Automate the competitive bids your plants still run by hand.
Glidely's RFQ agent runs your three-bids and quote comparisons across the suppliers you already trust, for the MRO parts and direct materials that keep your lines running. Every bid stays on the record, so the plant-level spend no one was watching comes under control.

Just your spend, made legible.
Export your spend from SAP, Oracle, or Coupa. Glidely's AI normalizes part numbers and suppliers across every site, so what used to take a data team months is ready in weeks. No write-back required. CSV in, clarity out.
10 years of messy, site-by-site spend → one clean cross-site view.
One engine, guarded by your own supplier list.
Sunny, Glidely's sourcing agent, works two ways, and never outside the suppliers you have already approved. The three-bid is the core; catalog lookups ride along.
Bid (RFQ) the core · available now
Send a three-bid to the incumbent, a similar approved supplier, and the manufacturer direct. The comparison itself proves the best buy.
Scout (catalog) companion · available now
For standard, catalog-priced items, compare the same part across your approved catalogs and online stores, and pick the lowest. No quote needed.
Because every bid stays inside your approved list, your supplier base shrinks instead of sprawling.
Every bid builds your single source of truth.
Each event adds suppliers, prices, and decisions to one cross-site record that grows stronger over time. Before anything becomes a PO, you can already see who you buy from, at what price, across every plant.
Ariba, Coupa, and Zip orchestrate. The bidding is still done by hand.
Your suite runs intake through payment, and it has sourcing modules for the big events. But the thousands of small, high-frequency bids never make it in. The quote-chasing, the follow-ups, and the comparisons still happen in someone's inbox. That is the layer Glidely runs.
Every approval, every bid, every lowest-cost decision, on the record.
Glidely keeps the approval route, the competitive-bid evidence, and the chosen price as an audit trail that builds itself. Control that does not depend on anyone remembering to document it.
