The cost of doing nothing
95% see tier-one supplier risk, but only 42% see tier two or beyond. The disruption that stops you is often a supplier you can't see.
See where supplier cost, risk and quality reach your materials, plants, customer orders and margin. Act on the right response, with approval. Prove the value to Finance.
95% see tier-one supplier risk, but only 42% see tier two or beyond. The disruption that stops you is often a supplier you can't see.
Last-minute off-contract buying drains 12–18% from every off-contract dollar. Negotiated value disappears between the contract and the purchase.
Results reported where procurement workflows were redesigned around AI agents—not where tools were added to old processes.
Waiting isn't neutral. Each quarter without a connected supplier view is a quarter of exposure and leakage you can't measure.
External research benchmarks, not Zeak customer results or promised returns. Survey populations, methods and use cases differ.
Supplier value leaks between the negotiated price and the realized margin. Supplier Intelligence makes each gap visible, gives it an owner and measures the result.
Compare contract, PO and invoice prices. Surface index gaps, missed rebates and off-contract spend before they reach margin.
Compare qualified options on landed cost, quality, lead time, terms and risk together, with tradeoffs visible before approval.
Track scrap, rework, expedites, warranty and chargebacks caused by suppliers through to recovery.
Evaluate payment terms, consignment and safety stock as one cash decision, supplier by supplier.
Trace a late or failing supplier to the materials, plants, products and customer orders it affects—before commitments slip.
Put delivery and quality evidence inside reviews, sourcing and corrective actions so repeat problems get fixed at the source.
Keep certifications, qualifications and supplier evidence current and on file, with expiry warnings and a recorded decision trail.
Monitoring agents surface what changed; one decision view carries it from first signal to a verified, recorded result.
Find the categories, suppliers and contracts where commercial value is leaking. Prioritize by opportunity and feasibility.
Agree baselines and benefit definitions up front, and see negotiated, implemented and realized value kept separate.
See which plants, products and customer orders depend on each supplier, and how long you can run if one fails.
Bring nonconformances, corrective actions, certifications and qualification status into every supplier decision.
See supplier performance, open POs, consignment stock and risk in one place, with alerts on what changed.
Deploy in your environment, under your identity, access and change controls, connected to the systems you already run.
See concentration, risk and buying synergies across legal entities, sites, acquisitions and multiple ERPs.
Eleven capabilities share one supplier record, one body of evidence and one approval trail—from onboarding and sourcing to consignment, quality, risk and value recovery.
Bring sites, business units and acquisitions into one supplier view—read, write or both—configured to your targets and controls.
And any other ERP, QMS, LIMS, procure-to-pay, warehouse or custom system. D365 F&O sync—field mapping, connection tests and record reconciliation—is live today; other platforms connect through the integration layer, with mappings verified in discovery.
Set delivery and quality targets, savings goals and your fiscal calendar. Control viewing, editing, approval and administration through roles.
Published formulas, source freshness and a decision history behind every score and value measure—tested on your own history before you expand.
Zeak uses AI where it improves investigation, document review and recommendations. Administrators set what each rule may do, and consequential decisions always go to a person for approval—never self-approved.
The rule acts only inside the limits an administrator sets. Consequential decisions still go to a person for approval.
Most real companies don't fit one box. That's normal—capabilities are configured to your materials, risks and qualification rules.
Qualification, certificates, lot traceability and alternate-source readiness—without bypassing Quality.
Index pricing, tolling, consignment, material substitution and the cost of quality or yield loss.
Part approvals, BOM dependencies and long-lead components. Prioritize risks that can stop the line.
Allocation, end-of-life components and qualified alternate parts.
Long lead times, qualification, counterfeit exposure and controlled supplier data.
Ingredient and packaging dependencies, supplier change notices and brand-level supply risk.
Fill rate, price protection, rebates, consignment and supplier terms at scale.
Shared supplier visibility across companies and ERPs; scope buying synergies while legacy systems remain.
Industry-specific capabilities are configured and phased to your scope. Regulated workflows require use-case-specific design and validation.
Procurement, Finance, Quality and IT need the same confidence: clear access, explainable numbers, a record of what happened and releases that never surprise production.

Yes—we personalize Supplier Intelligence to match your strategic initiatives, processes and organization. Choose the path that fits where you are.
One decision, one owner, measurable value. Scope, timing and pilot terms are agreed in your proposal.
No. Zeak reads approved data from the systems you already run—ERP, procurement and quality—and handles the supplier decisions that cross them. Your systems of record stay exactly where they are.
Yes, and that's a common starting point. Zeak brings multiple ERPs, legal entities and acquired businesses into one supplier view, so you don't need to consolidate systems first. The connections you need are confirmed in discovery.
No. Start with the records needed for one decision. Zeak reconciles that data against your sources and shows where it's incomplete, and we agree together what's reliable enough to act on before widening the scope.
You own your data. Zeak runs in your cloud environment, so supplier data stays under your control. Ownership of configuration and enhancements is set out in your agreement.
Only what you choose to share. Supplier access is role-based and limited to each supplier's own records—such as their documents, orders, scorecards and corrective actions—and is phased in your proposal.
You can see every formula and the source data behind it. You set targets, RFQ scoring weights and rule autonomy yourself; scoring and risk models tailored to your company can be added as an enhancement.
Yes. We personalize Supplier Intelligence to match your business and organization. Custom enhancements to an existing application are delivered as time-and-materials services, approved by you before work begins. If you need a completely new solution, we evaluate it with you and can deliver it at time and materials, fixed cost, or a hybrid of time and materials and outcome-based pricing. We'll explore every option with you.
Yes—regulated industries are where our team has spent decades. Qualification status, certificates, lot traceability and change-control evidence are part of supplier decisions, and validation is designed with your Quality team for each regulated use case.
Yes. Supplier-owned stock, consignment terms, consumption-based settlement, replenishment targets and reconciliation are managed alongside your own inventory, configured to your sites and suppliers.
A decision owner, input from the category team, a Finance contact to agree the baseline, and an IT owner for data access, identity and a test environment. Effort and timing are agreed in discovery.
