Your intelligent procurement analyst for every part you buy.
Agent Midas benchmarks every supplier quote against live commodity intelligence and tells you exactly what your part should cost, with the evidence, the email, and the counter-offer ready to send.
Meet Agent Midas →Built for manufacturers across every commodity category
Steel, aluminium, copper, plastics and every other direct material, not just metals.
Your suppliers won't share their cost breakdown.
You don't need them to.
Every procurement lead knows how this actually goes: you ask the supplier for a cost breakdown, they give you a number that sums back to the quoted price, and everyone moves on. Transparency from the sell-side is a polite fiction.
SupplyVerse is not a transparency tool. It is a leverage tool. You walk into the negotiation with an independent, market-grounded should-cost your team built from public and licensed data. The supplier does not have to cooperate for the evidence to be defensible. They have to respond to it.
Supplier raises 10%. You have a week.
Your team pulls market snapshots into a spreadsheet, stitches together a cost model, and hopes the CFO signs off by Friday.
Should-cost ready in 60 seconds.
Material 40% of landed cost. Justified increase: ~4%. Supplier's ask: 10%. The delta is the negotiation.
You don't need the breakdown. You have one.
The conversation shifts from “accept or escalate” to “which of our inputs do you want to challenge?”
When commodity prices move, margin drift moves with them.
A 10% rise in aluminium does not justify a 10% rise in the finished part. Raw material is typically 40% of landed cost. The justified increase is closer to 4%. The remainder is absorbed into margin, and it compounds across every PO for the life of the contract.
For most direct materials teams, the issue is not strategy. It is capacity. Should-cost modelling is slow, labour-intensive, and hard to defend to a supplier without a transparent methodology. So increases get approved, and drift goes unmeasured.
McKinsey's direct materials research has found that buyers lack the tools to verify whether a supplier price rise is warranted in the window they have to respond, and that unverified increases meaningfully inflate annual direct spend across manufacturers without systematic benchmarking.

Built for the teams who feel the drift first.
SupplyVerse is purpose-built for a specific kind of procurement team. If this is you, the fit is exact.
- Mid-market manufacturers, $50M–$500M revenue
- Index-linked or hybrid supplier contracts
- Multi-commodity exposure, steel, aluminium, copper, plastics
- Quarterly or annual contract review cycles
- Procurement teams of 3–15 people who need extra capability without hiring an in-house commodity desk
- 100% fixed-price buyers with no surcharges
- Very low-volume buyers, where analyst cost exceeds the savings
- Large primes already running sophisticated in-house commodity desks
The people who actually buy the parts.
