The procurement runtime that decides when to buy — and queues every action for the operator's signature.
ORIGINS is the operational extension of the firm's quantitative discipline into coffee procurement. Pressure-driven buy decisions, multi-supplier scoring against the operator's lead-time and reliability history, recipe-aware blend coverage, FIFO lot tracking with age warnings, PO drafts queued for sign-off, and 90-day cashflow projections — built to replace the bulk of a procurement team's daily ops without removing the operator from the write path.
Procurement teams spend most of their day in the same loop — watching origin prices, juggling supplier quotes, checking blend stock against forward orders, drafting POs, and worrying about cash. ORIGINS automates the loop and hands the operator the signature line. Six capabilities make this work.
The firm's SIGMA pressure model runs against live origin prices and projects a buy-now / wait / hedge action for each green coffee position on the operator's roster. No "is the chart up or down" — a quantified pressure score with confidence.
When the buy decision says "go," ORIGINS scores every active supplier on a composite of price, lead time, and historical reliability — not just the lowest quote. The operator gets the right supplier for the lot, not the cheapest one.
ORIGINS knows the blend recipes, the forward demand plan, and the available inventory. It surfaces blend stockout risk before it becomes a delivery problem — and proposes the lot purchase that closes the gap with the least cashflow disruption.
Green coffee deteriorates. ORIGINS tracks each lot under FIFO and flags any position approaching the six-month freshness threshold — so old inventory ships before new, and the operator never finds a quality problem at the cupping table.
Every recommended buy becomes a draft purchase order — supplier, lot, price, lead time, payment terms, cashflow impact — queued for the operator's signature. ORIGINS proposes; the operator approves. No autonomous procurement, ever.
Every proposed action shows its 90-day cash consequence — what's paid when, what's released when, what the working capital position looks like at each pay date. Procurement decisions become finance-aware by default.
The operator opens ORIGINS at 8:00 local. The runtime has already processed overnight origin prices, supplier quotes, blend stock against forward orders, and the firm's pressure model. The digest below is what shows up.
Live origin prices, supplier quotes, lead-time history, reliability scores, blend recipes, forward demand, FIFO inventory state, payment calendar. Pulled from the operator's existing systems of record, normalized into the ORIGINS ontology, kept in sync.
SIGMA pressure model on each origin. Composite scoring across active suppliers. Recipe coverage against forward demand. FIFO age check. 90-day cashflow projection. Output: a ranked daily action digest with confidence, sourcing, and cost consequence per action.
Every action is a draft purchase order with the operator's signature line. Approve, edit, or decline. No PO touches a supplier, no commit touches the books, no email leaves the outbox until the operator signs. Agentic by design, never autonomous.
