Thank you for the invitation, however I'm not an expert in this domain.
An erp remains a software no matter how complicate it is. Under this term, put peanuts in - get s@#t out. Furthermore, no software can be a decision maker software. Decisions are made by humans because there are a lot more to consider than the price the incoterms the delivery times etc. when it comes to awarding a supplier.
Don't fool yourself that a software can do your work instead of you. The responsibility is always on purchasing professional's back, that' why you need always to be responsible, ethical and careful.
