suppliers who broker work they can't fulfill in-house are a quality and IP risk.

Symptom

Categories drawn around acquisitions

M&A leaves you with PLM systems that don't talk, part numbers that overlap, and category lines drawn by who acquired whom - not by what gets made.

Symptom

Sourcing decisions without engineering context

Purchase history tells you what you bought. Drawings tell you what you actually needed. The combination is where the leverage lives.

How it works

From drawings to savings - in 30 days.

Five steps. No IT project. No organizational change. The output is the demo above - running on your data.

01

Ingest

Drop in your drawing archive as-is - ZIP, RAR, nested folders. We handle 100K+ files without IT involvement.

02

Extract

AI reads each drawing - process, material, tolerance, geometry, GD&T, threads - into structured engineering data.

03

Classify

Every part lands on a manufacturing taxonomy: process → complexity → size → material → tolerance band.

04

Cross-reference

Structured profiles matched against purchase history. Price benchmarks, sole-source flags, and consolidation candidates surface automatically.

05

Deliver

An interactive procurement intelligence layer - like the demo above - plus per-stakeholder workbooks ranked by dollar impact.

Case study

What it looked like in production.

Anonymized - global manufacturer, mechanical / machined engineered components category.

Phase 1 · 30 days

Hundreds of thousands of files ingested

Multi-hundred-GB drawing repository · tens of thousands of part folders. No human reviewed any of it. The platform did.

Phase 1 · 30 days

Hundreds of millions reconciled

Cross-referenced against ERP line items. ~50% matched on first pass; coverage grows as namespace gaps close.

Discovery

98.7% engineering / 0% procurement

An entire site's engineering drawings had zero procurement records anywhere in the company. Hundreds of unique part numbers, invisible without cross-reference.

Deliverable

Per-stakeholder workbooks

Hundreds of missing items for the drawings team to locate. Dozens of orphan parts for the procurement SME to add. One workbook per person, ranked by impact.

The outcome

What it actually delivered.

New suppliers required to capture it

Same-profile parts identified across sites at 2–5× cost spread. Recoverable through supplier-to-supplier shift within the existing supply base - no requalification, no contract renegotiation, no organizational change.

What we need from you

Value first.
Integrations when you're ready.

The first round of value comes from data your team already exports every month - no IT project, no organizational restructuring, no new suppliers to qualify. ERP, PLM, and supplier-system integrations are a path to deeper value once the platform is producing, but they're never a prerequisite to getting started.

  • Drawing archives - ZIP / RAR / 7z trees as-is from PLM. We handle nested extraction.
  • Purchase history export - part number, supplier, unit cost, site, spend. One Excel or CSV.
  • 30 minutes / phase - one subject-matter expert on a per-phase alignment call.

Where integrations unlock more value (later, on your timeline):

  • ERP (SAP, Oracle, etc.) - real-time spend reconciliation and live supplier flow-through.
  • PLM (Teamcenter, Windchill, Aras) - automated revision deltas and ECO impact tracking.
  • Supplier portals - direct quote-to-order flow on consolidated parts.

Roadmap

This is the first module of a purchasing suite.

Supply chain intelligence is the foundation. Next: automated RFQ generation and a vendor-facing collaboration portal.

Supply Chain Intelligence

Savings identification, network visualization, manufacturing taxonomy, supplier profiling. Live now - try the demo above.

AvailableLive in production

Automated RFQ

AI-generated requests for quote with full engineering context - material, process, tolerances, volume - sent to pre-qualified suppliers.

Coming nextBuilds on taxonomy + supplier profiles

Vendor Portal

Supplier-facing collaboration layer. Quote responses, capacity signaling, and delivery tracking - integrated back into your intelligence layer.
