WORKING MVP

AI purchasing decisions
for distributors.

SMBrion evaluates demand, inventory, supplier, PO, RFQ, and buyer-memory signals to make purchasing decisions at scale.

Routine decisions are handled within policy. Only judgment-heavy exceptions are escalated to the buyer.

HOW IT WORKS

The SMBrion purchasing operating loop

SMBrion does not stop at forecasting or alerts. It makes routine purchasing decisions within policy, escalates when judgment is needed, and keeps monitoring outcomes.

01 · SENSE

Sense

Capture demand, inventory, supplier, PO, RFQ, pricing, and buyer-memory signals.

02 · INVESTIGATE

Investigate

Check coverage, supplier capacity, lead time, pricing, MOQ, open POs, alternates, and policy constraints.

03 · DECIDE

Decide

Choose the best buying path: buy, follow up, switch supplier, open RFQ, prepare PO, or monitor.

04 · EXECUTE

Execute

Handle routine actions within policy. Escalate only exceptions that require buyer judgment or approval.

05 · MONITOR

Monitor

Track whether the decision resolves the exception, whether supplier response changes, or demand moves again.

06 · LEARN

Learn

Use buyer overrides, outcomes, supplier behavior, and policy updates as procurement memory.

In the current browser MVP, SMBrion demonstrates the decision logic and prepares execution-ready actions. Connected pilots can execute approved actions through integrations and customer-defined policies.

ONE EXCEPTION, CLOSED LOOP

Closed-loop purchasing exception

  1. 01
    Demand signal

    Customer needs 75 more 20A Single Pole Breakers next month.

  2. 02
    Supply check

    Current stock and confirmed supply do not fully cover demand.

  3. 03
    Supplier issue

    Graybar can only ship 40 units next week.

  4. 04
    SMBrion decision

    Buy 20 units from Rexel to protect customer demand.

  5. 05
    Execution path

    PO draft, supplier follow-up, or RFQ path is prepared. Routine actions can follow policy.

  6. 06
    Escalate only when needed

    Buyer reviews, overrides, or adds context when the decision is high-impact, uncertain, or outside policy.

Operational data + human context

From exceptions to action, automatically.

SMBrion detects exceptions from your operational data, accepts urgent buyer input when needed, and moves work forward automatically.

Detected from operational data

SMBrion continuously monitors your data and detects exceptions, such as:

  • Inventory shortage
  • Supplier delay
  • Late PO acknowledgment

Urgent buyer update

Add context when a buyer, supplier, or customer update changes the decision.

“Do not use Rexel for urgent Eaton breaker orders this month.”
