Supplier intake shouldn’t be a guessing game.

Autonomous Intake

Employees often don’t know what information procurement needs, and risk questions are answered inaccurately or skipped altogether. The result is messy requests, endless follow-ups, and unnecessary cycle time.
Autonomous Intake solves this by combining vendor sourcing, risk underwriting, and validation into a seamless front door for procurement. Employees submit requests through a conversational flow, and Coverbase enriches them with context from documents, systems, and external data feeds. Risk scoring, vendor validation, and payee checks happen automatically, so procurement teams get complete, ready-to-process requests without the back-and-forth.
Key Capabilities

Vendor Sourcing & Intake

Employees request new vendors or locate existing ones through a centralized portal.
  • Connect directly to ERP, AP, TPRM, and SaaS management tools to surface vendors already in use.
  • Recommend vendors to requesters based on capabilities, compliance requirements, and risk profile.
  • Handle complex intake workflows behind the scenes, making submission simple without exposing employees to internal process complexity.

Vendor Risk Underwriting

Traditional intake relies on employees to answer risk questions they can’t accurately respond to - Coverbase automates this.
  • Replace inherent risk questionnaires with an AI-guided intake flow where users describe engagements in plain language.
  • Pull context automatically from internal sources (SOWs, RFPs, emails), public vendor information (websites, trust centers), and external data feeds (security ratings, financials, regulatory databases).
  • Estimate inherent risk and flag vendors for due diligence automatically—without relying on incomplete employee answers.

Bank Account & Payee Validation

  • Validate payees with bank ownership checks, OFAC/sanctions screening, and automatic alerts for account changes.
  • Prevent payment fraud by detecting anomalies, duplicate vendors, or impersonation attempts before approval.
