Process

01

Analyze

Map the current workflow across product development, sourcing, suppliers, samples, cost, compliance, and decision-making.

02

Structure

Define the brief format, supplier data, material fields, permissions, workflow rules, and approval process.

03

Deploy

Apply Frank skills to the highest-friction tasks: discovery, validation, onboarding, material creation, costing, compliance, and shortlists.

04

Measure

Track timeline reduction, missing-data reduction, supplier response, material records created, rework reduction, and shortlist quality.

Start with one sourcing workflow

We’ll walk through your sourcing workflow, identify where sourcing coordination slows down and show how Frank AI can help structure briefs, validate supplier data and reduce downstream rework earlier in the process.
