The agent watches programme movement, long-lead items, supplier confirmations and delivery timing, then flags procurement risk before it becomes a site delay.
Long-lead items surface late: The items needing months of notice get days of it.
Confirmations are tracked manually: Whether a supplier actually confirmed lives in inboxes.
Delivery timing drifts from readiness: The programme moves; the delivery date doesn't hear about it.
Priorities lag the programme: When the sequence changes, purchasing priorities update later, by memory.
Managers see it when site is waiting: The first procurement report is a stopped trade.
Trigger → compare → draft → your confirmation.
Trigger: The programme moves, a lead time changes, or a confirmation goes missing.
Compare: The agent compares procurement status against what the programme now needs, and when.
Draft: It flags at-risk items, drafts supplier follow-up lists and reprioritises the risk register.
Confirm: Your procurement lead reviews the flags and owns every order and escalation.
The programme in. Order-by dates out.
What the agent reads: What the programme now needs, and the date it stops being possible to order it. (Construction programme and sequence; Procurement schedule and purchase orders; Supplier confirmations; Lead times and delivery dates; Site readiness status)
What the agent produces: Risk you can still act on, weeks before site is the one telling you. (Long-lead tracker, kept current; Missing-confirmation flags; Delivery-to-stage mismatch warnings; Supplier follow-up lists; Procurement risk summary)
It stands on how a supply group actually buys.
The agent extends our procurement system, whose sequence-driven purchasing discipline is built from how DDDI Group's development, construction and supply businesses actually buy.
In shadow mode it flags against orders you have already placed, so you can judge how much earlier it would have warned you.
The Cyberate Procurement Agent is a construction AI agent that watches long-lead items, supplier confirmations and programme dependencies, flags mismatches early and drafts follow-ups, with purchasing decisions staying with your procurement lead.
Does it place orders?
No. It watches, flags and drafts follow-ups. Purchasing decisions and supplier commitments stay with your procurement lead.
Where does it get lead times?
From your procurement schedule and supplier data inside the agreed boundary. Unknown lead times are flagged as unknowns.
Can it work with our ERP purchasing?
Yes. It coordinates the operational risk side and integrates with your financial systems for the paperwork.
How does it connect to the schedule?
It reads the same build sequence the scheduling system manages, so programme movement reprioritises procurement automatically.
Stop discovering procurement risk at the site gate.
