Lio multi-agent procurement workforce (Lio OS agents for direct and indirect procurement)

What it does

Lio sells Lio OS, which it calls the world's first multi-agent system for direct and indirect procurement. It brings procurement agents and the enterprise into one operating layer connected to existing procurement and ERP systems. According to its homepage, the agents 'run the entire operative layer, from matching to chasing to exception handling' and execute operational work end to end, including edge cases. That covers work 'you used to hand to internal shared service centers or BPOs'. Strategically, the agents work alongside buyers to build should-cost models, prepare negotiations and manage the full contract and supplier lifecycle. Lio covers direct procurement (including raw materials), indirect procurement, finance and logistics. It cites 150+ enterprise deployments and customer stories with tesa, BASF Coatings and Novonesis, plus quotes from executives at Schaeffler and Bilfinger. Lio pairs the software with on-site AI engineers and transformation experts who redesign the procurement operating model with the customer. Customer counts and quotes are vendor claims.
