Unplanned, one-off purchases — the 8–15% of spend that escapes strategic sourcing. Whispor injects a 24-to-72-hour negotiation step between requisition and PO, pulls competing quotes, and closes to a defensible floor. Typical result: 6–14% savings per transaction with no time-to-PO increase.
The moment a requisition clears budget, Auto fans out to 3–5 qualified suppliers, benchmarks quotes, negotiates against a dynamic floor, and closes — all without pulling a procurement manager out of their week.
You set the mandate and the guardrails. Whispor runs it — and shows you every move, every response, every outcome.
Whispor sits between your ERP/requisition system and the PO. Every spot buy above a threshold gets intercepted for a 24–72 hour negotiation window.
3–5 pre-qualified suppliers get the RFQ in parallel — not a sequential bake-off. Responses come in within the window or the request moves forward.
Auto scores quotes against a dynamic floor based on category, volume, and prior spot-buy history. If there's room, Auto negotiates; if there's not, Auto closes.
Winning quote becomes a PO in your ERP. Every transaction shows its first-quote benchmark, its closed price, and the delta — auditable and rollup-able.
What deployments typically look like in the first 90 days.
Turn the spend that bypasses sourcing into spend that's negotiated — without new process friction.
The requisitions you currently wave through because there's no time become a campaign Auto handles in the background.
The PO lands in 72 hours, the same as today — only 6–14% cheaper.
Every spot buy has a first-quote baseline, a closed price, and a delta — for any transaction, at any time.
No. The negotiation window is sized to match or beat current time-to-PO. In most deployments the 24–72 hour window is equal to or shorter than today's cycle — the work happens in parallel rather than sequentially.
Most enterprise teams see 8–15% of total spend in spot buys. If you have more than 20 spot requisitions a month above $5k, the economics make sense in the first quarter.
From your pre-qualified supplier list, scored by past spot-buy performance, current capacity signals, and category-match. You can tighten or widen the fan-out per category.
The request moves to the original PO path with the first quote. Whispor only intercepts when it can add value; it never blocks the business.
Yes. Whispor sits between requisition-approved and PO-created states. Connectors exist for SAP, Oracle, Coupa, Ariba, Zip, and the major requisition systems.
Pick the slice that has the most pressure. We'll help you scope it, deploy Whispor to that slice, and measure the outcome against your own baseline.
