Your procurement decisions involve billions of euros. Often without full transparency.
Which negotiations hold untapped bundling potential? What does each restriction cost us, and what do we need to change to achieve a better outcome? How do tariffs change our product costs and our competitive position? Three NAG software solutions answer these questions with your data, before you decide. They combine data science and AI with our negotiation experience from 2,900 projects and €27 billion in negotiation volume per year.

Other AI in procurement saves you time. Ours improves your decisions.
Most procurement tools automate individual tasks: sending out requests, reading documents, sorting data. That is useful, but it barely changes your results. The big money is won or lost earlier, in decisions that today are usually made without hard numbers. That is exactly where our three tools come in.
You see what your own requirements cost
A quota, a capacity limit, a preset supplier. Rules like these often cost more than the next percentage point on price. We calculate the exact amount.
You stay in charge of the decision
Our tools never award contracts on their own and do not negotiate automatically. They provide the basis your team needs to justify its decision, including before the committee.
Built on real negotiation experience
The logic does not come from an off-the-shelf model but from 2,900 NAG projects. That is exactly what a pure software company cannot replicate.
Strategic Negotiation Partner
Look at your negotiations as one overall portfolio. The Strategic Negotiation Partner shows which contract awards belong together and which strategy to take into the room.
- Find bundling potentialThe Strategic Negotiation Partner identifies commercial, timing, category and product-related connections and suggests which ones are worth combining.
- Prepare your strategy instead of improvisingA guided AI sparring partner works with you on targets, anchors, walk-away and arguments. It is based on your real data and on negotiation know-how distilled from 2,900 NAG projects.
- Negotiation know-how you don’t have to build yourselfYou start with the distilled experience of 2,900 NAG negotiation projects. Everything your team develops beyond that stays in the system and is available to everyone.
For lead buyers, category managers, heads of procurement
Smart Allocation & Restriction Analyzer
Every award rule and every restriction has a price. The Smart Allocation & Restriction Analyzer calculates it before you award the contract.
- What your rules costA quota, a capacity limit, a preset supplier: you see in euros what each individual requirement costs your result.
- Scenarios in minutes, not daysChange a rule or a capacity and instantly see how costs, winners and allocation shift.
- A clear agenda before the awardYou know which supplier is worth another conversation and which internal requirement should be put back on the table.
For heads of procurement, CPOs, strategic procurement and award decision-makers
Tariff Impact Navigator
A new tariff affects you and your competitors differently. The Tariff Impact Navigator is not a tariff calculator: it shows who is better positioned after the tariff event and where your procurement needs to act now.
- Your real exposureDown to plant and component level, you see which part of your supply chain actually triggers the tariff. Even if final assembly takes place in an unaffected country.
- A clear view of the competitionAI-powered research maps your competitors’ production sites. You see how the price ranking shifts in the target market.
- What it means for youWhich origin becomes more attractive, where sales can take a more offensive stance and which supplier relationship now needs to be renegotiated.

Let’s talk about your current case.
No standard demo with sample data. Briefly tell us about an upcoming contract award or negotiation, and we’ll take care of the rest: in 45 minutes, we’ll show you the decision basis our software builds from it.

Three standalone solutions that you can use individually. But they interlock: the Tariff Impact Navigator shows what is changing in the market, the Smart Allocation & Restriction Analyzer calculates which award decision pays off, and the Strategic Negotiation Partner takes it into the negotiation. Most customers start with one tool and a specific use case.
Your data remains your data. It is used for your analyses and is not shared with other customers. Before every project, we agree the details of hosting, encryption and data processing in writing, together with your IT and data protection teams.
No. The tools are built for procurement and business teams, not for analysts. You work with the terms you already use: lots, suppliers, volumes, requirements. The computational models run in the background.
Usually from what you already have: bid sheets, supplier lists, negotiation overviews, internal guidelines. A clean data model is not a preliminary project; it is built along with the first use case.
Yes, and that is exactly what sets us apart from pure software vendors. We develop the solutions ourselves and can quickly tailor them to your rules, categories and processes. We clarify up front what remains standard and what is customized.
No. The software does not make decisions and does not close negotiations. It provides the basis for your team to make better decisions and justify them internally. The final step always remains with people.
That depends on the tool, the scope and the number of users. There are license models as well as options in which the software is part of a consulting project. In the demo, we’ll discuss which model fits your case.
45 minutes via video call with one of our data science experts. You briefly describe an upcoming contract award or negotiation, and we demonstrate the software using that situation instead of a generic example. You don’t need to prepare anything.
