The AI Procurement Copilot
Procurement happens in email.
We made the inbox a procurement system.
Connect Gmail or Microsoft 365 in 60 seconds. SalesNext reads your supplier threads, parses every quote, remembers every negotiation, and drafts your next move — or closes the routine RFQs entirely on its own.
- Works with Gmail & Microsoft 365
- 10-minute setup, history backfilled
- Human-in-the-loop by default

The problem we set out to solve
Procurement runs on email. The tools never caught up.
If your buying team lives in their inbox, you already know what is missing.
Your inbox is the procurement system.
Every quote, revision, supplier question, and award decision happens in email. Yet none of it is structured, none of it is searchable, and none of it is learning from itself. The data is there. It is just unreachable.
You are negotiating without memory.
What did Acme charge last quarter? How quickly does Bearings Plus actually deliver? Which suppliers raised prices when no one was looking? The answers live in 14,000 emails nobody has time to read.
The tools you are offered miss the middle.
Legacy suites cost $250k and take six months. Autonomous bot platforms replace the buyer entirely. Spreadsheets cannot scale. Mid-market procurement has been waiting for software built for the way it actually works.
From inbox chaos to clean decisions
Ten minutes to set up. The work starts paying back the same day.
No integration project. No data migration. No supplier change. SalesNext meets your team where they already work.

1
Step one
Connect your inbox.
OAuth into Gmail or Microsoft 365 with scoped, revocable permissions. SalesNext begins backfilling your supplier history immediately — and the first searchable answers land before the coffee.
2
Step two
The Copilot turns on.
A sidebar appears in your inbox. Every supplier email becomes structured, every quote becomes a decision, every counter becomes a one-click action — without your team learning anything new.
What the product does
Seven moments that change how procurement works.
None of this asks your suppliers to change a thing. They keep emailing the way they always have. You stop doing the work that doesn’t need doing.
01
The Inbox Copilot
Every supplier email becomes a structured decision.
A clean sidebar lives next to your Gmail or Outlook. The moment a supplier replies, SalesNext parses the quote, pulls their last three quotes, surfaces your category median, and drafts a counter in your voice. You stay in the inbox you already use.
- Parsed totals, lead time, payment terms — at a glance
- Price history for this supplier, instantly
- Suggested counter with the rationale spelled out
02
Procurement Memory
Your last three years of supplier email, finally searchable.
Ask in plain English. SalesNext indexes every supplier thread, every quote PDF, every revision, and every award decision. Searches resolve in milliseconds and return the structured answer — not a wall of email.
- Natural-language search across years of inbox history
- Auto-built supplier dossiers from your own communication
- Side-by-side timelines of price, lead time, and on-time delivery
03
One-line Sourcing
Source a category in a sentence.
Type a one-line instruction. SalesNext drafts the RFQ, picks the best-fit suppliers from your history, personalizes the outreach per supplier, and sends from your address. Six emails out the door in the time it took to type one.
- AI picks suppliers from your own performance data
- Outreach personalized per supplier — tone, language, prior context
- Sends from your address via secure delegated authentication
04
Autopilot
Close the routine RFQs while you sleep.
Set the bounds — target, ceiling, auto-approve threshold — and SalesNext negotiates round-by-round. Suppliers see normal email from your address. You see a clean summary in the morning. Every action is logged and reversible.
- Bounded negotiation: AI never exceeds the policies you set
- Counters drafted in your voice, sent as real email replies
- Full audit trail of every offer, counter, and decision
05
Decision Rooms
Approvals your CFO will actually open.
When an award needs sign-off, share a clean link. Your approver sees a side-by-side comparison, the AI rationale, savings versus baseline, and supplier risk indicators. They approve from the page or from email. No account, no login.
- Beautiful approval link, no SalesNext account required
- Risk and savings context surfaced where the decision happens
- Magic-link approval works from inside email too
06
Unified Inbox
47 supplier emails. 8 minutes of work.
Your morning triage becomes a control tower. Every supplier email is color-tagged by intent — parsed quote, clarification, revision, low-confidence review — with a recommended action and a one-click reply. The pile becomes a pipeline.
- Intent classifier sorts incoming email automatically
- Low-confidence parses route to review with the original side-by-side
- One-click replies drafted in your voice and tone
07
Market Intelligence
AI that tells you what you didn't know.
SalesNext surfaces the patterns your inbox was hiding. Suppliers raising prices quietly. Categories where you're paying above market. On-time records that no longer match the contract. Every insight comes with the receipts.
- Proactive alerts on price drift, on-time slippage, and term creep
- Benchmarks against anonymized market data across the network
- Every insight links back to the source threads and quotes

The compounding moat
The product gets sharper every email you send.
SalesNext is not a workflow tool you bolt onto procurement. It is a memory layer that turns every supplier interaction into structured, queryable, learnable data — and the longer you use it, the harder it is to imagine working without.
1
Every email becomes structured data
Quotes, revisions, terms, signatures, sentiment, intent — every supplier message becomes a row in your private memory.
2
Memory makes drafts smarter
Each suggested counter-offer references this supplier's history, your team's negotiation style, and market context — not a generic template.
3
Sharper drafts close better
Better counters mean better awards. Cycle time falls. Savings rise. The outcomes feed back into the memory.
4
The flywheel compounds
Month one, the Copilot is helpful. Year one, it is irreplaceable. The data you have built cannot be exported back into your inbox.
Your data, your memory
Memory is per-customer and encrypted at rest. Optional anonymized benchmarks improve everyone’s pricing intelligence — only with your explicit opt-in, and never with identifying detail.
Where SalesNext fits
Built for the gap the market left wide open.
A side-by-side of how the same job gets done in each kind of system.

Methodology
Labor saved = RFQs per year × hours saved per RFQ × loaded hourly rate.
Negotiation savings = RFQs per year × avg spend per RFQ × extra negotiation savings %.
SalesNext cost = team size × Pro seat price ($799/mo) × 12 months. The Performance plan can lower the upfront cost in exchange for a share of documented savings.
Benefits typically grow over time as the memory layer compounds. This view shows a single twelve-month window only.
FAQ
The questions we hear most.
Need a different answer? Tell us in the request form — every response is read by the founders.
- No. Suppliers keep emailing the way they always have. SalesNext sits on your side of the conversation — reading inbound replies, drafting your outbound, and structuring everything in between. The supplier experience is unchanged.
- You decide. During OAuth setup, you scope SalesNext to specific labels or folders (for example: only mail tagged with your suppliers). We never read personal mail. Scope is revocable at any time, from inside Gmail or Microsoft 365.
- On typical supplier PDFs, scanned attachments, and emailed quotes, line-item extraction lands at 92–98% field accuracy. Every parsed value is editable before it commits, and low-confidence parses route to a human review queue with the original side-by-side.
- Not unless you explicitly turn on Autopilot for a specific RFQ and set the bounds. By default, the Copilot drafts; you send. When Autopilot is on, every action is policy-checked, logged, and reversible — and you can pull the plug at any time.
- Two ways. First, your private Procurement Memory accumulates structured history of every supplier, price, and outcome — making each next draft more grounded. Second, with explicit opt-in, you can benchmark against anonymized network medians for your category.
- SalesNextAI processes your data in our infrastructure under a strict no-training-on-customer-data policy. Customer data is encrypted at rest with per-tenant keys, never shared across customers, and never used to train any model that touches anyone else.
- Setup is about 10 minutes. Memory backfill from the past year of supplier emails typically completes within an hour. Most teams see the first proactive insight or AI-drafted counter the same day, and measurable cycle-time improvement inside two weeks.
