Procurement that protects your money and know-how

Lerveno is a procurement platform with an AI agent. Think of it as a skilled, honest buyer who works 24/7 and costs less than one salary. It prepares the tender, chases suppliers, negotiates down to your target, and never forgets a thing.

Three reasons to choose Lerveno

Secure procurement, real savings, and company memory

We have tested all three on real purchases. Below is exactly how they work, shown with examples rather than promises.

Secure procurement

Suppliers see how bidding unfolds, where they rank, and why they lost. If something is off, they will be the first to say so. Backroom deals become hard to pull off.

What it looks like
  • Approval rules by amount and category, with no workarounds
  • Every change to specs, price, or winner is logged with its author
  • An independent expert checks specs for supplier-tailoring

Savings

Competition drives prices down. The agent brings more suppliers to the table, runs a reverse auction, and presses finalists in negotiation.

A 40-line tender
10 hoursby hand: specs, emails, calls, comparison sheet
1 hourin Lerveno; with the agent, 15 minutes

Knowledge retention

Prices, suppliers, price structures, and negotiation arguments stay in the system. A buyer leaves, the knowledge stays, and the newcomer takes over the category in a day.

What the system remembers
“Mineral fertilizers: 3 years of prices, 27 rated suppliers, index-based price structure, 14 post-bid interviews.”
AI agent

An agent that does a buyer’s job, not one that just answers questions

Most “AI” in procurement is a chat on top of documents. The Lerveno agent acts inside the system: it creates procedures, emails suppliers, makes calls, and runs bidding. Every action stays within your rules.

Procurement agent

The whole platform in a single chat

Tell it what you need in your own words. The agent picks the procurement method, drafts specs and criteria, selects suppliers, launches a tender or auction, and returns a winner recommendation with the math behind it.

  • Chooses the procedure: RFQ, tender, reverse auction, or negotiation
  • Calculates the starting price and total cost of ownership, not just unit price
  • Finds new suppliers beyond your existing base
  • Stops at approvals and waits for a human decision

Agent’s rationaleTechnotrade is 47,000 UAH cheaper over its lifetime calculated thanks to the 3-year warranty. Compulux is cheaper up front but fails the warranty requirement fact.
Supplier chaser

Reminds, calls, and gets suppliers to the auction on time

Tenders are lost not only on price but on turnout: a supplier missed the email, forgot the deadline, or didn’t show up at the start. The agent sends SMS and calls until the supplier submits a bid. Your buyer is freed up, and suppliers appreciate the reminder.

  • SMS N days before the deadline, a call to those who still haven’t bid
  • A reminder before the auction starts and a call M minutes ahead
  • Status page: who received, replied, submitted, showed up
  • Turned on with a single toggle in the procedure settings

Follow-up call Skhidpostach · no answer at 13:30
Negotiation agent

Negotiation as a procurement procedure

Where an auction doesn’t fit, the agent negotiates with each supplier separately: rounds, arguments, a bargaining range. It pushes price, lead times, and payment terms toward your target and escalates to a human when an offer falls outside the limits.

  • A separate negotiation thread with each supplier
  • Market arguments: indices, price structure, competing offers
  • You set the target and walk-away limit; the agent never crosses them

New capabilities

The agent handles small purchases, an expert reviews complex ones

NewTail spend

Hundreds of small requests, no buyer involved

Office supplies, spare parts, and one-off services eat up to half of the team’s time while making up only a few percent of the budget. The agent finds prices, compares offers, negotiates, and closes the request within the limit on its own.

Built-in experts

Independent spec review for a few hundred hryvnias

Invite an industry expert right from the purchase. They check the specification: does it lock the market to a single supplier, are the requirements and tolerances sound. Rate experts and build your own pool of trusted reviewers.

Expert opinion · Pumping equipmentThe requirement “manufacturer: Grundfos only” and an efficiency tolerance of ±0.5% narrow the market to a single distributor. I recommend specifying efficiency class IE3 and a ±2% tolerance: this opens the bid to 5 more suppliers.
Fee per review: 400 to 2,000 UAHrating 4.9
Control

The agent works within your rules

You decide what the agent does on its own, what it proposes, and what it only prepares for a human. Every number in a recommendation has a source.

No made-up numbers

Every number carries its origin. Hover over it, and the system shows the source.

Best bid 52,950 UAH fact
3-year TCO 2,071,000 UAH calculated
Market −3% by year-end assumption
Target price 51,800 UAH human

Autonomy thresholds

The agent can approve a request within a limit but cannot reject it. It can invite a supplier but cannot award a contract. You set the limits for each category and amount.

Audit log with rationale

Every agent action is recorded: what it did, on what data, under which rule, and who confirmed it. Built for auditors, security, and owners.

User permissions, nothing more

The agent acts on behalf of a specific person and with their role. It cannot see or do anything that user is not allowed to.

Platform

One front door for all procurement, from request to receipt

The agent runs on a complete procurement system. You can also use it without the agent, as the everyday workspace of your procurement team.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can the agent make decisions without a human?

Only within the limits you set. For example, it can close a small purchase under the limit or send a reminder. Awarding contracts, going beyond the bargaining limit, and rejecting requests always remain with a human.

How is the Lerveno agent different from a chatbot?

A chatbot answers questions based on documents. The Lerveno agent takes actions in the system: it creates a procedure, emails and calls suppliers, and runs bidding rounds. It logs every action with a rationale.

We already use another procurement system. What about switching?

We migrate your suppliers, templates, and purchase history. For companies switching from another system, the first year is free.

How does Lerveno work with 1C / BAS?

Items, counterparties, budgets, orders, and receipts sync both ways. Our onboarding team sets up the integration in 2–4 weeks.

Does Lerveno work with Prozorro?

Lerveno currently focuses on commercial procurement. A dedicated Prozorro marketplace is on our roadmap.

What happens to our data?

Data is stored in an Azure region in the EU and is never used to train models. Access is role-based, and every action is logged.

Are suppliers willing to talk to an agent?

Yes, most see reminders as helpful. The agent introduces itself on behalf of your company, and a supplier can ask to speak with a human at any time.
