For procurement
Cover every supply line without growing the desk.
No human watches 400 supply lines at 2am. That is not a staffing problem you can hire your way out of, which is why disruption is usually found late, by the person who is good under pressure, with inventory already committed.
Conduit watches them instead. Your agent searches every connected merchant at once, ranks what comes back on what actually decides the order, and keeps alternates warm before a line slips. You see the on-time rate before you pay, not after.
Alternates already ranked
When a supplier slips, the replacements are priced, scored, and payable before you go looking. Not a blank page and a phone call.
Keep the ERP you run
Connector maps vendors, lead times, on-hand stock, and inbound out of WooCommerce, Odoo, Dynamics, SAP or a custom API. You do not migrate, and Odoo is live today.
See it before you pay
Stated against observed delivery, success rate, and on-time rate sit on every offer, so the agent avoids the cheap order it cannot complete.
No fee between you and the merchant
Often cheaper than going direct, with pooled demand unlocking volume pricing over time. Rank is earned by delivering, never bought.
One board for every order
Track every order and intent across protocols with live status, and review, dispute, or hand off to a human at any point.
Frequently asked questions
- How can AI agents buy physical goods?
- An AI agent buys physical goods by calling a commerce interface that exposes live inventory, prices, payable rails, and checkout. Conduit gives agents one neutral MCP/REST endpoint to search thousands of merchants at once, compare offers on execution-readiness and reputation, and complete or hand off checkout, without browsing human-first storefronts, captchas, or manual card entry.
- Is autonomous agent checkout safe, and who holds the money?
- Conduit never holds or delays funds. It is not a marketplace, merchant of record, or money transmitter. Spend stays inside the mandates you set, payment goes directly from the buyer instrument to the merchant, and every order has paths to review, dispute, chargeback, or human takeover.
- Do I have to change my ERP?
- No. Connector reads the stack you already run. You do not migrate.
- Do agent purchases still need human approval?
- Only as much as you want. You set mandates once; within them the agent transacts autonomously. When a merchant requires a human step, or the agent lacks authority, Conduit hands off a ready checkout for a person to finish, and a human can step in at any time.
- How do agents track orders and handle problems?
- Every order and intent lands in one command center with live tracking, stated-vs-observed ETAs, the rail it was paid on, and merchant and product ratings. When something goes wrong, agents can request refunds, file chargebacks, or report the outcome programmatically, and those outcomes feed two-sided reputation.
- What is agentic procurement?
- Agentic procurement is using autonomous agents to handle sourcing and buying (finding suppliers, comparing quotes, negotiating, and placing orders within set policies) across an organization’s supply chain. Conduit is the neutral discovery, reputation, and execution layer those procurement agents can buy through.
- Does Conduit charge fees or take a commission on orders?
- No. There is no per-transaction toll between an agent and a merchant, and ranking is never for sale. Conduit earns only a modest slice of the savings it creates through pooled demand (its GPO), and money never flows through Conduit.
