Frequently asked questions

Scientist.com works with your teams to integrate and automate your procurement policies, guidelines, and workflows. This includes promoting or requiring use of preferred suppliers, and digitization of your rate cards and/or catalogs to ensure you always receive your negotiated pricing. 

Researchers manage sourcing, communications, and quote comparisons within the Scientist.com platform, assisted by proprietary AI for smart supplier selection and negotiation. Once selected, project details automatically flow into your ERP to trigger the Purchase Order.

Scientist.com can also consolidate and automate compliance and quality workflows which are often not supported by P2P systems and occur offline or through disparate systems. Approval routing is highly configurable to match your internal business rules based on category, risk, quality requirements, compliance policies, geography, or spend level.

This standardized framework eliminates the need to negotiate individual CDAs and MSAs with suppliers, and reduces Request-to-PO cycle times by up to 96%.

Built-in negotiation tools leverage AI to automatically request better pricing before final vendor selection, capturing additional hard-dollar savings with zero manual effort. Additionally, pre-negotiated rate cards and/or catalogs may be uploaded to your enterprise platform to enforce your agreed upon pricing.

Our proprietary AI analyzes historical performance to recommend the best-fit suppliers, including internal ratings and reviews to serve as a centralized knowledge hub. Once SOWs are submitted, the platform normalizes quotes for streamlined side-by-side comparison of pricing, timelines, and line items.

Upon launch, teams receive a dedicated Marketplace Director and Customer Success Manager to handle onboarding, live training, and daily operations. Additionally, our Research Concierge® team provides white-glove assistance to help your researchers scope complex projects, recommend best-fit suppliers, and facilitate negotiations to ensure complex outsourcing projects don't get stalled by administrative hurdles.
