AI-assisted contract analysis
We built KaizenIQ for Equalis Group, connecting procurement workflows with AI-assisted contract analysis and human review.
Equalis needed AI-assisted contract analysis with human control.
Equalis Group is a cooperative purchasing organisation serving agencies, suppliers and internal teams. Softobiz developed KaizenIQ as a role-based procurement workspace with a retrieval-grounded contract assistant.
Agencies and suppliers previously relied on manual coordination and internal specialists for contract information. The growing network needed a shared platform with clear review and approval responsibilities.
What stood in the way.
Manual coordination
Agencies, suppliers, and internal teams worked through email and effort, not a platform.
Contract knowledge locked up
Answering contract questions depended on internal specialists' time.
A growing network
As the network grew, manual coordination became harder to sustain.
The solution, piece by piece.
A retrieval-grounded contract assistant
Natural-language questions retrieve relevant contract material and produce a proposed answer for user review.
AI solicitation drafting
Produces draft solicitation content from inputs and business requirements for a business user to review and edit.
Targeted outreach
Assists users in identifying prospects and relevant contacts while keeping outreach decisions with the team.
Human-in-the-loop by design
AI assists; business users review, edit, and approve every output.
Response evaluation
Supports scoring and evaluation of supplier responses, with business users responsible for the decision.
Full lifecycle ownership
Proactive application-lifecycle management and QA on Next.js, TypeScript, and .NET Core.
What changed for the client.
