3. Deep Dive — Additional Modules
3.1 Order Management
| Feature |
|---|
| Order Dashboard: tabular view with filters by buyer, supplier, status, deadline. Visual indicators for critical or delayed orders. Each order line shows confirmation status (pending, received, deviation) |
| Intelligent order confirmation reading (AI): AI reads supplier confirmation emails (PDF, Excel, free text), extracts delivery dates, quantities, prices and automatically links them to the corresponding order line. If the confirmation differs from the order, the system flags the delta and proposes an action |
| Confirmation compliance rules (co-design): Compri verifies that the confirmation contains the minimum required information. If partial or informal, the buyer must intervene. If complete, the order can move to confirmed with simplified validation |
| Human validation: the buyer accepts, rejects or counter-proposes the suggested change before it is written to the ERP. No automatic changes without explicit approval |
| Automatic AI follow-up: bulk selection of order lines and generation of personalized emails per supplier. Not static templates but AI-generated emails based on context (delay, urgency, history). Scheduling with progressive escalation |
| Multi-level follow-up: configuration of reminder rules by order type, supplier and criticality |
| Email from platform: communications originate from Compri with precise references to the order. The supplier replies to the same email and the AI intercepts it |
| Email interaction without platform: the buyer can reply directly to supplier emails without opening Compri. The system reads the email thread and updates the action page accordingly |
| Offline management: the buyer can bypass the email flow if already agreed with the supplier (phone, WhatsApp, supplier on site) |
| Communication history: every exchange with the supplier is linked to the order line. Complete traceability of who wrote what and when |
| ERP read synchronization: orders, lines, dates, quantities, supplier master data synchronized from the ERP. Configurable periodic updates |
| ERP write synchronization: automatic update of confirmed delivery dates on the ERP after buyer confirmation. Compri is the operational master |
| Real-time KPIs: average delay days, OTD (On-Time Delivery), OTIF (On-Time In-Full), reliability by supplier and category. Historical trends |
| Partial and split confirmation management: if the supplier confirms only part of the quantity or proposes split deliveries, the system manages separate lines with distinct dates and quantities |
| Order versioning: every change involving price or quantity generates a new order version (V1, V2, V3...). Date-only changes do not generate a new version |
| Critical order alerts: configurable notifications for delayed orders, confirmations missing for more than N days, price deviations above threshold |
3.2 RFQ / Tender Management

| Reserved documents (INT): internal area for audit reports and notes not shared with the supplier |
| Category editing during active onboarding with automatic questionnaire update |
| Default document preloading: recurring documents pre-loaded by default for each new onboarding (e.g. company registry, DURC, ISO) |
| Configurable default reviewers per section |
| Automatic link to supplier register on completion: the system links the onboarding to the supplier master data via VAT number, marks as qualified and offers to create it if not found |
