## About
Project Materials is a B2B SaaS platform for automated piping procurement in the Oil & Gas EPC industry. We digitalize the procurement workflow from Material Take-Off (MTO) to Purchase Order (PO).

## What We Do
- Semantic normalization of piping material descriptions (pipes, valves, fittings, flanges, gaskets, bolts)
- Automated RFQ distribution to Approved Vendor Lists (AVL)
- Auto-generation of Technical Bid Evaluation (TBE) and Commercial Bid Evaluation (CBE)
- ERP integration (SAP MM, Oracle Procurement Cloud, Microsoft Dynamics)

## Key Value Proposition
- Reduce procurement cycle from 4-6 weeks to ~1 week
- 90% less manual work
- 75% faster cycles
- <1% error rate vs 18-40% manual entry error rate

## Target Audience
- EPC Contractors (Engineering, Procurement, Construction)
- Oil & Gas Companies
- Piping Suppliers (mills, stockists, distributors)

## Technical Features
- Rule-based normalization engine (no AI black box, 100% auditable)
- Recognizes 3M+ piping products in any format/language
- Supports ASME, API, EN, ISO standards
- 10+ languages supported

## Deployment
- Self-hosted option (your PostgreSQL, your SSO, source code provided)
- SaaS option (dedicated instance, your region)
