Worldover, AI operating system for substance-based businesses

    Function · Procurement

    If you run procurement,buy against real demand.

    Supplier documents, prices and lead times decide margin and compliance. When they sit beside the formula and the plan, buying stops being a guess.

    Which of these are you?Pick one and we'll show the setup, with procurement already selected.

    Brands

    You own the product, the launch date and the compliance outcome, usually across several contract manufacturers.

    Contract manufacturers

    You make products for other brands, against their briefs, and speed to first sample wins you the work.

    CosmeticsChemicalsSupplements

    Own-product manufacturers

    You develop, make and sell your own portfolio, so R&D, production and commercial are the same P&L.

    Ingredient providers

    You sell ingredients with technical know-how attached: application formulations, samples, SDSs and documentation packs.

    The detail

    Procurement looks differentdepending on what you make.

    Supplier qualification, quoting, purchase orders and buying against real demand.

    What goes wrong today

    • Stock against sales

      Buying decisions are made without a clean view of where goods are made, sold and stored.

    • Supplier documents chased by email

      The same certificates are requested repeatedly because nobody can find the last version.

    Goal: Optimise stock-to-sales ratios and stop losing time to document chasing.

    • One view of what's being made, sold and stored.
    • Supplier documentation requested, extracted and filed automatically.

    Contract manufacturers

    Core fit

    You make products for other brands, against their briefs, and speed to first sample wins you the work.

    What goes wrong today

    • Quoting is brutally complex

      Box A or Box B, Cap A or Cap C, this percentage of the active or that, tube or roll-on. Answering needs a live map of every formulation, component and raw material and what each costs. Most of it is manual, most companies mis-quote, and few know which jobs actually make money.

    • CRM sits outside the workflow

      Generic CRMs aren't designed for manufacturing, so enquiries, samples, formulation work and quoting sit in separate silos.

    • Triangulating customer POs against supplier POs

      Every customer PO is a request to make something, needing specific materials from many suppliers with different catalogues and lead times. Supplier POs get raised one to one, so you buy two 5kg packs of glycerin for two jobs instead of combining them.

    • Customer orders arrive by email without context

      Things get lost, and the ordering pattern that could inform planning is never analysed.

    Goal: A ledger of every item you sell, combinable in any permutation, with pricing kept current enough to quote accurately.

    • A central costing matrix with fixed and variable line items and BOM pricing.
    • A CRM that carries the enquiry through sampling, quoting and signed customer.
    • Aggregated purchase proposals that combine demand across jobs into single supplier orders.
    • Tiered supplier pricing history and supplier scorecards.

    What goes wrong today

    • Buying against uncertain demand

      Reorder points judged by hand, so cash sits in stock or lines stop.

    • Supplier qualification and document collection

      SDSs, CoAs, specifications and certificates chased by email and re-filed by hand.

    • Materials expire

      How much to buy and when matters more in chemicals, because over-buying becomes a write-off.

    Goal: Buy the right quantity at the right time, from qualified suppliers, with the paperwork already on file.

    • Aggregated purchase proposals with AI quantity recommendations across pack sizes, MOQs and shipping rates.
    • Supplier portals and document agents replacing the email chase.
    • Supplier scorecards on on-time delivery and quality.

    Ingredient providers

    Core fit

    You sell ingredients with technical know-how attached: application formulations, samples, SDSs and documentation packs.

    What goes wrong today

    • Supplier qualification is a two-way workstream

      You need every document for what you buy, and every document your customers demand. Manual transfer of regulatory paperwork slows purchasing badly.

    • Quoting from suppliers and to customers

      Multi-supplier RFQs compared across price, MOQ, lead time, incoterms and currency, and keeping that pricing current is enormously time consuming.

    • Supplier performance is tracked badly

      On time, in full and to quality, usually judged on memory.

    • Sustainability data lands here

      Carbon footprint per material, EcoVadis scores, supplier ESG questionnaires and deforestation due diligence, because procurement owns the supplier relationship.

    Goal: Buy well, with pricing, performance and paperwork all in one place.

    • Tiered pricing history per supplier and material, with full history preserved.
    • Supplier scorecarding on delivery and quality.
    • Documents requested, extracted and catalogued automatically against material and supplier.

    Willow finds answers, prepares work and routes decisions using the live operating record. Material actions remain governed by permissions, approvals and audit history.

    • Regulatory horizon scanning
    • Standalone portfolio impact assessment as a regulatory service
    • Chemical registration management or registration submissions
    • Regulatory consultancy
    • Molecule, drug or novel-material discovery
    • Fundamental scientific research tooling
    • A replacement for specialist scientific instruments
    • Uncontrolled or autonomous AI actions in regulated operations
