Key Features

Samsung SDS Caidentia differentiates from most SRM solutions by covering the full procurement lifecycle: Design, Source, Procure, and Pay — where most SRM solutions cover only Source, Procure, and Pay.
'Design-to-Pay' Solution

Caidentia is the only end-to-end solution portfolio that enables design, source, procure and pay processes across the entire product lifecycle.
Caidentia enables early supplier engagement and accurate target cost estimation of new parts simultaneously with product development. The process continually identifies cost-saving opportunities at every stage and brings solutions to market faster.

Embedded Proven Gen AI

Generative AI revolutionizes the fundamentals of sourcing and contracting with IBM watsonx.
Complex RFQs with hundreds of questions are qualitatively evaluated and scored in minutes.
Contract language is validated to ensure compliance with predefined policies as well as relevant legal standards.
Natural language processing (NLP) means that AI can search for specific phrases or keywords across all of the contracts.

New Approach for Cost Reduction

Caidentia provides a cost breakdown for custom parts during sourcing and design. Based on a detailed understanding of all cost components, such as materials, manufacturing methods, tools, consumable labor, overhead, and more, we can pinpoint where costs can be reduced.
The cost breakdown provides opportunities for more in-depth negotiations as well as promoting joint initiatives for process improvement and further cost reduction.
