Building LyncFlow (launching here Tuesday) taught me that most procurement pain isn't in the big decisions it's the boring repetitive stuff. Follow-ups, retyping vendor quotes, tracking who said what and when.
Curious what this looks like for others here what's the one task in your procurement or vendor-management workflow that still eats the most time, that you wish a tool actually fixed instead of just tracking?
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Arif Billah, founder of LyncFlow.
If you’ve ever managed procurement, you know the drill: your ERP handles accounting, but your team spends hours chasing vendors, reading unstructured email replies, copying data out of PDFs, and manually compiling Comparative Statements.
Most tools track that a quote request was sent—LyncFlow takes care of what happens when the vendor actually replies.
What LyncFlow does:
Automated Vendor Follow-Ups: Set custom cadences (e.g., 3 days for local, 7 for import) to keep quotes moving.
AI Quote Extraction: Our AI reads vendor email replies and PDFs, pulling price, quantity, delivery terms, and payment terms into a ready-to-view Comparative Statement.
Human-in-the-Loop Control: AI extracts the data, but human approval is required before saving. It never auto-approves or makes autonomous purchasing decisions.
Vendor Intelligence & Risk Assessments: Track responsiveness, delivery reliability, and document quality, or generate AI vendor risk narratives on demand.
Enterprise-Ready: Complete audit trail, support for 16 currencies, and white-label branded workspaces.
LyncFlow isn’t an ERP replacement—it’s a workflow automation layer that sits alongside your existing system to fix the painful vendor-communication gaps ERPs leave behind.
I built LyncFlow over the last ~3 months alongside my job, leveraging Claude AI across architecture, extraction logic, and security audits. We’re bootstrapped, starting with mid-market manufacturing, pharma, and FMCG teams, and offering a 14-day free trial (no credit card required) along with special Founding Client pricing.
