Accelerate Your Software Sourcing with AI-Driven Shortlisting
No more year-long vendor hunts or guesswork. Pyramyd's Light RFP approach and AI-driven requirement matching transform your software selection process—from massive P2P solutions down to smaller niche tools.
See how our AI can cut your selection cycle by 80%.
Overview
Traditional software sourcing is tedious, often dragging out to 12+ months for complex solutions like Procure-to-Pay (P2P). Smaller tools get rushed with minimal evaluation, risking misaligned vendors or suboptimal fits.
Pyramyd Software Sourcing tackles these pain points head-on. Our AI-driven platform parses your requirements—whether it's a massive P2P system or a quick-fix SaaS—then automatically ranks the best-fit vendors. This "light RFP" approach lowers overhead, surfaces lesser-known vendor options, and helps your team justify final choices with exportable, transparent reports.
Key Pain Points & Solutions
Pain / Limitation:
Evaluating solutions like P2P can take 12+ months. Each 'demo day' reveals a showstopper gap, forcing partial restarts. Often no single 'all-in' solution, leading to multiple smaller tools.
Pyramyd's Solution:
- AI-Driven RFP Builder: Upload your partial or full requirements doc, and let Pyramyd auto-extract key capabilities.
- Smart Vendor Shortlists: Instead of running endless demos, see a top 10–20 vendors in days (not months).
- Renewal Prompts: On contract end, quickly re-check for better fits rather than defaulting to incumbents.
Pain / Limitation:
Formal RFP is seen as 'overhead' for simpler tools, so teams skip it. Potentially miss out on better or more affordable vendors. Minimal documentation or justification for these 'quick picks.'
Pyramyd's Solution:
- Light RFP Workflow: Maintain just enough structure—no more giant spreadsheets.
- Anonymous 'Stealth' Approach: Gather interest from vendors without spam calls or forcing your identity disclosure.
- Continuous Discovery: Even for a small SaaS, see if niche players might fit better than default 'big brand' names.
Pain / Limitation:
No re-check unless there's a major user complaint. Incumbent vendors remain by default, ignoring possible better solutions. IT budgets locked into outdated software.
Pyramyd's Solution:
- Renewal & Reevaluation Nudges: Automatic reminders when contracts near end—if new features or issues arise, quickly see other market options.
- Frictionless Re-Comparison: Already have your requirements saved, so re-rank vendors at any time with minimal effort.
- Post-Deployment Satisfaction: Track user feedback to confirm if the incumbent is still meeting critical needs.
Pain / Limitation:
Manual RFP processes create clunky spreadsheets; changing requirements midstream is chaotic. Multiple stakeholders often add last-minute features, prolonging the cycle. Final selection must be justified in internal decks or Excel for sign-off.
Pyramyd's Solution:
- Collaborative Requirement Builder: Easily adjust priority or weight of features mid-project.
- Exportable Reports: Generate Excel, PDF, or PPT summaries for quick approvals.
- Iterative Approach: As new features arise, re-score and watch vendor rankings update instantly—no rework or new docs needed.
Core Software Sourcing Capabilities

Pyramyd scours public data, merges it with user overrides, then ranks vendors 0–10 for each feature or capability.
Benefit: For mid-range or smaller tools, skip the overhead of heavy RFP docs but keep essential structure.
Securely gather vendor responses at a high level—anonymously if you prefer—reducing spam and sales noise.
Benefit: End 'renewal inertia'—re-check your options as soon as new requirements or user complaints surface.
Pyramyd's system stores your software portfolio and sends reminders to re-compare when renewal is up.
