Supplier intelligence, delivered.
Procurement teams face an overload of data and a shortage of signal. SUMEDIAN blends analysts with autonomous tooling so you receive sourcing recommendations you can defend.
Why we started
SUMEDIAN launched in Charleston in 2023 after years spent watching teams lose momentum in manual research, scattered spreadsheets, and reactive firefighting.
We set out to restore confidence to complex procurement decisions without adding bureaucracy.
Our work is built around a simple idea: automation should accelerate preparation, not replace judgment. Analysts stay accountable for every shortlist, assessment, and sourcing event while AI handles the heavy lift of research and structuring.
How we operate
Grounded in the commitments of our SUMEDIAN Charter, we run every engagement with evidence-first accountability, transparent collaboration, and respect for the suppliers who power resilient supply chains.
- Clarity beats theatrics—evidence wins trust.
- Humans stay accountable while AI accelerates delivery.
- Responsible sourcing is a baseline, not an add-on.
- Every shortlist keeps a source trail so procurement can audit decisions.
- Suppliers are engaged with transparent expectations and respect for their time.
What we do today
Supplier sourcing, supplier audits, and RFP / RFQ management—our core services—deliver discovery, risk evaluation, and sourcing execution as one workflow. The SUMEDIAN platform extends that work: the Assistant answers sourcing questions with evidence, the Supplier Graph keeps records current, and Vault governs documentation.
We focus on regulated, engineering-led industries including automotive, electronics, industrial machinery, medical devices, and clean technology where supplier clarity is critical.
