The product
Connect purchasing needs to informed decisions.
Review what is needed, organise supplier enquiries, and follow orders through approval. Use AI-assisted record lookups to find context along the way.
Make the next purchasing step easier to follow.
A request gives your team a place to review needs. Quotation enquiries support sourcing. Purchase-order approvals provide a review point before sending the order. Your team takes action at each stage.
Requisitions
Make resource needs easier to review and follow up
Give requests for tools, supplies, and services a shared starting point.
Capture what is needed, with item details and quantities, then submit requisitions for review. Keep the request and its current status in the system.

Find purchasing context without starting with a menu search
Use everyday questions to retrieve purchasing records.
eTatua uses AI to interpret supported questions and retrieve records through application services. Get chat summaries of your requisitions, purchase orders, and quotations. This tool-based RAG approach connects the assistant to purchasing data; it is not a promise of document search, autonomous buying, or error-free answers.
- Ask "Show my requisitions" to review returned items and statuses
- Look up your purchase orders with references, suppliers, and statuses
- Retrieve your quotations with item and supplier counts
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.

This website describes the procurement workflows above. If you need budget enforcement, invoice matching, payments, or accounting integrations, raise those requirements in the conversation rather than assuming they are included.
