Scenario: 50 Ergonomic Desk Chairs, $15K Budget, Net-30
User prompt: "We need 50 ergonomic desk chairs for the new floor - budget $15K, need net-30 terms"
Workflow
- Parse intent: product=office chairs, quantity=50, budget=$15,000, payment terms=net-30
- Search commercial furniture suppliers
- Verify stock, lead time, BIFMA compliance, warranty
- Send RFQs to three suppliers with net-30 ask and bulk tier request
- Compare quotes by total landed cost, terms granted, lead time, warranty
- Approval checkpoint: multi-quote review before committing a $13-15K spend
- Net-30 invoice or escrow payment
- Freight delivery with multi-box tracking
Why generic AI search is insufficient
A $15K commercial order needs supplier RFQs, payment-terms negotiation, and an auditable approval trail. Chat assistants stop at product links. Firestarter runs the procurement.
