See original launch post

Hey everyone! We’re Sam and Eshani, the co-founders of Lumari 🔥

TL;DR: Lumari is AI-powered procurement automation for direct materials and supply chain. We deploy 100s of always-on AI agents that run sourcing workflows, manage RFQs, expedite purchase orders, and coordinate supplier communication end-to-end.

The Problem ❌

Supply chain teams are stuck in reactive mode.

  • Buyers spend their days copy-pasting between email, spreadsheets, and ERPs, chasing supplier quotes, following up on late POs, and manually entering delivery updates
  • Missed delivery dates and poor visibility lead to expediting costs, production delays, and revenue risk
  • Existing tools require suppliers to adopt new portals and force rigid workflows that don't reflect how teams actually operate
  • There's too much operational work and not enough time for strategic decision-making

Lumari’s Solution ✨

Lumari brings autonomous agents to supply chain and acts as a force multiplier for the team.

  • Automates the manual chase across the entire procurement lifecycle, from RFQs to PO tracking to supplier follow-ups
  • Compresses cycle times and gives teams full visibility into active orders, RFQs, and supplier performance
  • Operates directly on top of existing tools (ERP, email, Slack, Excel) with no rip-and-replace and no supplier onboarding
  • Teams are always in control with configurable guardrails and approval layers for every action
  • Customize your agent behavior and configuration in plain English

We partner closely with every customer to adapt our agents to their specific processes and systems, from Fortune 500s to fast-growing scale-ups.
