Catalyst Family · Intelligent Procurement
Catalyst IP
AI-first, modular procurement intelligence that works with your existing systems.
The problem
Procurement context gets fragmented
Requests, policies, supplier knowledge and decisions often sit across separate workflows. Catalyst IP is being explored as a way to bring more context and intelligence to the decisions between those systems, without requiring organisations to replace them.
The approach
Modular by design. Connected by intent.
The broader product vision is an AI-first procurement layer whose capabilities can be developed and adopted in stages, rather than an all-or-nothing ERP replacement.
Focused modules
A modular scope spanning the procurement journey, with each area developed in stages.
Works alongside systems
Existing ERP, purchase requisition and purchase order systems remain the systems of record.
Decision intelligence
AI and analytics are intended to support human evaluation and governed decisions, not replace accountability.
Broader vision
Across the procurement journey
The intended modular scope includes these areas; this list describes direction, not functionality available today.
- Intake and policy routing
- Supplier management and intelligence
- Sourcing and tendering
- Evaluation and award
- Supplier performance
- Procurement intelligence and analytics
An integration layer and shared platform foundation are intended to connect the modules with existing systems.
Current development focus
Evaluation & Award
The current pilot development focus is Evaluation & Award: exploring how structured evaluation context can support a clearer path to an award decision. This is a development focus, not a claim that pilots are open or the wider platform is built.
The other procurement areas above remain part of the longer-term vision. Catalyst IP is in early development and is not commercially available.
