THE CLIENT

Who we built this for.

Equalis Group is a cooperative purchasing organisation serving agencies, suppliers, and internal teams. Softobiz is the full-lifecycle partner for KaizenIQ, its central platform bringing procurement workflows into one role-based system with an AI/RAG contract-intelligence layer.

Agencies and suppliers previously juggled manual coordination with limited centralised visibility, dependent on internal teams for information, and the growing network needed a scalable foundation.

THE CHALLENGE

What stood in the way.

CHALLENGE 01

Manual coordination

Agencies, suppliers, and internal teams worked through email and effort, not a platform.

CHALLENGE 02

Contract knowledge locked up

Answering contract questions depended on internal specialists' time.

CHALLENGE 03

A growing network

Members and suppliers kept multiplying; the manual model could not.

WHAT WE BUILT

The solution, piece by piece.

01

A RAG contract chatbot

Natural-language Q&A over contract documentation puts answers where the questions are.

02

AI solicitation drafting

Drafts solicitation content from inputs and business requirements.

03

Targeted outreach

AI identifies prospects and sources relevant contacts.

04

Human-in-the-loop by design

AI assists; business users review, edit, and approve every output.

05

Response evaluation

AI-assisted scoring and evaluation of supplier responses.

06

Full lifecycle ownership

Proactive application-lifecycle management and QA on Next.js, TypeScript, and .NET Core.

THE OUTCOMES

What changed for the client.

One role-based platform

Procurement workflows converged into a single system for every party.

Faster solicitation drafting

AI assistance compressed drafting from days of effort.

Contract answers on demand

The RAG chatbot answers what used to wait on a specialist.

Control retained
