The procurement layer AI agents have been missing

Ferryd is an agent-readiness engine that transforms fragmented, real-world supply markets into clean, verified, agent-queryable data. Any industry. Any supplier type. Starting with UK professional services, and built to expand into any vertical.

The Gap

AI agents can procure anything with a catalogue. Most of the real world doesn't have one.

AI procurement platforms are automating internal workflows like intake forms, approvals, and spend analytics. But they all assume structured catalogues and existing supplier relationships.

Surveyors, specialist consultants, solicitors, forensic accountants, and structural engineers all operate in markets that run on phone calls, relationships, and word of mouth. When an insurer needs a specialist loss adjuster, when a construction firm needs a chartered surveyor, or when a law firm needs a forensic accountant at short notice, AI agents hit a wall. The supply side is invisible to software.

Platforms like Coupa and ORO Labs are automating the buying process. Nobody is solving the supply side. Ferryd isn't competing with them. We're the layer they'd plug into.

How It Works

Agent-first infrastructure for the real-world supply chain. Three steps. One verified network. Zero phone calls.

Step 1: Any AI agent (via REST API, MCP server, or CLI) sends a structured procurement query with requirements, location, budget, and urgency.

Step 2: Ferryd's matching engine scores suppliers on proximity, availability, verification status, pricing fit, and response history. Only verified, qualified professionals are returned.

Step 3: The agent receives structured, ranked professional options with availability, pricing, and verification status, ready to act on immediately.

The Confidence Score

Every supplier profile carries a confidence score from 0.0 to 1.0, reflecting the depth, recency, and verification quality of the data behind it. Agents filter by confidence. Corporate clients set minimum thresholds. You don't just get matches, you get quantified trust.

Use Cases

Insurance and Claims

A property damage claim needs a chartered surveyor. A professional indemnity case requires a forensic accountant. Your agent queries Ferryd and receives verified, qualified professionals matched to the claim, with confidence scores, availability, and pricing.

Construction and Property

Source specialist consultants across projects: structural engineers, quantity surveyors, environmental consultants, CDM advisors. Your agent handles the procurement workflow through a single API.

Legal and Compliance

Expert witness testimony, specialist barristers, regulatory consultants. Ferryd's verified network returns qualified professionals filtered by specialisation, jurisdiction, and availability.

Your Vertical

Ferryd's engine is configurable by design. Trades, healthcare providers, logistics, agriculture: whatever fragmented market your agents can't reach today, Ferryd can be configured to make it queryable. One platform, infinite verticals.

For Developers

Three ways in. One verified network. Ferryd is infrastructure, not a portal. Integrate however your agent stack prefers.

Under the hood, Ferryd aggregates data from dozens of fragmented sources including professional body registers, regulatory databases, and business directories. It resolves entities, normalises schemas, and cross-references verification credentials. The API serves the crystal-clear output. You never touch the complexity.

REST API: POST https://api.ferryd.ai/v1/queries

Verified Supply

Every professional on Ferryd is vetted against authoritative registers including RICS, ICAEW, SRA, Law Society, ICE, and CIOB. Chartered status, practising certificates, PI insurance, and CPD compliance are all cross-referenced, not self-declared.

Ferryd's core is a configurable data ingestion engine that can transform any fragmented market into agent-ready data. Professional services is vertical one. The platform is industry-agnostic by design. One platform, infinite verticals.
