It can read proposals, compare quotes, inspect supplier portals, extract renewal terms, and prepare the approval packet. It should not select a supplier, agree a price, sign a contract, or share sensitive information outside the limits your procurement and legal teams set.
01
A quote comparison needs more than the lowest number.
The commercial difference can sit in a minimum commitment, implementation fee, indexation clause, payment term, service-level exclusion, or renewal notice period. Strawberry can extract the terms into the same frame and show where a quote cannot be compared cleanly.
02
Supplier diligence should make the unknowns visible.
A supplier may have strong marketing material and weak evidence on data handling, insurance, financial stability, subcontractors, or delivery capacity. Build a diligence checklist that separates received evidence, unanswered questions, and claims that require validation.
03
Renewals should surface early enough to change the outcome.
A renewal is rarely a calendar event alone.
The decision depends on usage, service performance, price movement, termination notice, alternative options, and the business owner’s plan. Ask the agent to prepare the review packet before the notice period creates a default decision.
04
The approval packet should make the decision auditable.
If Google Docs is connected, supported native operations include creating a document, reading a document, appending content, finding text, and writing content. That can help prepare a sourcing recommendation from approved evidence, but the accountable approver should still validate the recommendation and authorise the commitment.
Yes. AI can extract commercial and operational terms from proposals into a comparison with links back to the original evidence.
It can identify and organize terms such as notice periods, fees, and obligations, while legal and procurement owners assess risk and approve the agreement.
With Google Docs connected, Strawberry supports creating and writing documents that can be used to prepare a reviewable approval packet.
It can prepare a renewal review from contract dates, usage, service issues, and commercial changes, with owners deciding the outcome.
It can organize the evidence and highlight trade-offs, but supplier selection requires accountable commercial, legal, security, and budget review.
A bounded renewal or supplier-monitoring check can be saved as a skill and scheduled as a routine with clear escalation and approval rules.
