Glidely

Glidely is an AI procurement automation platform built for multi-site manufacturers that still run thousands of competitive bids and RFQs by hand. Glidely's AI sourcing agent, Sunny, automates the three-bid and quote-comparison process across a company's approved supplier list for MRO parts and direct materials — surfacing manufacturer-direct pricing alongside distributor quotes on every bid. The platform normalizes part numbers and supplier data across all manufacturing sites, turning years of fragmented, site-by-site spend data into a unified cross-site view without requiring ERP write-back. Glidely runs alongside existing SAP, Oracle, Coupa, and Ariba deployments — handling the high-frequency tail-spend bidding that enterprise P2P suites leave to manual inbox workflows — and automatically builds an audit trail of approvals, competitive bids, and lowest-cost decisions. Founded by an ex-Keyence factory-automation team and backed by Alchemist Accelerator.
