BEFORE WE BEGIN

A few straight answers.

Does UpTrade buy autonomously?+

Your people make the accountable purchasing decisions. UpTrade uses AI to structure requests and surface options, then applies configured rules, routes approvals and records the reasoning.

Do we need to replace or connect our ERP?+

No integration is required to start a pilot. Begin with a CSV or Excel export of your catalogue, supplier list and policy. UpTrade provides a structured record for your existing purchase-order process. Deeper integration can be scoped later.

What results should we expect?+

We agree your baseline and success criteria before going live, including request-to-decision time, policy alignment, adoption and record completeness. We do not claim a published average saving.
