Supplier Intelligence

Your vendor database already has the answers. Sila ingests it — Excel, CSV, PDF, ERP exports — and lets you query it in plain language. Ask questions. Get shortlists. Automatically.

Your supplier data is an untapped asset

Most companies have years of vendor data trapped in spreadsheets, ERP tables, and email archives. Finding the right supplier for a new RFQ means asking someone who 'just knows' or scrolling through hundreds of rows.

Example queries

Q: Which suppliers delivered structural steel to Jubail in the last 12 months?
Q: Show me all pipe fitting vendors with a reliability score above 85%.
Q: Who has the fastest average lead time for electrical components?
Q: List vendors certified for SASO compliance in the valve category.
Q: Which supplier gave us the best price on PPE last quarter?
