🔧 Workflow

Each morning, the system receives the previous day's supplier quotation PDFs and the corresponding historical average price list for procurement categories. The AI agent automatically parses four core fields: price, delivery time, service terms, and supplier qualifications. It then calculates price deviation by querying a market fair-price database and generates an audit report featuring risk ratings (red/yellow/green), explanations for anomalies, and cost-saving recommendations. Before the end of the day, reports are batched and sent to the procurement department's communication group and archived. Processing time per report is under 10 minutes.

🛠 Setup Requirements

Required skills: API integration for local LLMs, PDF document parsing and information extraction, and building a market fair-price database for specific procurement categories. Essential tools include Coze (workflow building platform), Octoparse (for scraping wholesale platform prices), WPS (report templates), and PDF generation components. Building the basic workflow takes 2-4 weeks, with an initial 1-2 weeks dedicated to researching market price ranges and common quotation field standards for target categories (e.g., fasteners, injection-molded parts).

💰 Revenue

① Audit report fees (primary income): SMEs pay per report, ranging from 50-200 RMB/report. At a steady state of 300 reports/month and an average of 70 RMB/report, monthly revenue is ~21,000 RMB (100% of total income, based on merchant claims, independent verification pending); ② Vertical category expansion: Expanding to 2-3 categories can increase volume to 500 reports/month, potentially reaching 35,000 RMB/month (merchant claim, unverified); ③ Long-term monthly subscriptions: Procurement departments pay via monthly subscription models; specific volume and revenue share data are not public; ④ Opportunity-based: Performance-based commissions on cost savings; commission rates and revenue share are undisclosed.

💸 Cost

Fixed costs: Domestic LLM API calls (500-800 RMB/month), Octoparse Professional subscription (299 RMB/month), WPS membership (25 RMB/month). PDF generation components are available for free. Total monthly fixed costs: ~824-1,124 RMB. Variable costs: Minimal, scaling slightly with LLM usage volume; no other significant costs.

⏱ Time Investment

6-8 hours daily: 2 hours for processing new quotes and generating reports, 2 hours for report review and client communication, 2 hours for maintaining the price database and optimizing audit logic, and 2 hours for handling ad-hoc inquiries.

🚀 Getting Started

Step 1: Select one high-demand, standardized procurement category (prioritize items with high SKU counts and price volatility, such as fasteners, injection-molded parts, or packaging materials). Build a base price database by scraping 1 year of market fair prices from platforms like 1688 or Taobao Enterprise Procurement. Step 2: Partner with 3-5 local SME procurement departments, offering 5-10 free compliance audit reports to build a portfolio. The portfolio must clearly highlight cost-saving figures and audit findings. Step 3: Begin charging 50-200 RMB per report, and once monthly volume stabilizes, expand into related upstream and downstream categories.

🔑 Keys to Success

✅ Deepen expertise in a specific vertical category to establish bargaining power
✅ Secure long-term monthly contracts with SME procurement departments for stable volume
✅ Ensure audit logic is explainable: combine deviation algorithms with market fair-price traceability
✅ Include specific cost-saving figures in the portfolio to drive repeat business

⚠️ 风险

⚠️ Limited procurement budgets in SMEs lead to volatile monthly volumes
⚠️ Parsing accuracy drops when supplier quotation formats are inconsistent, requiring manual intervention
⚠️ Large SRM platforms are integrating AI pricing modules, posing a threat of displacement for individual outsourcers
