Scenarios

Supplier Proposals to Structured Evaluation

Business Requirement → Supplier Proposals in Drive → Gemini-Assisted Summaries → Comparison Criteria in Sheets → Information Gaps → Procurement Review → Shortlist Decision

Participants organise and compare supplier information using consistent criteria while keeping supplier evaluation, negotiation, and final selection under procurement ownership.

Vendor Issue to Coordinated Follow-Up

Vendor Issue → Email Thread → Gemini Summary → Key Commitment & Due Date → Action Tracker → Supplier Follow-Up → Procurement Review → Closure

Participants convert fragmented supplier communication into a structured follow-up process, improving visibility and coordination without allowing AI-generated content to become an unverified commercial commitment.
