Spot Buy
Turn one-off buying events into governed negotiations.
For lower-complexity purchases where speed matters: collect the requirement, engage qualified suppliers, negotiate within guardrails and return a decision-ready recommendation.
HOW IT WORKS
From request to negotiated option, without creating another sourcing project.

GOOD FIT
Use Spot Buy where the economics of a full sourcing event do not work.
Repeatable specifications, modest transaction values, short timelines and clear commercial guardrails.
Keep humans in control
Approved supplier pools, mandate limits, award thresholds and exception rules remain procurement-owned.
Control
Three gates before an award can happen.
Gate 1
Inside the cost cap
The supplier counter must remain inside the approved delivered-cost cap.
Supplier counter against cap
Gate 2
No silent substitution
No substitution, minimum order quantity or scope deviation without buyer approval.
Gate 3
Award follows your rule
Whispor can recommend the outcome. The award follows your configured approval rule.
Next step
Bring a spot buy.
Use an urgent, bounded purchase to see how speed and governance can coexist.
