How to check supplier certificates for expiry with AI, step by step
Put one supplier on each row, read each certificate the same way, and compare the answers with ten your team has already checked.
Read the worked example →Put one supplier on each row and write the check once, in plain words. DAGL asks the same question of every supplier, shows what each answer read, and counts where it agrees with your expert. On 412 suppliers the run cost about $0.84, and the cost showed before it started.
“We check 400 supplier certificates by hand every quarter. Two of us lose a week, and we still miss the ones that lapse in between.”

Keep it. Platforms such as Omnea or Coupa run requests, approvals and orders. DAGL runs the checks your own policy needs, such as which sites a certificate must cover, and sends the answers back to that platform.
Run the check on 50 suppliers your team has already checked. DAGL counts where the two agree and shows the step that went wrong where they differ.
How the expert check works →Add a few of them to the cases you test on. Where the AI cannot read a certificate, the answer says so and the supplier goes to review.
In the example, 412 suppliers cost about $0.84. DAGL shows the cost of each run before anything is sent.
