Agentic Procurement

Autonomously handle procurement and inventory: sourcing, ordering, and tracking.

When to use

  • A team needs supplies/parts and wants the buying handled by an agent.
  • You want reorder automation and cost control.

Procedure

  1. Maintain the inventory list with reorder thresholds and preferred suppliers.
  2. When stock drops below threshold, generate a purchase request.
  3. Get approval (human-in-the-loop) before any actual purchase.
  4. Place the order, track delivery, and update inventory.
  5. Log spend and supplier performance.

Pitfalls

  • Never auto-spend without an approval gate.
  • Verify prices and stock before ordering; don't act on stale data.

Verification

  • A purchase only happens with approval, and inventory/spend records stay accurate.
