What Kavida.ai does

Kavida.ai (legal entity: Kavida Technologies Ltd) is a London-based software company founded in 2020-2021 that builds agentic AI procurement agents for manufacturing supply chains. Its core product, Agent PO, deploys autonomous AI agents that automate over 100 procurement tasks including purchase order management, order confirmations, supplier follow-ups, document collection and validation, RFQ creation and response, three-way matching, and shipment tracking. The platform integrates bidirectionally with major ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Infor, Epicor and others) and operates via email inbox, requiring minimal IT involvement during deployment (claimed 16 hours total) and no workflow changes from suppliers. Additional products include a Sales Agent for customer RFQ responses and an Agent Copilot providing natural language querying across procurement data.

The company sells primarily via a direct enterprise sales motion targeting mid-market and large manufacturing companies in aerospace, electronics, construction, automotive, apparel, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals, with implementation handled by Kavida's team. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue is recognized as a SaaS subscription tied to automation scope and order volume managed. Kavida holds ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and UK GDPR compliance certifications and operates a dedicated VPC architecture. Total disclosed equity funding prior to exit was approximately £1.2 million across two rounds led by quality-control provider QIMA (pre-seed June 2021, seed August 2023).

In November 2025, QAD Inc. (operating as QAD Redzone) agreed to acquire Kavida Technologies Ltd, with founders Anamur Rahman (CEO) and Sumit Sinha (CTO) and the AI engineering team joining QAD Redzone to drive the Champion AI platform roadmap. Kavida's procurement agents are being integrated into QAD's Champion AI offering on AWS infrastructure, giving the technology access to QAD Redzone's mid-market manufacturer installed base. As of the acquisition announcement, Kavida operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of QAD Inc.
