This is sourcing, rebuilt.

Introducing LightSource AI Workforce: five AI capabilities that execute direct materials sourcing from first file to final award.

AI built into sourcing, not added around it.

Every sourcing program starts with a BOM that is not sourcing-ready.
LightSource AI Workforce closes that gap.

No BOM arrives sourcing-ready. The AI Workforce does the work to get it there and keeps going: item ingestion, volume baselining, RFx execution, award optimization. Trained on your program, not the industry average, and improving with every event you run.

Every sourcing program starts with a BOM that is not sourcing-ready. LightSource AI Workforce closes that gap.

It runs inside the workflow at every stage: item ingestion, volume baselining, RFX setup and execution, and award optimization.

LightSource is a system that knows your program and gets sharper with every cycle.

Real results from our partners

  • LightSource and Arxada co-branded graphic over a blue molecular imagery background

    The reason why we love LightSource so much is we have quarterly RFQs on our tail spend, which is a tremendous amount of volume and vendors. It’s a huge number, and this platform allows us to conduct those with ease.
