How procurement teams use ChemCapital

Step 01

Create a project and define your needs

Start a procurement project, search or define items, and build a cost estimate before going to market.

Step 02

Find suppliers and send structured RFQs

Discover new suppliers with AI, select from your approved vendor list, and send every supplier the same structured RFQ at once.

Step 03

Review and compare quotations

Quotations arrive in a consistent format. Compare side by side or use AI scoring across five dimensions. Request revisions with comments.

Step 04

Issue a PO and track delivery

Issue a formal purchase order. Suppliers confirm with a reference number and post milestone updates in real time.
