This is sourcing, rebuilt.

Introducing LightSource AI Workforce: five AI capabilities that execute direct materials sourcing from first file to final award.

AI built into sourcing, not added around it.

Every sourcing program starts with a BOM that is not sourcing-ready.
LightSource AI Workforce closes that gap.

No BOM arrives sourcing-ready. The AI Workforce does the work to get it there and keeps going: item ingestion, volume baselining, RFx execution, award optimization. Trained on your program, not the industry average, and improving with every event you run.

Every sourcing program starts with a BOM that is not sourcing-ready. LightSource AI Workforce closes that gap.

It runs inside the workflow at every stage: item ingestion, volume baselining, RFX setup and execution, and award optimization.

LightSource is a system that knows your program and gets sharper with every cycle.

One AI-native workflow. Every stage of sourcing.

LightSource AI Workforce brings context to every sourcing step, so your team can move faster with less manual work.
