<p>纽约，2026 年 5 月 21 日（GLOBE NEWSWIRE）——Pivot，采购的人工智能操作系统，今天宣布在 B 轮融资中筹集了 4000 万美元，使自 2023 年公司成立以来的总融资额达到 7000 万美元。此次超额认购的融资由 Forestay Capital 和 Notion Capital 主导，Greyhound 及采购行业资深人士参与，包括前 Ariba 全球销售副总裁和 EcoVadis 创始人，以及现有投资者 Hedosophia、Visionaries Club 和 Emblem。</p>
<p>这笔资金将加速 Pivot 的自主 AI 能力的进一步发展，拓展新的企业市场，并深化与复杂企业环境中的 ERP 和财务系统的集成。</p>
<p>Pivot 目前在 25 个以上的国家运营，服务于包括 DoorDash、Lemonade 和 Flix 在内的企业客户，每年处理 30 亿美元的发票。Pivot 的客户增长反映了企业对结合自主 AI 能力与财务严谨性的采购平台日益增长的需求。</p>
<p>DoorDash 选择 Pivot 来支持其欧洲实体，并与 Pivot 合作增强其当前采购系统在信息收集和供应商入驻流程中的部分功能。这一合作反映了对能够支持复杂运营环境并与现有系统集成的灵活解决方案的需求。</p>
<p>“Pivot 因其能够支持复杂的运营需求，同时无缝融入我们现有环境而脱颖而出。对于 Wolt 及相关的信息收集和供应商入驻工作流程，我们看到了提高速度、灵活性和用户体验的机会。”——DoorDash 首席会计官 Gordon Lee</p>
<p><strong>传统软件和现代信息收集工具无法解决采购问题</strong></p>
<p>对于大多数企业而言，采购仍然是自动化程度最低的职能之一。支出承诺通过不相连的过时系统、电子邮件线程、电子表格和手动审批链流转，导致财务团队在承诺做出后很长时间内都无法获得清晰的可见性。这导致了困难的结算、预测能力减弱，以及团队花费过多时间在对账上，无法将业务计划支出与账本记录的支出进行有效对比。</p>
<p>传统采购平台长期以来承诺解决这一问题。但它们往往带来痛苦的实施过程、繁重的管理开销和僵化的架构，增加了更多摩擦而非减少。新一代的信息收集和编排工具改善了前端用户体验，但未能解决数据架构和 ERP 集成的挑战。附加在这两者上的 AI 功能在企业中大多未能发挥作用，受到底层数据碎片化和系统不连通的限制。</p>
<p>“企业采购早已迫切需要一场代际变革。Pivot 是少数几家构建自主 AI 优先平台的公司之一，具备定义未来十年这一类别的架构、客户吸引力和时机。我们为支持这样一个强大而富有远见的创始团队而感到自豪，他们正在重塑企业采购的运作方式。”——Forestay Capital 合伙人 Deborah Pittet</p>
<p><strong>为采购而构建的 AI 操作系统</strong></p>
<p>Pivot 填补了传统平台与轻量级信息收集工具之间的空白，提供了一个从记录系统构建的企业级 AI 操作系统。该平台管理完整的采购生命周期——采购、审批、购买、发票、支付、预算、费用和报告——在一个现代化的平台上。</p>
<p>该平台在保持 ERP 完整性的同时，使采购和财务团队能够实时了解承诺支出，避免其成为潜在风险。自主工作流配置、与数十个 ERP 的实时集成以及对复杂多实体环境的支持，使组织能够在保持更强财务纪律的同时加快速度。</p>
<p>对于 Pivot 而言，这笔融资标志着财务和采购领导者对控制思维的转折点。</p>
<p>“财务和采购领导者告诉我们同样的事情：他们不需要另一个工作流层。他们需要在问题出现之前了解业务承诺的支出。Pivot 为企业提供了这种可见性，借助自主 AI 将手动工作转变为机器的负担。这笔融资使我们能够将这种方法带给更多客户、更多市场和更复杂的企业环境。”——Pivot 联合创始人 Marc-Antoine Lacroix</p>
<p>投资者将 Pivot 视为在一个传统竞争者未能现代化的市场中定义类别的企业投资。</p>
<p>“采购是最后一个仍在等待为 AI 时代重建的主要企业职能之一。该类别被依赖繁琐手动流程的传统解决方案主导。Pivot 是唯一一个从记录系统开始重新构想这一领域，以服务自主工作流的参与者。拥有端到端的数据层使自主 AI 能够在采购工作流程中完全上下文地运作。Pivot 正在做的事情是颠覆性的，我们很高兴能成为其旅程的一部分。”——Notion Capital 合伙人 Jessica Thomas</p>

</div><p>DoorDash selected Pivot to support its European entity, and is also working with Pivot to enhance parts of its current procurement stack for intake and vendor onboarding processes.

</div><p>&#34;Pivot stood out for its ability to support complex operational needs while seamlessly fitting into our existing environment. For Wolt, and related intake and vendor onboarding workflows, we saw an opportunity to improve speed, flexibility, and user experience.&#34; – Gordon Lee, Chief Accounting Officer, DoorDash</p>

</div><p><strong>Neither legacy software nor modern intake tools have fixed procurement</strong></p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p><strong>传统软件和现代信息收集工具无法解决采购问题</strong></p>
</div><p>For most enterprises, procurement remains one of the least automated functions. Spend commitments travel through disconnected, outdated systems, email threads, spreadsheets, and manual approval chains, leaving finance teams with limited visibility until long after commitments have been made. This results in difficult closes, weakened forecasting, and teams spending too much time reconciling what the business planned to spend with what was recorded in the books.</p>

</div><p>Legacy procurement platforms have long promised to fix this. Too often, they deliver painful implementations, heavy administrative overhead, and rigid architectures that introduce more friction than they remove. A newer generation of intake and orchestration tools has improved the user experience at the front end, but leaves the data architecture and ERP integration challenges untouched. The AI features bolted onto both have largely fallen flat across enterprises, constrained by the fragmented data and disconnected systems underneath.</p>

</div><p>“Enterprise procurement has been overdue for a generational shift. Pivot is among the rare companies building an agentic AI‑first platform, with the architecture, customer traction, and timing to define this category for the next decade. We are proud to be backing such a strong and visionary founding team as they reshape how enterprises run procurement.” – Deborah Pittet, Partner, Forestay Capital</p>

</div><p>Pivot fills the gap between legacy platforms and lightweight intake tools with an enterprise-grade AI operating system built from the system of record up.

</div><p>The platform maintains the integrity of the ERP while giving procurement and finance teams real-time visibility into committed spend before it becomes exposure.

<div class="lb-trans"><p>对于 Pivot 而言，这笔融资标志着财务和采购领导者对控制思维的转折点。</p>
</div><p>&#34;Finance and procurement leaders tell us the same thing: they don't need another workflow layer. They need to know what the business is committing to spend before it becomes a problem at close. Pivot gives enterprises that visibility, reinforced by agentic AI that shifts the manual grind from a human burden to a machine burden. This funding lets us bring that approach to more customers, more markets, and more complex enterprise environments.&#34; – Marc-Antoine Lacroix, Co-Founder, Pivot</p>

</div><p>&#34;Procurement is one of the last major enterprise functions still waiting to be rebuilt for the AI era. The category is dominated by legacy solutions that rely on cumbersome manual processes. Pivot is the only player reimagining it from the system-of-record up to serve agentic workflows. Owning the data layer end-to-end is what lets agentic AI operate inside the flow of procurement work with complete context. What Pivot is doing is game-changing, and we're excited to be part of its journey.&#34; – Jessica Thomas, Partner, Notion Capital</p>
