Relay is an AI-first community procurement platform designed to simplify how residents discover suppliers, compare prices, and coordinate everyday purchases. Today, households often source products independently, spending time searching for suppliers, comparing prices, and managing fragmented orders. Relay aims to bring this process into one intelligent platform. Residents can describe their requirements in natural language, and Relay converts them into structured procurement requests. Its workflow supports product and quantity understanding, quantity validation, supplier discovery, quote comparison, procurement selection, order coordination, and final cost reconciliation. The platform demonstrates a coordinated procurement workflow through a Command Center and dedicated modules for missions, suppliers, quotes, orders, tracking, payments, and reconciliation. Relay is designed around transparent procurement decisions, accurate quantities, and better coordination between residents and local suppliers. Supplier quotes and certain fulfillment stages in the current demonstration are simulated, while the application showcases the intended end-to-end workflow. Our vision is to make local community purchasing smarter, more organized, and more accessible.
