Roles · Procurement department
Time to negotiate, and costed arguments to do it with
Your negotiated prices are only worth what is applied. Zylio agents compare offers on a single grid, check every invoiced line against your agreements and report the discrepancies already costed. You get negotiation time back, and a case that is enforceable against the supplier. You decide: Zylio commits to nothing without your approval.
What the role is up against
You are not controlling 5% of your procurement out of negligence. You control 5% because nobody has the time to do the remaining 95%.
A procurement department is not short of levers: it is short of hours. The four questions below are the ones your own data can already answer, with no additional collection campaign.
- Framework agreement coverage rate
- Price history
- Price variability
- Recovery of supplier credit notes
What procurement hands over to the agents
Each situation has its own page: what is read, what it is checked against, what is reported.
- Prepare your negotiations with dataYou arrive with the history of the prices paid and the discrepancies already costed.
- Prioritise your renegotiation projectsNegotiation time goes first to where the discrepancy is best documented.
- Check that negotiated agreements are appliedA claim that has been investigated and is enforceable, not a hunch.
- Check annual price revisionsA revision applied off schedule, or on the wrong index, is reported with its calculation.
- Check that volume discounts are appliedForgotten volume tiers stop going unnoticed.
- Detect off-contract purchasesYou see how much of the spend escapes the contracts you have signed.
- Compare prices across entitiesThe same reference paid at two prices becomes an agenda item.
- Prove your procurement savingsThe saving announced is attached to the lines that carry it.

On your tools, exactly as they are
We fit around existing processes, we do not replace them. No development added inside the core of the ERP.
What Zylio does not do
Your ERP (the integrated system that holds your purchase orders and your invoices) is not modified, and no supplier relationship moves without you.
- We do not touch the ERP
- We commit to nothing without approval
- We contact no supplier
- Controls
- Personal data
- Use of data
- Traceability
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
What does Zylio base a negotiation argument on?
On your own documents: framework agreement, price list, rate schedule, amendment, then the matching invoice line. The clause and the line are shown side by side, highlighted, with the discrepancy calculation.
Should you renegotiate before checking, or the other way round?
Checking comes first: it says what has not been applied of what you have already negotiated. The diagnostic says what has been lost; the agents stop it happening again.
Which agents should be activated first?
The one that matches your immediate priority. Most often: Compliance, because it directly costs what has been paid in error.
How do I check a Zylio conclusion?
Every discrepancy opens onto its evidence: the contract clause and the invoice line, highlighted side by side, with the calculation shown.
How long before a first result?
The diagnostic produces a figure in three weeks, on your real data and a framed scope.
