What is Claight Hub?
Claight Hub is an AI-powered procurement intelligence platform that brings category intelligence reports, commodity price forecasts, should-cost models, supplier intelligence and market signals into a single workspace. Procurement functions typically stitch these together from several vendors and internal spreadsheets. Claight Hub lets a category manager move from market context to a sourcing decision without leaving one platform.
Key features of Claight Hub
- Category intelligence reports- Structured, regularly refreshed category reports covering market size, demand drivers, supply landscape, cost structure, pricing dynamics, regulation and sourcing strategies across thousands of direct and indirect categories.
- Commodity price tracking and forecasts- Historical price series, latest movements and forward-looking forecasts for commodities, chemicals, metals, agricultural inputs and energy, with an inflation monitor that tracks basket costs against headline indices.
- Should-cost models- Bottom-up cost models that break a product into raw materials, conversion, energy, labour, logistics and margin, giving buyers a fact base for negotiations and price challenge.
- Supplier intelligence- Supplier profiles, financial signals, sanctions and risk screening, along with live news and event monitoring for qualifying and monitoring the supply base.
- Market signals- Country and category level signal cards that surface supply disruptions, policy changes, price moves and capacity announcements as they happen.
- Inrity AI assistant- A built-in AI analyst grounded in the Hub’s own content that answers category questions in plain language, drafts summaries and points buyers to the underlying data.
- Secure document delivery- Watermarked, access-controlled report viewing and e-signature workflows for sharing deliverables with stakeholders and clients.
What is Procure 360?
Procure 360 is an AI trade intelligence platform from Procurement Resource that turns global import and export records into supplier discovery and negotiation insight for procurement teams. Category managers are routinely asked who else is buying a material, where it is coming from, at what landed price, and how that picture has shifted over the past year. Answering those questions today means working through customs records one country at a time, reconciling inconsistent product descriptions and units, and waiting days for an analyst to assemble a view that is out of date on arrival.
Procure 360 collapses that process into a single search. A buyer enters an HS code or a plain product description, selects the markets and the period of interest, and receives a consolidated view of shipments, trading partners, volumes and values within seconds. The result is faster supplier discovery, stronger negotiation positions grounded in actual transaction data, and early visibility of supply shifts before they show up in price.
Key features of Procure 360
- Multi-country trade coverage- Shipment-level import and export records from more than 70 country sources, searchable from one interface rather than market by market.
- Search by HS code or product description- Teams can start with a tariff code or simply describe the material. Product-name search works across local-language customs descriptions, so a buyer does not need to know how a product is labelled in each country.
- Overview dashboard- Headline shipment counts, traded value, volume and average unit value for the selected product and period, with trend lines that show how the market has moved month by month.
- Importer and exporter analysis- Ranked views of the companies buying and selling a product, with their share of trade, shipment frequency and counterpart countries. Sourcing teams get a ready-made long list of qualified suppliers and a view of who their competitors are buying from.
- Market volume analysis- Volume and value broken down by origin and destination country, port and HS sub-code, so teams can see where supply is concentrated and where alternative sources exist.
- Multidimensional analysis- Cross-tabulation of any two dimensions, for example supplier by destination port or origin country by month, without exporting to a spreadsheet.
- Detailed shipment data- Row-level transaction records, including consignee, shipper, quantity, declared value, unit price and transport details, available for download.
- Normalised and translated records- Local-language customs entries are translated into English and quantities are standardised to common units, so figures from different countries can be compared directly.
- Inrity AI assistant- The same embedded AI analyst that powers Claight Hub, answering questions about the loaded trade data in plain language and helping a buyer move from raw shipments to a sourcing recommendation.
- Cost-controlled data access- Every search returns a free sample and an estimate before full records are retrieved, so teams know what they are getting and can control spend on large pulls.
One procurement intelligence stack
Claight Hub and Procure 360 are designed to work together. A team builds its understanding of a category in Claight Hub, then uses Procure 360 to identify and validate the specific suppliers behind that market using real trade flows. Procure 360 is accessible from within Claight Hub, so the move from category view to supplier view is a single click.
“Procurement teams have had access to market data and trade data for years, but it has sat in separate tools, most of them built for analysts or compliance teams rather than for buyers,” said Ayush Mukherjee, Vice President, Procurement Research at Claight. “Claight Hub and Procure 360 are built around the questions a category manager actually asks. What is happening in my category? Who supplies it, from where, at what price? And how is that changing? Being shortlisted by Procurement Leaders is a strong signal that this is the right direction, and we are looking forward to putting both platforms in front of the DPW community in Amsterdam.”
