Chemicals sourcing
Source chemicals and equipment on time and under cost.
AI agents handle sourcing and negotiation to bring down cost for your instrumentation, controls, and process equipment BOMs.
12% cost reduction on plant equipment
Improve competition and negotiation to drive down cost.
Bring up plants 60% faster
Select, quote, and execute purchases for equipment in half the time.
85% of purchases on auto-pilot
Issue POs to approved sources for chemical inputs without human intervention.
Bring up and maintain chemical plants faster
Process manufacturers face strict regulatory requirements, vendor lock-in on specialized equipment, and massive BOM scope across greenfield and expansion projects.
Sourcing teams miss millions of dollars in cost savings
Sourcing teams don't have the expertise to select compatible alternate sources that could lower costs, reduce risk, or resolve obsolescence issues.
Sourcing teams lack bandwidth and leverage to negotiate
Purchasers lack leverage to negotiate on price for sole-source items, and lack the bandwidth to negotiate on hundreds of instrumentation and control line items.
Sourcing chemicals domestically is complex
Sourcing teams have to chase down vendors to verify Country of Origin and for COAs, SDS, etc for every chemical they source, causing delays.
Bring plant spend under control from RFQ to PO
Kipo AI helps chemical procurement teams second-source equipment, automate RFQs at BOM scale, and negotiate across the full scope of plant builds.
