For electrical purchasing coordinators
Mission runs the RFQs, the confirmation chasing, and the reconciling so you keep sourcing the gear and protecting the schedule.
Your day
You run requisition → quote → PO → confirm → track → receive → reconcile across dozens of open jobs. The award, the buy-timing, and the ROJ judgment are why the gear shows up on time. Everything around those calls is keystrokes.
Hand-keying requisitions into RFQs, building manual price-comparison grids, cutting and emailing POs, chasing confirmations and ship dates, updating the ROJ tracker, matching packing slips on partials, and reconciling invoices for AP. This is the half that caps how many jobs one coordinator can carry.
Choosing which supply house wins on price, lead time, and reliability; deciding when to buy early and warehouse; negotiating volume pricing without burning a vendor; and judging which slip on a 44-week switchgear order actually threatens the schedule.
What it costs
The keystroke tax is the ceiling on your job load — and every untracked will-call and stale quote leaks margin the firm bid for.
Switchgear runs roughly 44 weeks and power transformers average 100+ weeks. You are the person tracking ROJ dates against quoted lead times so a slip doesn’t idle a crew.
Wire pricing alone can swing 15–20% across supply houses and moves daily, so a stale quote quietly erodes the bid margin job by job.
Invoices missing a PO or a matching receipt stall payment — and late payment costs the firm the preferential pricing wholesalers give buyers who pay on time.
With Mission: The RFQs, the chasing, and the reconciling run on their own — your week goes to the award, the buy-timing, and protecting the schedule.
What Mission does
You don’t need to know anything about AI. You set the supplier list and the workflow once, in plain language, and Mission’s agent runs the keystroke half of every order — then hands the draft back for you to award and approve.
Sends the line items to your standard supply houses — Graybar, Rexel, CED, WESCO, the local rep — ingests the PDF and email quotes that come back, and builds the side-by-side comparison automatically. You make the award.
The result
When the RFQs, the chasing, and the reconciling run on their own, what caps your job load stops being how fast you can type and starts being the sourcing judgment you’re good at.
Your job load follows your sourcing judgment instead of your keystroke capacity.
The watchtower flags long-lead gear before a slip idles a crew, not after.
Will-call buys get back-filled and quotes stay current, so the bid margin survives the order.
Safe by default
The agent does the keystrokes, the chasing, and the reconciling; the supplier selection, the negotiation, and the buy-timing stay with you. Nothing goes to a vendor without your approval, and anything uncertain is flagged, not guessed.
Works inside the tools you already run on — email, calendars, sheets, your CRM, your portals.
Anything risky or off-mission is held for your sign-off before it touches data or goes out the door.
You set the assignment once. The work stays on it for days and weeks without drifting.
You always have a clear view of what ran, what changed, and what needs a call — no transcript spelunking.
Show us the RFQs, the chasing, and the reconciling you do by hand on every order, and we’ll show you exactly what Mission would do for you.
