Procurement Dispatch Agent
AI Agents for Construction Procurement
From BIM Takeoff to Vendor RFQs In Under 90 Minutes.

The Procurement Dispatch Agent is an AI worker that turns construction material requirements into ready-to-send RFQs and dispatches them to the right vendors automatically. It reads quantities from BIM models or project schedules, matches each line item to qualified suppliers, and sends out structured requests for quotation in the format each vendor expects.

Manual RFQ creation is the slowest, most repetitive part of the procurement cycle. Buyers rekey specs from drawings, draft cover notes, choose a handful of vendors from memory, and send — a process that typically takes two to five days per package. The Procurement Dispatch Agent removes the work without removing the control: you set the approved vendor lists, the commercial terms, and the dispatch rules. The agent handles execution, gives you a clean audit trail, and gets quotes back in your inbox while your team focuses on negotiation and strategy.

  • Sourcing cycles cut from days to under 90 minutes.
  • Specs pulled directly from BIM — zero rekeying errors.
  • Every qualified vendor reached, not just the usual three.
  • Audit-ready log of every send, response, and revision.

Frequently Asked questions

Practical answers about how the Procurement Dispatch Agent fits into your sourcing workflow — what it automates, what it leaves to your team, and how it handles non-standard items.

Learn More

Can the Procurement Dispatch Agent handle non-standard items?

Yes. For materials without a pre-mapped vendor list, the agent flags the item and asks the procurement lead to approve a vendor set before sending.

Does it respect our approved vendor list?

Yes. The agent only sends to vendors on your approved list. Adding a new vendor to the list always requires a human approval step.

What file formats does the RFQ go out in?

PDF, Excel, your ERP's native export format, or direct entry into a vendor portal. The agent matches each vendor's preferred channel.

Can we still send manual RFQs alongside the agent?

Yes. The agent runs in parallel with your existing process. Procurement leads can override, supplement, or pause any automated send.

How does it handle confidential pricing or NDAs?

RFQs are sent only to vendors with the appropriate NDAs on file. Confidential project metadata is redacted from the outbound RFQ unless explicitly required.
