Procurement for long-lead goods and labor
Your price was good. Ours is better. Can't find it? Doesn't mean we can't.
Send us your best quote. We'll go find a better one.
Any vendor, any time. For anything with a long lead.
Equipment, materials, components, skilled labor and factory production slots. Tell us what you need. VudooAI finds the vendors, including ones not on any platform, and compares price, lead time and landed cost so you can buy sooner.

Categories we source include power equipment, HVAC and cooling, steel and metals, wire and cable, valves and pumps, industrial parts, building materials, specialty labor, production slots, surplus and unused, components, staffing and skilled labor, and anything else.
Somewhere, someone has exactly what you're waiting on. A transformer sitting unused in a yard. An open slot on a factory line. A crew finishing early two states over. We find them, and we bring both sides to the table. That's the whole job.
Procurement is the exchange of goods and services. We just connect it.
01 Process
How it works
One request. We do the searching, the outreach and the comparison.
Describe it or upload a spec
A sentence, a datasheet, a spec or a bill of materials. AI pulls out the scope: item, quantity, ratings, site and need-by date.
We find the vendors
Manufacturers, distributors, dealers, rebuilders, surplus holders and labor crews, on platforms or off them. We ask for price, lead time and availability.
Compare and close
Options side by side, ranked by total landed cost and lead time. You pick. We help you close the deal.

Staffing
Skilled crews, sourced with your equipment
Long-lead projects stall on people as often as parts. Tell VudooAI the trade, headcount, site and start date (electricians, linemen, welders, pipefitters, HVAC and commissioning techs, crane operators and riggers) and we take the request to vetted trade staffing partners. They screen the workers, stay the employer of record and quote their own rates. We bring you the options next to your equipment sourcing, so one request covers both. You pay nothing unless you take a crew.
