Purchasing advice: data and evidence to decide, not one more consulting firm
Zylio does not provide purchasing advice in the sense of a consulting firm: no consultant rewrites your strategy or negotiates on your behalf. What Zylio brings to a purchasing decision is facts drawn from your own documents (prices paid, conditions applied, contract coverage, proven gaps), presented with their source. Buyers decide; the agents do the groundwork.
What we bring
Verifiable facts, drawn from your documents
A purchasing decision is better made with the real history of prices paid than with a market average or a hunch.
Most purchasing advice starts from benchmarks and interviews. We start from what you have already signed and paid. Your contracts, rate cards, price lists and invoices contain the answer to most of the questions a buyer asks before deciding: how much did this reference actually cost, entity by entity? What share of spend goes through a negotiated contract? Which conditions were never applied?
Those answers are quantified, dated and linked to the document that grounds them. They do not replace your judgement; they give it a defensible basis, in front of a supplier, in front of the finance department, in front of a committee.
What we do not do
Three limits, set before we start
No consulting firm
No consultant on assignment at your offices, no purchasing strategy delivered as a slide deck. Zylio is an agent platform: it reads, checks and documents, and stops there.
No negotiating on your behalf
Zylio contacts no supplier, files no claim and blocks no payment. The supplier relationship stays in your hands, with better arguments.
No decision
No recommendation is executed without you. A gap is presented with its evidence; you choose to dispute it, tolerate it or renegotiate. Zylio does the groundwork, you make the call.
The mechanism
Where the findings come from
The Capture agent reads your purchasing documents (contracts, amendments, rate cards, price lists, quotes, orders, deliveries, invoices) and extracts every line. Graph, the knowledge graph layer, links those lines together: the reference to its successive prices, the price to its clause, the clause to its contract, all dated. That repository is what makes it possible to answer a buyer’s question with lines rather than with an estimate.
Insight, the procurement intelligence layer, queries that repository: how a price moved over time, how the same reference is dispersed across entities, what share of spend a contract covers, which negotiated conditions were never applied. Every answer displays the lines that ground it and the document they come from. You can trace the figure back to the page of the PDF.

Three decisions
Three purchasing decisions that data can inform
- 01
Renegotiating a framework contract
The real history of prices paid, line by line, and the conditions never applied become the basis of the next negotiation, not the supplier’s price list.
- 02
Consolidating volumes
The same reference paid at different prices depending on the entity or the site appears in black and white. You decide where to consolidate, and with which argument.
- 03
Disputing an invoice
The invoiced line and the clause it contradicts, side by side, with the source document: a documented claim the supplier can verify for themselves.
What the agents change in a buyer’s daily work.
Where to start
A diagnostic rather than an engagement
The simplest way to judge what this data would bring you is a 3-week diagnostic on your documents. You define a scope (a purchasing category, a supplier, an entity) and you receive a dated, line-by-line finding of what was paid outside your agreements, with every piece of evidence. It is billed on success, on the discrepancies recovered. What it reveals is yours: what comes next is your decision.
Three weeks, on your data, billed on success.
Capture
Gather and consolidate all your procurement data.
Collection by dedicated mailbox, upload, SFTP, scan, API or ERP export. Reads every format (native PDF, scan, photo, spreadsheet, structured feed), then extracts line by line: supplier, references, quantities, unit prices, discounts, taxes, terms.
The end of re-entry. A procurement history you can finally query.
What Capture detects
- Long documents and multi-page tables
- Unknown layouts
- Several languages and currencies
- Poor scans and handwriting
Nothing is lost. Everything can be checked, everything can be proven.
- The contract clause and the invoice line, highlighted side by side.
- Every extracted value stays linked to the exact place in the document where it was read.
- The same case produces the same decision, today as in six months: the rules are applied deterministically.
- No discrepancy is set aside in silence. Anything that matches no rule is raised, with its reason.
- The agent records what it did, in the order it did it: who, what, how much, when.
Frequently asked questions
Is Zylio a purchasing consultancy?
No. Zylio is an AI agent platform that reads your purchasing documents and draws sourced findings from them. No consultant comes on site to rewrite your strategy or your organisation. Decisions remain those of your buyers and your finance department.
Does Zylio negotiate with my suppliers?
Never. Zylio contacts no supplier, sends no claim and touches no payment. It gives you the lines, clauses and documents that ground a credit note request or a renegotiation; you are the one who leads it.
What are the findings based on, if not benchmarks?
On your own contracts, rate cards, price lists, orders and invoices. Every finding (price paid, condition not applied, dispersion across entities) is linked to the lines and the document it comes from. The diagnostic also places your prices in their history, which is often enough to decide.
How do I know whether it is worth it for my scope?
With a 3-week diagnostic on your data, billed on success. You define the scope, we apply the agents to 100% of its lines and you receive a dated finding, evidence by evidence. If the scope does not justify it, we tell you.
