Take procurement in Oracle ERP Cloud to the next level with AI.
Integration in 2-4 weeks via Oracle REST APIs. Automate sourcing, mass RFQs, and intelligent comparisons that Oracle Procurement Cloud doesn't offer.
The problem
Oracle ERP Cloud (Fusion) is a robust platform for finance, supply chain, and human resources, but its Oracle Procurement Cloud module lacks intelligent automation for the sourcing process: it doesn't offer mass RFQ delivery with tracking, doesn't generate AI comparisons, and supplier communication remains manual. Companies using Oracle end up managing sourcing outside the system.
The solution
Sourced complements Oracle ERP Cloud by automating everything that Procurement Cloud doesn't cover: from intelligent quote request delivery to automatic offer evaluation with AI, syncing approved purchase orders directly into Oracle.
Native integration with Oracle ERP Cloud via REST APIs for secure, real-time sync
Automated supplier communication: RFQ delivery, follow-ups, and reminders without manual intervention
AI-generated comparisons analyzing price, quality, delivery time, and terms to facilitate decision-making

Sourced + Oracle ERP Cloud vs. Oracle Procurement Cloud alone.
| Feature | Oracle ERP Cloud + Sourced | Oracle Procurement Cloud alone |
|---|---|---|
| Automatic RFQ delivery to suppliers | Mass delivery with tracking, reminders, and response portal | Available but limited, without intelligent tracking |
| AI-powered quote comparison | Multi-criteria analysis with automatic scoring and recommendation | Manual comparison without artificial intelligence |
| Simple supplier portal | Intuitive portal where suppliers upload quotes without needing an Oracle account | Oracle Supplier Portal requires extensive supplier onboarding |
| Local supplier base | Access to a global network of verified suppliers ready to quote | Only previously registered suppliers in the system |
| Implementation time | 2-4 weeks to be operational | Module included but complex multi-month configuration |
| Centralized supplier communication | Chat, automatic emails, and interaction timeline in one place | No communication channel integrated into the procurement flow |
| Negotiation automation | Automated negotiation rounds with AI-guided counter-offers | Completely manual negotiation |
| Licensing cost | A fraction of the cost of advanced Oracle Procurement modules | Expensive additional licenses for advanced sourcing features |
Frequently asked questions about the Oracle ERP Cloud integration.
Does Sourced replace Oracle Procurement Cloud?
No, Sourced complements Oracle Procurement Cloud. While Oracle handles purchase orders, receipts, and payments, Sourced focuses on automating the entire upstream process: sourcing, RFQ delivery, offer comparison, and supplier evaluation. Both platforms work together in an integrated manner.
What versions of Oracle ERP Cloud are compatible?
Sourced integrates with Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP (all current releases) through Oracle's official REST APIs. We can also work with hybrid setups where part of the system is in Oracle Cloud and part is on-premise.
How are permissions and data security handled?
The integration respects the roles and permissions configured in Oracle ERP Cloud. Sourced uses OAuth 2.0 authentication and all communications are encrypted. Sensitive supplier and pricing data is protected with the same security standards required by Oracle.
