AI purchasing assistant

A purchasing desk run by AI employees: supplier intake, POs, follow-ups, discrepancies — inside your ERP.

Hire the role. We run the AI employee. A named person is accountable.

Purchasing is follow-up. The PO that was never confirmed, the invoice that doesn't match, the supplier who didn't answer — Mesaya staffs the desk with managed AI employees that raise, chase, match and flag inside NetSuite, SAP Business One, Odoo or QuickBooks, under approval thresholds you set. Modani's purchasing department runs twelve agents built this way.

Who it's for, how a role runs, what it costs — from our CEO. Also in Español, Français, Italiano, Português, עברית, Русский and 中文 at mesaya.com/explainer.

The roles hired first

AI employees, each working a real job end to end.

Every role is configured from agents already running in production — never a blank prompt. Each one gets its own service account, limited to the permissions you grant, and works inside the tools you already run.

How it works

Three weeks from a scoping call to an AI employee at work. Then the next role.

Week 1

Discover & scope

A discovery call on your business and its bottlenecks; one role picked for the trial; a scoping call on systems, rules and approvals. Our audit agent reads your email and systems so the history is understood in days, without meetings.

Week 2

Deploy & train

A graduated agent configured for the role, pre-trained with your manager on examples and edge cases. Service accounts, permissions and approval gates set in your own systems.

Week 3 · free

Shadow mode

The agent works; a human approves everything consequential. Every deliverable logged with its approval chain. Outcomes verified at the source.

Month 2+

Earned autonomy

Approvals recede as results prove out; exceptions and samples stay reviewed. Your account manager stays in the loop — and scopes the next role.

Thresholds, not blanket access

Agents act in your ERP — within limits you set.

How control works

Prepare below the limit; approve above it.

Every PO above your threshold waits for a named approver; below it the desk raises, sends and logs.

Approval thresholds by supplier and amount
Supplier-facing communication logged, in your name, from a designated mailbox
Match rules and tolerances set once; exceptions to a person

Twelve agents run Modani's desk from supplier intake to the container on the water.

You stay in control

Trust is earned — then extended.

How control works
  1. 1

    Shadow · week 1 — it drafts, you send.

  2. 2

    Ask first — it proposes, you approve.

  3. 3

    Routine — standard cases handled, exceptions to you.

  4. 4

    Autopilot — it runs; you get the digest.

Pricing

From $400 a month per role — and you only pay for completed work.

Simple as payroll, and a credit is always $1. No licenses, no implementation fee, month to month. Your first week is free.

Your plan
From $400

per month, per role. Each role is priced by its deliverables, so the minimum scales with the role.

Your credits at work
$1 = 1 credit

Every task has a credit price — a lead answered: 2, an invoice chased: 2, a report delivered: 6. Itemized on your log, reported as KPIs, reviewed by you.

Busy month?
Top up

Add credit batches when you need more done. You set a monthly cap; the bill never passes it.

In aggregate, a role lands at a fraction of what the same work costs in payroll. Rates shown are examples; your order sets yours, and outcome pricing is available where results are measurable — collections on dollars recovered, lead response on booked meetings. You see the exact price for your roles on the scoping call.

Proof

We ran it on our own company before offering it to yours.

Customer zero

Modani — 375 agents, seven departments

We founded Modani, a national furniture retailer, in 2007, sold it in 2018, and bought it back in 2024 to rebuild it on AI. Revenue is up 39% year over year with less than 40% of its former workforce. Every Mesaya role was graduated there first, on a live P&L.

Live clients

Clients across industries run these roles

The same roles run for clients in retail, distribution, professional services and hospitality — each inside their own tools, each with a named account manager. A live portal demo is available on request.

Questions we get

Before the scoping call.

Who approves POs?

You set thresholds by supplier and amount. Below them the desk raises and sends; above them a named approver releases. Every PO carries its approval record.

Does it email suppliers as us?

From a mailbox you designate, to scripts you approve, with every message logged. Suppliers see your company and get a human when they ask.

Three-way match?

Nightly. Matched invoices post for payment; mismatches go to a person with the reason attached and the supplier correspondence started.

Works with our ERP?

NetSuite, SAP Business One, Odoo, QuickBooks, Acumatica and most others, through their own service accounts and the permissions you grant.

How many suppliers can it handle?

As many as you have. Capacity is units of work, not headcount; the desk scales by adding units, not people.
