MOI connects procurement document parsing, item confirmation, multi-source research, supplier recommendations, price analysis, and report export in one evidence-backed workflow.
China Mobile IoT Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Mobile, the world's largest mobile operator by subscriber count. It specializes in IoT hardware, connectivity modules and smart device manufacturing, managing large-scale procurement of components such as 5G CPE terminals, connectivity modules and industrial gateways.
Each procurement project starts with requirements spread across project documents, technical specifications, procurement plans and supplier quotations. Extracting items, specifications and quantities from PDFs, Word files, spreadsheets and scans is time-consuming and prone to omissions, while inconsistent parameter formats make comparison difficult.
Historical purchases, transaction prices, budgets and internal supplier records live in separate systems. External market information and alternative products come from websites and industry materials. Procurement staff must assemble and check these sources before they can compare suppliers and prices.
Supplier evaluation and price comparison depend heavily on individual experience. Reviewers weigh qualifications, price, delivery and risk differently, and inconsistent quotation formats add further checking and rework.
Preparing a report requires repeated collection, organization and explanation of data. Findings and their evidence are difficult to preserve together, so subsequent projects repeat much of the same work and struggle to reuse the basis for procurement decisions and approvals.
MOI connects document parsing, requirement confirmation, data retrieval, supplier evaluation and report generation in one sourcing workflow. Procurement staff work through a single entry point, with manual correction and review retained throughout.
After project documents, technical specifications and quotations are uploaded, OCR and multimodal parsing extract target items, models, quantities and key technical parameters into structured requirements. Procurement staff confirm or supplement these parameters before analysis proceeds.
Confirmed requirements guide retrieval across historical purchases, transaction prices, budgets and internal supplier records, alongside external market information, industry materials and alternative products. These sources form a unified view of the current project.
The agent applies business rules to compare suppliers by past performance, qualifications and key capabilities. Historical prices, budgets and quotation samples inform supplier recommendations, reference price ranges and risk alerts for procurement staff to verify and assess.
Results become a reviewable, exportable sourcing report covering item summaries, supplier recommendations, market analysis, price comparisons, risks and procurement suggestions. Key findings link to their source evidence for approvals, negotiations and later review.
Document extraction, internal and external data queries, and report preparation take place in one workflow. Less manual transcription and cross-system assembly give procurement staff more time for supplier assessment and negotiation.
Consistent requirements, supplier evaluation criteria and price comparison methods make results easier to compare, reducing repeated work caused by different document formats and individual approaches.
Supplier recommendations, price ranges and risk alerts link to their source evidence. Procurement staff can verify key findings and export the report as DOCX for decisions, approvals and review.
Data mappings, analysis rules and reporting workflows can be reused across projects, gradually becoming shared procurement knowledge and working methods for future sourcing tasks.
