What Sligo AI does

Sligo AI is an enterprise agentic AI platform purpose-built for procurement, operating as Sligo Software, Inc. (Delaware-incorporated, headquartered in Naperville, Illinois). The platform centers on a Kubernetes-native multi-agent orchestration engine that deploys named, role-specialized GenAI agents — including Sourcing Agent Knocker, Supplier Outreach Agent Ailish, Category Agent Coacher, and Policy Agent Genny, among others — to autonomously execute end-to-end procurement workflows such as intake, sourcing, supplier engagement, category management, contract template generation, SQL analysis, and policy guidance. It is offered through three deployment modes: Sligo Enterprise (customer VPC for data sovereignty), Sligo Cloud (fully managed), and Sligo API (composable integrations), with a security posture covering SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA compliance and a publicly accessible Trust Center.

The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales to Fortune-class procurement organizations, monetized through annual enterprise subscriptions typically structured as 3-year initial terms with auto-renewal. Revenue is recognized on the subscribed services base, is non-cancelable once the term commences, and is not usage-based. Delivery is supported by a Forward-Deployed Engineering model and an Applied AI Center of Excellence. Distribution is augmented by an MCP server that integrates natively with 20+ procurement, ERP, and data systems (SAP Ariba, Coupa, SAP S/4HANA, Oracle, Workday, Snowflake, Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, etc.), and the orchestration layer is multi-model across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini. No public reference customers or disclosed revenue figures are available, and the company operates with 1–10 employees.

In October 2025, Sligo AI entered a strategic investment and partnership with SpendHQ and jointly launched an Agentic Enterprise Procurement Platform at DPW Amsterdam. In April 2026, SpendHQ completed the full acquisition of Sligo AI; founder and CEO Matt McCarrick was appointed Chief AI Officer of SpendHQ, while co-founder and CTO Daniel Bevan retained his role, and the entire Sligo AI team joined SpendHQ. Post-acquisition, Sligo AI functions as SpendHQ's agentic AI division with access to SpendHQ's $10 trillion+ enterprise spend dataset.
