Dundir

The same design, for your own purchasing.

Dundir is designing a procurement solver for construction buyers. The same design could serve a manufacturer’s own purchasing. Nothing is built or piloted for that yet.

The problem

Supplier data for two reports at once.

Your purchasing decides on price and delivery, and your sustainability report needs data on the same suppliers.

CSRD

In-scope companies report Scope 3: emissions across their value chain, suppliers included. Which companies, and from when, depends on size and is being revised: check before quoting a date.

Swing on one subcontractor’s total when a generative AI tool was given the same bids in a new session.

The design Stage: research and design

Computing, not generating.

A language model writes an answer. An optimisation engine works one out.

Hard requirements are fixed first: certification, delivery date, budget ceiling, CO₂ limit. Price and reliability are weighed inside them, by weights you set. Same input, same answer, and the reasons written down at award.

Where we stand

Stage, not product.

Module Stage
Procurement solver research and design
Smart gate lab prototype
Supplier record and contract memory design

What we have not proven yet. That the solver buys better than an experienced buyer. The literature supports the problem and the local design; the rest has to come from pilot data, and we do not have it yet.

What we are asking for

A conversation now, a pilot later.

  • An exploratory conversation. Whether your purchasing has the same problem.
  • Timing. A pilot after the first construction pilots have results.
  • Your requirements. What your purchasing would need that construction does not.
