Request a supplier and assess inherent risk in minutes.
Employees often don't know what information procurement needs, and risk questions are answered inaccurately or skipped altogether. The result is messy requests, endless follow-ups, and unnecessary cycle time.
Autonomous Intake solves this by combining supplier sourcing, risk underwriting, and validation into a single front door for procurement. Employees submit requests through a conversational flow, and Coverbase enriches them with context from documents, systems, and external data feeds. Risk scoring, supplier validation, and payee checks happen automatically, so procurement teams get complete, ready-to-process requests without the back-and-forth.
Supplier intake capabilities.
- 01
Supplier sourcing and intake
Connect directly to ERP, AP, TPRM, and SaaS management tools to surface suppliers already in use.
- Recommend suppliers to requesters based on capabilities, compliance requirements, and risk profile.
- Handle complex intake workflows behind the scenes, making submission simple without exposing employees to internal process complexity.
- 02
Supplier risk underwriting
Replace inherent risk questionnaires with an AI-guided intake flow where users describe engagements in plain language.
- Pull context automatically from internal sources (SOWs, RFPs, emails), public supplier information (websites, trust centers), and external data feeds (security ratings, financials, regulatory databases).
- Estimate inherent risk and flag suppliers for due diligence automatically, without relying on incomplete employee answers.
- 03
Bank account and payee validation
Validate payees with bank ownership checks, OFAC/sanctions screening, and duplicate detection to prevent payment fraud.
- Flag anomalies, duplicate suppliers, and mismatched bank details before approval.
- 04
Supplier validation and controls
Automate W-9 and tax ID (TIN) matching, business registration checks, and certificate of insurance validation.
- Check that suppliers collect and remit sales tax according to nexus rules, and flag mismatches for resolution.

What happens before procurement approves.
What arrives, what we check, and who approves.
How does an employee submit a request?
Describe the supplier and the work in plain language. We ask what is missing and attach the context we find.
What informs inherent risk?
We use engagement details, statements of work, emails, supplier websites, trust centers, and connected security, financial, and regulatory feeds.
Can you check payment details?
Yes. We flag bank-ownership mismatches, sanctions matches, duplicate payees, and changed banking details for review.
Who approves the supplier?
Your procurement and risk teams do. We prepare the request and put the exceptions in front of them.
