AI That Calls Vendors and Collects Real Quotes
Getting vendor quotes the traditional way means phone calls. A lot of them. You call five vendors, leave three voicemails, get two callbacks while you are in meetings, play phone tag for a week, and eventually collect enough numbers to make a comparison. By the time you have all the quotes the first vendor's pricing may have changed. Ceven eliminates that entire cycle.
When you submit a request, voice AI agents contact multiple vendors simultaneously. Each agent calls with your exact specifications, asks the right questions, handles the back-and-forth, and records the full conversation. The calls happen in parallel, not sequentially. While you move on with your day, the agents are working the phones.
Every call produces a structured output: the quoted price, the scope covered, any conditions or exclusions mentioned, and a full transcript you can review. The pricing agent then benchmarks each quote against market data and competing offers from the same campaign. You see which vendor is at market rate, which is above, and which is offering a loss-leader that might come with strings attached.
The agents also negotiate. When there is a meaningful spread between quotes, the negotiation agent re-engages vendors with leverage. It knows the competing prices. It knows the typical margin for that service category. It pushes for volume discounts, waived mobilization fees, and better payment terms. The same approach a seasoned buyer would take, but executed across every vendor at once.
The result is a complete comparison delivered to your dashboard within hours instead of weeks. Quotes ranked, transcripts attached, recommendations provided. No phone tag. No callbacks to chase. No wondering whether you talked to enough vendors to get a fair price.
