Mashfrog Procurement Assistant: your ally to revolutionize procurement

Imagine a more agile, productive, and strategic procurement office. With Mashfrog Procurement Assistant, an innovative solution based on generative artificial intelligence, you can make this vision a reality. Developed by Mashfrog and perfectly integrated with SAP Ariba and your enterprise management systems, the Mashfrog Procurement Assistant helps you simplify procurement management, eliminate operational inefficiencies, and focus on decisions that truly matter.

The intelligent assistant for your procurement process

How much time do you spend searching for information in your enterprise systems? With Mashfrog Procurement Assistant, accessing data and insights is as simple as asking a natural language question.

Thanks to its advanced integration with SAP Ariba, SAP S/4HANA, and external sources like Cerved, the assistant centralizes information, delivering immediate and personalized responses to your needs. This means less time wasted on repetitive tasks and more focus on strategic decisions.

Challenges it solves

Today’s procurement offices face numerous critical issues, including:

• Fragmented data: information is often scattered across different systems, making rapid and comprehensive analysis difficult;
• Lengthy decision-making times: the need to manually gather and verify data unnecessarily prolongs processes;
• Complex onboarding: for new hires, the learning curve is often steep due to the complexity of tools and procedures.

With Mashfrog Procurement Assistant, these challenges become a thing of the past. By automating operational tasks and centralizing data, the assistant boosts productivity and speeds up decision-making processes.

Key features

1. Time savings: automates repetitive tasks and accelerates data retrieval, reducing errors and manual work;
2. Seamless integration: connects in real-time to enterprise tools like SAP Ariba, SAP S/4HANA, and external sources like info providers, ensuring instant access to data;
3. 360° supplier visibility: combines internal and external data to provide comprehensive insights and support strategic decisions;
4. Intuitive interface: enables interaction via text or voice commands, ensuring a smooth and user-friendly experience;
5. Complete customization: the assistant is configurable based on the specific needs of each company, adapting perfectly to internal processes;
6. Generative artificial intelligence: thanks to advanced language models (LLMs), it understands natural language and delivers relevant responses based on available data.

A practical example

Imagine you need to identify all suppliers who invoiced in a specific product category (e.g., “XXX”) in the last year, including their Cerved score and whether they have ISO certification loaded in the qualification process. With Mashfrog Procurement Assistant, you simply ask:
"Show me all suppliers with revenue in category XXX from the last year, including Cerved score and ISO certification."
In seconds, the assistant processes the request and provides a detailed report, saving hours of work required to:

• Download revenue data from the reporting or transactional system;
• Retrieve the score from Cerved's database;
• Check for ISO certifications in SAP Ariba certificate reports.

Thanks to this centralization, the time spent preparing a data set—often fragmented across systems with different access keys—is drastically reduced.

A tailored approach for every client

Mashfrog Procurement Assistant isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution but a highly flexible platform tailored to the specific needs of each company. The questions and functionalities you want the assistant to perform aren’t preloaded into the system. Thanks to generative AI, the tool understands how complex systems like SAP Ariba work and can respond to dynamic requests.

For instance, if you initially need to know suppliers with revenue and ISO certification and later want to know the number of employees for each supplier, you can simply ask for this new information. The assistant will provide the answer without requiring redevelopment or reconfiguration of the system, offering unmatched flexibility compared to traditional solutions.

During the initial phase, our team collaborates with your procurement office to analyze processes and identify areas for improvement. Once implemented, the assistant continuously learns, optimizing its performance.
