The Principles
that guide us

Independent of features and functionalities, certain solution design principles are true across product modules.

User guidance

Helpful user guidance is the key to customer success

Navigating the complexity in Procurement requires more than knowing the obstacles. It requires a helpful co-pilot that guides us and provides valuable information along the journey. This is why user guidance is at the core of our user experience.

With our interview-style approach to developing category strategies, we guide category managers through the process and enhance it with impactful information contextualized for their unique situation. After all, helping them along the journey is what drives their impact.

AI enabled

Artificial Intelligence needs to augment the human experience

Cirtuo continuously aims to improve the quality of category strategies and enhance the user experience. To achieve this, we leverage the latest developments in Artificial Intelligence and develop use cases with high practical value for our users.

This way, AI is not a gimmick but effectively augments the capabilities of category managers.

Machine learning

Cirtuo applies Machine Learning to continuously improve the value lever recommendation algorithm based on user inputs and selected value levers (by category and industry) to increase the predictability of relevant value levers and ultimately improve decision-making.

3

Generative AI

Cirtuo leverages generative AI based on Large Language Models (LLMs) to turn user inputs (answers to guided questions, free text fields) into well articulated narratives for improved storytelling.

Collaboration

Strategies become actionable through business alignment and stakeholder collaboration

We believe that a strategy developed without stakeholder involvement and a clear line of sight with business objectives is a dead end. A lost opportunity at best, the reason for not becoming a strategic business partner at worst. The business stakeholder is our Alpha and our Omega.

Therefore, we have embedded engagement steps throughout the strategy development process, as part of the alignment of value levers, and for signing off strategies. We support this with collaboration tools like chat, notifications, and workflows to boost the efficiency in developing actionable strategies.

Certificates

We build a solution with enterprise grade security requirements in mind

Cirtuo is dedicated to the highest quality standards in product development and service execution.
To satisfy enterprise grade requirements, we therefore comply with management systems and processes in accordance with international standards and best practices for quality, information security, and cloud security.
