## Five Pillars ### 01 **Structured RFQ & Intake** Purchaser centralizes purchase requests, routes them to the right buyer, and applies team templates, so every RFQ goes out consistent, complete, and traceable. ### 02 **Vendor Submission Normalization** Purchaser transforms vendor submissions from inconsistent formats into a common evaluation structure, so every bid is compared on equal terms. ### 03 **Technical & Commercial Evaluation** Purchaser separates technical scope review from pricing, because a price is only meaningful when you know exactly what scope it covers. ### 04 **Portfolio Visibility & Control** Purchaser maintains a consistent framework across simultaneous sourcing events, giving you portfolio visibility without manual coordination overhead. ### 05 **Governance & Award Traceability** Purchaser produces a complete audit trail from inquiry through award, not assembled after the fact, but generated automatically at each stage. ## Architecture ### Five layers. Each one builds on the last. These capabilities are sequentially dependent. Purchaser can't normalize vendor submissions without well-defined intake. It can't separate technical from commercial evaluation without normalized data. And you can't produce a defensible audit trail without documented records from each stage. The integrity of your award depends on the integrity of everything that came before it. Ready to see it in action?
