Explore the workflow : Bring supplier information into decisionsTurn a request for work equipment into a process people can follow.
Capture the need, seek supplier quotations, and manage the purchase order. Your team evaluates the terms and takes action at each stage.
- 01
Requisition
Create requests with item details and submit them for review.
- 02
Quotation
Add items and suppliers to a quotation, then email quote requests.
- 03
Purchase order
Create purchase orders, approve them, and send them to suppliers.
Reviewing compatible requests together may open a conversation about volume pricing. Grouping demand and negotiating terms remain team decisions; delivery and resource readiness still require follow-up.
AI + RAG: a way to find purchasing context
Spend less effort looking for the purchasing picture.
When a colleague asks about a request or order, start with an everyday question. Supported AI lookups bring purchasing records into chat so your team can review the details and decide what needs attention.
RAG stands for retrieval-augmented generation. eTatua's tool-based approach uses AI to interpret supported questions, calls application services to retrieve records, and returns a structured summary in chat. It is an information lookup, not an autonomous purchasing decision.
Ask about your purchasing work
Look up your requisitions, purchase orders, and quotations using everyday language.
Bring records into the conversation
Supported lookups use application data rather than relying on the model's general knowledge.
Keep decisions with your team
Review the returned details. AI assistance does not replace your purchasing approvals or guarantee correctness.

A few useful answers.
Who is eTatua for?
Growing businesses that want clearer purchasing decisions, more visible resource requests, and less effort following up on procurement work. Finance leaders, business owners, and purchasing teams can evaluate the workflows in a demo.
Can eTatua help us identify bulk-buying opportunities?
Structured purchasing records can give your team context for reviewing recurring needs and discussing volume offers with suppliers. Consolidating demand and negotiating discounts remain team decisions, not automated eTatua features. Any potential saving should account for storage, cash tied up, and waste as well as the quoted price.
Will employees get their tools and supplies on time?
Request and order visibility can help your team follow up on purchasing needs. It does not guarantee delivery or prevent stockouts. Readiness also depends on planning, approvals, available funding, and supplier fulfilment; assess work interruptions and waiting time separately.
Does the system automatically choose the cheapest supplier?
No automatic quote comparison or best-provider selection is claimed. Supplier records and quotation enquiries support your team's evaluation. Compare like-for-like requirements, total delivered cost, quality, and service terms rather than assuming the lowest headline price is the best value.
What can we see in a demo?
Explore supported AI questions about requisitions, purchase orders, and quotations, then walk through the underlying procurement workflows. AI availability depends on deployment configuration and usage limits. You do not need to share confidential business data to start the conversation.
What does RAG mean in eTatua?
RAG means retrieval-augmented generation. eTatua's approach uses AI to identify a supported lookup, retrieves records through application services, and returns a structured summary in chat. It is tool-based retrieval, not an advertised vector database or document-upload search.
Can the AI buy or approve purchases for us?
The AI capabilities presented here focus on retrieving and summarizing records. Chat-based requisition creation and autonomous purchasing are not included in these claims. Use the purchasing workflows for actions and approvals, and verify AI-assisted results before acting.
Does eTatua replace our accounting software?
The workflows presented here focus on procurement. Do not assume accounting, invoice matching, payments, or integrations are included; tell us what you use so we can discuss your requirements.
How much does it cost?
Request a tailored quote. We will discuss your users, the purchasing workflows you need, and any setup requirements before proposing a scope and price.
