Pactum
Let AI automatically negotiate contracts and prices with suppliers, automating one-on-one procurement bargaining at scale
What is this
Pactum is an Estonian autonomous AI negotiation platform that lets AI, on behalf of procurement staff, directly negotiate contract terms and prices with suppliers. The enterprise first sets an acceptable range of terms and strategy, and Pactum can conduct conversational bargaining with large numbers of suppliers simultaneously, making proposals, concessions, and deals within authorized limits, then reports the agreed terms back to the enterprise.
What problem it solves
Procurement teams have limited staff and usually can only focus on a few large suppliers, while long-tail small and medium contracts often don't get individually negotiated, wasting potential savings. Pactum automates these worth-negotiating-but-no-staff-to-negotiate deals, giving every contract a chance to be renegotiated and unlocking hidden savings. It suits large enterprise procurement and supply-chain departments with many suppliers that need bargaining at scale. When adopting, enterprises still need to clearly define negotiation boundaries and strategy, handing the business judgment to the system to execute rather than letting go entirely.

FAQ

Especially long-tail supplier contracts that are numerous, medium in value, and previously not individually negotiated due to staffing shortages.
