Procurement by chat

Smart Procurement

One button on the marketplace turns procurement into a conversation. Instead of searching item by item, comparing vendors and adding things to cart yourself, just describe what you need in plain language — the AI assistant searches the catalogue, compares vendors on price and lead time, and assembles a ready-to-checkout cart for you to approve.

  • Describe your whole order in plain language
  • AI searches the entire catalogue for you
  • Compares vendors on price & lead time
  • Builds a ready-to-checkout cart automatically
Smart Procurement — describe it, the AI buys itIllustrative example

Drop it, source it

Rapidsource

Procurement rarely starts with a clean part number — it starts with a photo, a spec sheet, a messy Excel list or a screenshot. Rapidsource takes whatever you drop in, uses AI to identify the item (or every item, if it's a list), then auto-blasts a request for quotation to a matched network of suppliers — so quotes start coming back without you typing a single SKU.

  • Drop photos, images, Excel, PDFs or screenshots
  • AI identifies the item — or the whole list
  • Auto-blasts an RFQ to matched suppliers
  • Quotes come back without manual sourcing

RFQ Management

Sending a request for quotation usually means scattered emails and no idea who has replied. RFQ Management puts every RFQ on one dashboard: open a new request in a couple of clicks, then watch quotes land from each vendor in real time — unit price, lead time and whether they meet your target — and award the cheapest straight to cart. RFQs you raise by hand and the ones Rapidsource auto-blasts from a photo, Excel or screenshot all flow into the same place, so nothing slips through the cracks and progress is always visible.

Talk to vendors, not at them

Vendor Interaction

Procurement shouldn't mean guessing whether a price is final or chasing vendors over scattered emails and WhatsApp. On Lapasar you ask for a discount on any item with your own target price, then watch the vendor respond right there — and when you need to talk it through, you chat with them directly on the platform. Every offer, counter-offer and message lives in one transparent thread, so buyers and vendors have complete, on-the-record access to the whole conversation.

  • Ask any vendor for a discount with your target price
  • Monitor vendor responses in real time
  • Chat directly with vendors on the platform
  • Every negotiation in one transparent thread

Savings on every cart

Smart Suggestions

Most carts quietly overpay because no one checks whether a cheaper equivalent exists. Smart Suggestions does that for you: as soon as an item lands in your cart, Lapasar automatically surfaces lower-priced marketplace alternatives beside it — each showing exactly how much you'd save — so you can swap to the cheaper pick in a single click. It turns every line item into a savings touchpoint without any extra searching.

  • Cheaper alternatives appear the moment you add to cart
  • See the exact saving on every suggestion
  • Swap to a lower-priced equivalent in one click
  • Every line item becomes a savings touchpoint

Savings Reports

Savings only count if you can prove them, so Lapasar gives you three reports. Missed Opportunities vs Savings shows whether each order actually took the cheapest option available. Savings Against Budget is a live dashboard of spend versus your allocated budget, so any deficit is obvious at a glance. And Savings vs Historical Prices lets you upload what you used to pay elsewhere — the system auto-matches every row to the nearest Lapasar product and tells you whether you're now saving. Together they turn procurement savings into numbers you can take to finance.

  • Missed opportunities vs savings on every order
  • Live savings-against-budget dashboard with deficits
  • Upload past prices — auto-matched to Lapasar products
  • Savings you can report straight to finance
  • Price Request Savings: negotiated opportunities reported separately from purchases that actually used the agreed offer
  • Purchase-time savings evidence preserved, so past decisions are not judged against today's prices
  • Unavailable or incomplete comparisons shown separately from supported savings

Contracted Catalog

Big buyers earn better prices — but only if those prices actually reach the people placing orders. With a Contracted Catalog you negotiate consolidated contracts once, lock the agreed prices in for a defined period, and publish them to your whole organization. Every user then sees and buys at your contracted rate from your preferred seller — private pricing that only your team enjoys, applied automatically at the point of purchase.

  • Negotiate consolidated contracts with locked-in prices
  • Prices fixed for the agreed contract period
  • Rolled out to every user in your organization

Reports on demand

Dynamic Reporting

Procurement teams shouldn't have to wait on a data analyst to answer a simple question. Dynamic Reporting lets you build hundreds of report permutations yourself — group spend by department, cost centre, requester, category or supplier, pick any chart type, and save the result as a template the whole team can reuse. And when you'd rather not build anything, just ask your data a question in plain English — "which category of spend is highest?" — and the AI turns it into a chart and a short summary from your live data, always respecting each user's role and access.

  • Hundreds of report permutations from reusable templates
  • Detailed spend analysis by department, cost centre, category or supplier
  • Ask your data in plain English — AI builds the chart
  • Every answer respects role, department and access
  • Reports limited to each user's authorised company, department or purchase scope, rechecked when schedules run or recipients change
  • Scheduled daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly reports on Malaysia-time periods
  • Historical report archive: download the original exported file
  • Supplier order-performance, fulfilment, approval-cycle, PR audit-trail and policy-exception templates
  • Drill down from grouped summaries to order and line-item evidence

Control in your hands

Procurement Policies

Real control means buyers can only do what policy allows. Procurement Policies put that power in your hands: cap spend per item or per order, block entire categories or specific sub-categories so they never appear in the marketplace, and lock chosen categories to preferred vendors so users see only approved suppliers there. Apply each rule company-wide or scope it to a cost centre, role or individual — the guardrails are yours to set.

  • Spend caps per item and per order
  • Block any category or sub-category outright
  • Preferred vendors — users see only approved suppliers
  • Scope every rule to company, cost centre, role or user

Powerful controls

Approval Workflows

Powerful workflows mean powerful controls. Set any permutation of approval routing you can imagine: a single sign-off for small buys, or multiple layers that escalate as the amount climbs. Add either/or logic so any one of several approvers can clear a request, set limits of authority that route larger spend to senior approvers automatically, and scope every rule to specific cost centres, locations or GL codes. As flexible as it gets — so nothing slips through and nothing stalls.

  • Single-layer or multi-layer routing — any depth
  • Either/or logic: any one of several approvers can clear it
  • Limits of authority route larger spend to senior approvers
  • Scope rules by cost centre, location or GL code
  • Unit-price exception approval for items that breach configured unit-price rules
  • Temporary workflow assignments with the original assignee and reversion time recorded
  • Bulk approval of eligible requests, with each request's permission checks retained
Stop overspend

Budget Controls

Set a budget for any time period — monthly, quarterly or annual — and for any variation of your organisation: by location, branch, cost centre or GL code. Every order is tracked against its budget in real time, teams are warned as they approach a limit, and any request that would breach it is flagged or hard-blocked before it's placed. Overspending stops being something you discover after the fact.

  • Budgets for any period — monthly, quarterly or annual
  • Break down by location, branch, cost centre or GL code
  • Live spend tracking against every budget
  • Over-budget orders flagged or hard-blocked
  • Recurring monthly and quarterly allowances with budget consumption history
  • Split supported purchases across cost centres without changing the commercial terms
Never overpay

Three-Way Matching

The system reconciles the purchase order, the goods-received note and the supplier invoice automatically. Quantities and prices that line up pass straight through; anything that doesn't — a short delivery, an over-billed line, a charge that was never ordered — is flagged for review. So you never overpay, and never settle for items that never arrived.

  • Auto-reconciles PO, goods received and invoice
  • Flags any quantity or price mismatch
  • Catches over-billing and phantom charges
  • Pay only for what was actually delivered
Approve with full context

AI Insights for Approvers

When an approval lands, the approver shouldn't have to dig for context. AI assembles a single-glance brief on every request: it detects orders that were split to slip under an approval limit, surfaces unusual or out-of-pattern behaviour, shows the remaining budget the spend draws against, and confirms whether the buyer chose the best available deal on price, vendor and lead time. Everything an approver needs to sign off with confidence — or push back — in seconds.

  • Purchase-fragmentation detection: flags requests split into smaller orders to stay under per-request approval limits
  • Flags unusual or out-of-pattern behaviour
  • Shows the remaining budget the spend draws against
  • Confirms whether the buyer chose the best deal

GL codes, automatically

AI GL Code Detection

General-ledger coding is usually a manual, error-prone chore that finance reconciles long after the money is spent. Lapasar reads every item in the cart and automatically matches it to your organisation's own GL codes, so each line is correctly coded the moment it's bought. The result is super-accurate GL-level spend analysis your finance team can trust — without anyone hand-coding a single line.

  • Reads every item in the cart automatically
  • Matches each line to your own GL codes
  • No manual coding for buyers or finance
  • Super-accurate GL-level spend analysis
Pay only when it arrives

Order Tracking & GRN

Every order is tracked in detail from checkout to delivery, ending in a goods-received note (GRN) that confirms exactly what arrived. That GRN is also your protection: buyers are only billed and only pay Lapasar once the GRN is completed — so you never pay for goods that haven't been received in full. No paying upfront, no chasing credits for short deliveries.

Completing the GRN also rewards the buyer: every confirmed delivery earns loyalty points, which buyers collect and track over time straight from the order — so each completed GRN both releases payment and adds to your rewards.

  • Detailed order status tracking end to end
  • Goods-received note confirms exactly what arrived
  • Collect & track loyalty points when the GRN is completed
  • Billed and paid only once the GRN is complete
  • GRN-gated payment is your built-in protection
  • Partial receiving: record goods in stages and keep the outstanding balance
  • Guest receiving captures evidence from the person accepting delivery without making them a company member
Admin by chat

AI Configuration Assistant

Admin configuration usually means clicking through endless settings screens. Lapasar gives buyer admins a chat interface instead: just ask. Add a cost centre, onboard users, change an approval workflow, set or adjust a budget — describe it in plain language and the AI assistant carries it out. Anything a buyer admin needs to do, it can do through conversation, so configuring the platform is as fast as typing a sentence.

  • Configure the whole platform in natural language
  • Add cost centres, users and budgets by prompt
  • Change approval workflows just by asking
  • Everything a buyer admin can do — via chat
Inside your ERP

ERP Integration

Keep your existing procurement system at the centre of purchasing. Where cXML or OCI PunchOut is configured, buyers open the Lapasar catalogue from their system, build a cart and return it to their existing approval and purchase-order workflow. Connections with Coupa, SAP Ariba, Oracle, GEP SMART, Zycus, Ivalua, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and SAP S/4HANA are scoped with your IT team; the integration method and document flows depend on your configuration.

  • Coupa, SAP Ariba, Oracle, GEP SMART, Zycus, Ivalua, Dynamics 365 and SAP S/4HANA
  • Punch out from your ERP into the Lapasar catalogue
  • Cart flows straight back into your procurement system
  • Orders, approvals & invoices stay in your existing tools

Negotiation that keeps working

AI Negotiator

Most purchases never get negotiated because nobody has time to chase every supplier. The AI Negotiator approaches eligible suppliers for better prices on your behalf. Suppliers can accept, counter or decline; negotiation runs in controlled rounds under acceptance rules, and supplier response history informs how it negotiates next time. Qualifying accepted price reductions then become available in the purchasing experience.

It is automated, policy-controlled negotiation, not open-ended authority to agree any terms. Availability and rules depend on how your company is configured.

  • Approaches eligible suppliers for better prices automatically
  • Supplier accept, counteroffer and decline handling
  • Controlled negotiation rounds and acceptance rules
  • Qualifying accepted reductions surface when buyers purchase

Know where to negotiate

Contract Opportunity Identification

Before you can negotiate a contract you need to know which spend deserves one. Contract Opportunity Identification reads your actual purchasing history and highlights recurring and high-volume purchases that may benefit from consolidated supplier agreements, so procurement starts from a prioritised shortlist instead of a spreadsheet. It complements the Contracted Catalog, which distributes prices once an agreement exists.

Quotes into strategy

AI-Assisted Sourcing Evaluation

A stack of quotations is only half a sourcing decision. Sourcing reports include AI-generated negotiation suggestions, pointing to competing quotations, warranty terms or delivery lead times you can use as negotiation points. The recommendations are decision support for your team, not an automatic supplier award.

Personal Price Intelligence

Repeat buyers often keep paying the price they paid last time. Personal Price Intelligence identifies qualifying reductions and cheaper offers for products the purchaser previously bought, lets them save offers, and brings relevant reminders into the next purchase. Comparisons are of comparable item prices; shipping and current eligibility still apply.

  • Qualifying reductions on previously bought products

Evidence for oversight

Purchasing Concentration Review

Concentration review highlights where a purchaser repeatedly buys a category from the same supplier. It uses the supplier that actually fulfilled each purchase, not just the product's current supplier, and needs enough observations before it flags a pattern. It is an evidence-based review signal, not proof of favouritism, fraud or misconduct.

  • Concentration by purchaser and product category
  • Based on the supplier that actually fulfilled the purchase
  • Minimum observations before a pattern is flagged
  • A review signal, not a finding of misconduct

Smart Buy Again lets buyers select items they bought before, adjust quantities, check current offers and review alternatives before adding them to the cart, and resume the workspace from Co-Pilot conversation history.

Suppliers that can reach the site

Delivery-Aware Procurement

Choosing a supplier that cannot serve the receiving site wastes time. Delivery-aware procurement checks supplier coverage and shipping estimates against the intended destination, using company locations and saved delivery addresses through the purchasing journey. Ask for a current demonstration of the location experience during evaluation.

  • Supplier coverage checked against the destination
  • Shipping estimates for the receiving site
  • Company locations and saved addresses reused

Procurement Lead-Time Analytics

Lead-time analytics show the recorded dates across the order lifecycle and the time between stages, reporting both average and median durations. Transaction detail and a summary export to Excel, and missing dates are shown as unavailable evidence rather than counted as zero days.

V6 governance, on real screens

Prevent, approve, monitor, prove value: 18 controls and reports inside the features above

The V6 governance deck groups these controls into four layers. They are parts of the documented capabilities on this page, not additional features, and each organisation sets its own limits, workflows and approvers.

01

Prevent

Stops non-compliant orders at the cart.

  • Unit price limit with justification

    Lines above your unit price limit are flagged; checkout stays locked until the buyer writes a business case, and the line goes to a named approver.

    Related capability
  • Cost centre budget check

    Each cart is checked live against the remaining budget of the cost centre it is charged to, and the exact overrun is shown. Only admins can change budgets.

    Related capability
  • Maximum order value cap

    Orders above the maximum order value you set are refused outright.

    Related capability
  • Workflow coverage check

    Every order must fall inside an approval workflow set for its cost centre and amount; if none covers it, it cannot proceed.

    Related capability
  • Mandatory cost centre and location

    Every order is tied to an authorised delivery location, a cost centre and a visible approval route before submission.

    Related capability
02

Approve

Routes every order to named approvers, with evidence.

  • Multi-layer approval workflow

    Layers and named approvers per cost centre and amount range; each decision is recorded with name, date and time, and reminders chase pending approvals.

    Related capability
  • Automatic unit price approver

    Where a unit price limit is set, lines above it add the unit price approver as an extra layer automatically.

    Related capability
  • AI split-order detection AI

    When an approver opens a pre-order, AI Insight checks it against the buyer's recent orders, budget, price and limits, and flags likely order-splitting.

    Related capability
  • Cheaper-option check

    Each line is benchmarked against equivalent marketplace offers before checkout; when none exists, the cart says so, and approvers see the same verdict.

    Related capability
  • Reason required to reject

    Approvers can approve with optional notes, but a reason is required to reject.

    Related capability
03

Monitor

Gives management a live view of spend and activity.

  • Budget utilisation

    Allocated, consumed and remaining budget for the year, drilling from user to location, cost centre and GL.

    Related capability
  • User access and activity

    Status, role and last login for every member by day, week or month, with CSV export; never-signed-in accounts are flagged for review.

  • User audit trail

    Every action by every member across marketplace and portal, filterable by member, date, area, result or PO, with before/after values and rule blocks; visible to procurement admins and exportable to CSV.

  • Email audit trail

    Every system email logged and viewable as sent, searchable by recipient, status and type. Approval links expire in 7 days; goods receipt links are single-use and expire in 24 hours.

04

Prove value

Shows the savings, order by order.

  • Savings against budget

    Allocated, spent, remaining and utilisation by cost centre, location or GL code, exportable to PDF or Excel. One of five savings report lenses.

    Related capability
  • Missed opportunities vs savings

    On comparable purchases, records whether the buyer chose the cheapest eligible offer, order by order and user by user.

    Related capability
  • Price request savings

    Compares the original price with what was actually paid after an in-platform discount request; only verified purchases count.

    Related capability
  • Historical purchase prices

    Past purchase prices kept for comparison and review.

    Related capability
Unit price limit: the flagged line needs a written justification and a named approver before checkout. Real V6 screen; example values; personal and vendor details masked.
User audit trail: who did what and when, filterable and exportable to CSV, with Completed, Attempted or Stopped status. Real V6 screen; example values; personal and vendor details masked.

Built, ready to switch on per company

Available in V6 today and switched on when management decides. Not on by default.

  • Category and brand control

    Block categories or brands for a member, role, cost centre, location, department or the whole company; exceptions go through a formal unblock request, on record.

  • Approved brand standards

    Allow only chosen brands in a category; non-approved items are hidden from the marketplace, can cascade to subcategories and can differ by cost centre.

  • Supplier price visibility

    Choose lowest only, three cheapest, all options, or all offers visible with only the cheapest eligible offer selectable. This is a selection rule within your marketplace offers, not a guarantee of the lowest price in the wider market.

  • Goods receipt on delivery-order scan

    Scan the delivery order, then record Good, Partial or Rejected, so you can choose to pay only for goods accepted on arrival.

  • Required document upload

    Require a PO or quotation on every request.

  • Restrict delivery to saved locations

    Prevent goods being sent to unauthorised or personal addresses.

  • Show blocked items with unblock request

    Blocked items stay visible with a request route, so exceptions are reviewed instead of worked around.

  • Morning price brief

    A 7:00 am brief on overnight price drops.

  • Personal spending limits

    A personal cap per buyer, inside cost centre budgets.

Limits, workflows and Part B options are agreed with each organisation; example values shown on screens are not defaults.

Quick answers

B2B procurement software in Malaysia, answered

Lapasar's B2B procurement software gives Malaysian businesses AI-assisted spend categorisation, reverse bidding, RFQ automation, approval workflows, budget controls and three-way matching in one platform — free forever for unlimited users, backed by a marketplace of verified suppliers, a sourcing team and optional fulfilment across Peninsular Malaysia.

What audit trail does Lapasar's procurement software keep?
A user audit trail of every member action with Completed, Attempted or Stopped status and before/after values (filterable and exportable to CSV), an approval record with each approval layer time-stamped and any justification recorded, and an email audit trail of approval and goods receipt reminders as sent.
How does Lapasar's AI detect purchase splitting?
AI Insights for Approvers reviews the requester's recent orders, budget, price and limits when an approver opens a pending order, and flags likely order-splitting when the same item appears across orders that together exceed the per-order limit. The approver still decides, and a reason is required to reject.
Does Lapasar support eRFQ, reverse bidding and e-tendering?
Lapasar supports eRFQ (Start RFQ and AI RapidSource), side-by-side quotation comparison and reverse bidding guided by a Lapasar account manager. These documented workflows are not a claim of a full public e-tendering or contract lifecycle management suite. Confirm any wider tender or contract scope with our team.
What is B2B procurement software?
B2B procurement software digitises how a business requests, approves, buys and pays for goods — replacing spreadsheets and email with catalogues, approval workflows, budgets, spend analytics and audit trails. Lapasar bundles all of it with a live marketplace of verified suppliers, so the system and the supply sit in one place.
How does Lapasar's procurement platform work?
Teams browse a verified-supplier catalogue, raise requisitions that route through configurable approval chains, and buy at contract or wholesale prices. AI categorises spend, RFQ and reverse-bidding tools drive competitive quotes, and three-way matching reconciles orders, deliveries and invoices automatically.
Why is Lapasar's procurement software free?
Every feature is free forever for unlimited users — no licence fees, no per-seat pricing and no setup cost. Lapasar earns from trade on its marketplace and related services rather than from software licences, so procurement teams get the full platform at zero cost.
Who is Lapasar's procurement software for?
It fits procurement, finance and operations teams at Malaysian enterprises, GLCs and growing SMEs — anyone managing multi-user, multi-category spend who wants governance, wholesale pricing and sourcing support from one account.
