Intelligent Procurement
Procurement intelligence that thinks like your best people
Source is human-centred AI technology that transforms how mining companies evaluate suppliers and manage tenders. Our AI agents draw on your policies, market data, and team expertise to deliver procurement decisions that are faster, deeper, and fully auditable.
Procurement is broken at scale
Major mining projects involve hundreds of tender packages, thousands of supplier documents, and critical decisions spread across multiple disciplines. Traditional approaches rely on manual review, siloed expertise, and inconsistent evaluation frameworks — leading to missed risks, cost blowouts, and months of delays.

How it works
From raw data to procurement decisions
Your data, fully contextualised
Source ingests tender documents, supplier submissions, cost data, drawings, and specifications. Every document is automatically indexed into knowledge buckets aligned to your project structure — policies, standards, and team expertise are built in from day one.
Virtual experts across every discipline
A library of AI agents — each trained on specific procurement disciplines — evaluates submissions against your frameworks. Technical, commercial, HSE, and compliance assessments run in parallel, applying the same rigour your best people would, at a fraction of the time.
Package comparisons, auto-collated
Source automatically generates side-by-side tender comparisons, highlights key gaps, and scores suppliers against your weighted criteria. Tender cycles that took weeks are compressed to hours — with every assessment traceable and auditable.
From insight to action, seamlessly
Auto-generated reports, recommendation summaries, and clarification letters flow directly to your team. Market intelligence suggests alternative tenderers, forecasts pricing trends, and ensures your decisions are grounded in the latest data.
