Supplier Portals Are Dead: Why Email-First AI Is the Future of Procurement
Supplier portals fail because they shift the burden onto vendors. Email-first AI agents achieve 100% supplier compliance with zero onboarding.
The Hidden Cost of Manual PO Management
A junior buyer earning $53k/year spends 70% of their time chasing supplier updates—that's $45,000/year in non-strategic labor.
Agentic AI vs. Automation: Understanding the Difference
Automation does the same thing faster. Agentic AI achieves goals autonomously. This distinction defines procurement in 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Sotro
Sotro uses email as the communication layer. Suppliers simply continue sending emails as they always have - to confirm orders, provide updates, send shipping documents. Our AI extracts all the relevant information automatically. Suppliers don't need to log into portals, learn new systems, or change their processes at all.
Sotro extracts structured data from unstructured communications including: order confirmations, delivery dates, shipping information, price quotes, invoice details, change notifications, and more. It works with email body text, PDF attachments, Excel files, and images of documents.
Most companies are up and running in under 5 minutes. Simply connect your email inbox (Microsoft 365 or Gmail), and Sotro immediately starts identifying your suppliers and extracting data from incoming communications. No complex integrations or IT projects required.
Absolutely. Sotro is designed with security as a top priority. Your email data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We only access procurement-related emails based on rules you define, and you maintain full control over what Sotro can see. Our architecture follows enterprise security best practices.
Yes, but it's not required to get started. Sotro provides a standalone dashboard with full visibility immediately. When you're ready, we offer integrations with popular ERP systems including SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and others to sync data bidirectionally.
Sotro flags exceptions and ambiguities automatically. If an order confirmation is missing key details, you'll get an alert. Sotro will draft a follow-up email for you to review and approve before it's sent. The AI learns from your edits, so over time the drafts become more aligned with your communication style.
Unlike traditional platforms that require suppliers to adopt new portals and processes, Sotro meets suppliers where they are - in their email inbox. This means 100% supplier adoption from day one, no change management required, and you start seeing value immediately instead of after a long implementation.
Early access members get full platform access at a discounted rate, direct access to our founding team for feedback and support, and the opportunity to shape the product roadmap. Join the waitlist to learn more and secure your spot.
