For Procurement and Supply Chain teams

More control over deliveries. Less working capital tied up and less stock-out risk.

Activa combines technology with hands-on management of your purchase order follow-up. It connects supplier commitments, stock and consumption to anticipate deviations, prioritize critical materials and help you reduce inventory and emergencies.

Operating since 2023 in a capital-intensive industry
Hundreds of suppliers in the loop, with a current contact and a ranking
Tens of thousands of supplier messages processed

When volume grows, manual follow-up becomes the bottleneck

Issuing the purchase order does not guarantee the delivery. Between the PO and the receipt there are weeks of emails, calls, spreadsheets and WhatsApp. And when the answer comes, it comes late, incomplete, or to a single person.

The buyer chases instead of buying.

A good part of the day goes to asking "how is my delivery coming?" instead of negotiating and planning.

Supply finds out late.

The delay is discovered when the material is missing, not when the supplier rescheduled it.

Stock, consumption and open orders live in different systems.

Nobody sees the full picture of a critical item.

Suppliers are judged by perception.

"Always delivers" or "always fails", with no data behind it and no feedback that changes it.

The outcome is familiar: rush purchases, safety stock bought out of fear, and working capital tied up in what arrived in excess or ahead of time.

How it works

One loop from the ERP to the supplier, and back

Activa integrates flexibly through reports exported from your ERP in Excel or CSV, or via API depending on the agreed scope. Activa runs the follow-up and your people focus on exceptions and decisions.

1

Your ERP hands over the open orders.

You can start with open-orders reports exported in Excel or CSV. We agree on the data and the update frequency according to your operation.

2

Activa decides what to activate.

Rules configured per client, not coded: critical lines, overdue lines, lines about to fall due, lines excluded by ship-to or material type.

3

It contacts each supplier.

Email and WhatsApp with their pending lines, a simple portal to answer in two clicks, reminders on the cadence you define, and direct contact with whoever does not answer.

4

It reads what comes back.

Replies by email, WhatsApp, spreadsheets and delivery tickets. The AI reads and proposes the status; a person approves anything that changes a date or touches a supplier.

5

It returns the status to whoever needs it.

To the buyer and the warehouse in real time, to your procurement portal where applicable, and to the supplier's ranking.

Why Activa

Built for real operations, not for demos

Flexible through configuration, not development.

Statuses, deadlines, calendar, cadences, texts and senders are configured per client. Your activation rules are parameters, not custom code.

It integrates with what you already use.

SAP, JD Edwards, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Infor, TOTVS or any ERP that exports an Excel file; your supplier portal; your mailbox; WhatsApp. You start with what you have and go deeper later.

AI with a person in charge.

The AI reads replies, delivery tickets and spreadsheets in seconds. Nothing that changes a status or touches a supplier is published without human approval.

A full view of the process.

From the order issued to the receipt, through the stock that order protects and the performance of the supplier who delivers it.

Weeks, not months.

Go-live is measured in weeks. The first cycle with your suppliers runs within the first month.

Technology and hands-on management.

Activa combines technology with hands-on management of the follow-up, the communication with suppliers and the support. Your team keeps the decisions and the resolution of exceptions.
