Procurement teams receive hundreds of supplier emails per week — quote submissions, PO acknowledgments, shipping updates, questions, and everything in between. Manually reading, classifying, and routing each one is slow, error-prone, and pulls buyers away from higher-value work.
Axya's intelligent email classification uses AI to automatically detect the intent of every incoming supplier email, link it to the right procurement context, and suggest the appropriate next action.
Every supplier email is classified, routed, and actionable — without manual intervention.
When a supplier email arrives, Axya's AI reads the content and attachments to determine what the supplier is communicating. The system classifies emails into actionable intents:
| Intent | What It Means | Automated Action |
|---|---|---|
| Quote Submission | Supplier is responding to an RFQ with pricing | Linked to the corresponding RFQ; quote data extracted if attachment is present |
| PO Acknowledgment | Supplier confirms receipt of a purchase order | Linked to the PO; confirmation status updated |
| Shipping Notification | Supplier provides tracking or shipment details | Linked to the PO; delivery tracking updated |
| Question / Clarification | Supplier is asking about an RFQ or PO | Routed to the responsible buyer with full context |
| Change Request | Supplier requests a modification to pricing, quantities, or dates | Flagged for buyer review with change details highlighted |
| General Communication | Non-procurement content (introductions, marketing, etc.) | Categorized separately to reduce noise |
Most emails are classified and linked in under 10 seconds — no rules to configure, no keywords to maintain.
Once classified, emails are automatically linked to the correct procurement object — the right RFQ, PO, or supplier profile. The AI uses multiple signals to make the connection:
Beyond classification, the system suggests what should happen next. A quote submission triggers a review prompt. A shipping notification updates delivery expectations. A question is routed to the buyer who owns the RFQ — with the full conversation history attached.
Classification is just the start. The real value is in the next action the system recommends.
Suppliers sometimes send the same information multiple times — forwarded emails, CC chains, or re-sent attachments. Axya detects duplicate submissions and flags them rather than creating redundant records, keeping your procurement data clean.
Eliminate manual triage. Stop spending the first hour of every day sorting through supplier emails. Let AI handle the classification so your team can focus on decisions.
Faster response times. When every email is instantly routed to the right person with the right context, suppliers get answers faster — and your procurement cycles shorten.
Nothing falls through the cracks. Every email is classified and linked. No more lost quotes, missed shipping updates, or unanswered supplier questions buried in an inbox.
Clean procurement records. Automatic linking means your RFQs, POs, and supplier profiles always have the complete communication history — without manual data entry.
