What PICO Does

Six jobs, fully automated

PICO handles the repetitive work end-to-end and only escalates what genuinely needs human judgment.

01

AI Request Capture

Understands requests from chat, email, Teams, Slack, forms, and portal — and converts free text into a structured PR.

02

Missing Detail Follow-Up

PICO never sends incomplete requests to procurement. It asks the requestor directly until the PR is complete.

  • Delivery date?
  • Preferred supplier?
  • Estimated budget?
  • New or renewal?
03

Policy & Budget Check

Validates each request against company rules before it ever moves forward.

04

Supplier Recommendation

Suggests the right supplier using past purchases, contracts, price history, and risk status.

Approval Routing

Exception Handling

Highlights only what needs human attention, with the reason attached.

Worked Example

"I need 20 laptops for sales by next month"

Watch one unstructured sentence become a complete, routed purchase request.

Unstructured input

"I need 20 laptops for the sales team by next month."

No budget. No specs. No supplier. No approval path. Just a message in a chat.
