The Challenge

A procurement process slowed down by manual communication

Jaleel's procurement workflow depended heavily on manual coordination between the business and its vendors, creating delays and friction throughout the bidding process.

Slow, manual workflows

Bid management and vendor communication required significant manual effort.

Delayed vendor responses

Vendors lacked a convenient way to receive updates and respond quickly.

Limited transparency

A procurement platform built around how vendors already communicate

Flentas combined a centralized procurement portal with a Generative AI-powered WhatsApp experience to automate the workflow without adding friction for vendors.
