How Maverick Cut Purchasing Errors by 99% and Unlocked ~$500K

The challenge

Maverick was losing thousands of dollars to small, repetitive mistakes in quoting and purchase-order processing. None of them looked catastrophic on their own, a wrong price here, a duplicated order there, but across hundreds of transactions they added up to a serious, ongoing drain on margin. Worse, every error cost time to catch and correct, slowing the whole purchasing function down.

What we did

We didn't rip out Maverick's systems and start over. We designed a lean, AI-assisted purchasing workflow that sat on top of how the team already worked:

• Structured the quoting and PO process so data flowed in one direction instead of being re-keyed.
• Added automated checks that flag pricing and ordering anomalies before a PO goes out, not after.
• Removed the manual handoffs where most of the small errors were creeping in.

The results

• PO processing time cut by 40%.
• Ordering and quoting errors reduced by ~99%: the slip-ups were nearly eliminated.
• An estimated extra ~$500K over the next few years from recovered margin and reclaimed time.

The point wasn't a flashy tool. It was removing the friction and the failure points from a process the business runs every single day.

Losing "a little" on every transaction is the most expensive kind of problem, because it hides. Once you make the workflow catch its own mistakes, the savings compound.
