Dubai, UAE, July 31, 2026 – After spending more than 15 years leading procurement and supply chain operations across global organizations, Saubhagya Kothalawala has launched Navisight, an AI-powered procurement platform designed to address one of the biggest operational gaps in enterprise procurement: managing purchase orders after issuance.
Having most recently served as a Chief Supply Chain Officer, Kothalawala saw procurement teams spend thousands of hours every year chasing suppliers for updates through emails, phone calls, WhatsApp, spreadsheets, and other disconnected tools.
While ERP systems record transactions, they often leave procurement teams to manually manage supplier communication and execution between purchase order creation and goods receipt.
That experience became the foundation for Navisight.
From Supply Chain Leader to AI Founder
Built in Dubai, Navisight acts as an AI procurement agent that automatically follows up with suppliers, tracks delivery commitments, detects potential delays, and alerts procurement teams before issues affect operations.
“Procurement teams have invested heavily in ERP systems, yet much of the daily execution still depends on manual follow ups,” said Saubhagya Kothalawala, Founder and CEO of Navisight.
“We built Navisight because procurement professionals should spend their time making strategic decisions, not sending reminder emails or chasing suppliers for updates. AI can now handle that repetitive work while giving teams complete visibility into every purchase order.”
The company was founded after Kothalawala left corporate leadership to build the solution he wished had existed throughout his own career.
Drawing on years of experience managing complex global supply chains, he designed Navisight specifically for procurement professionals who struggle with fragmented supplier communication and limited visibility into execution.
AI That Keeps Every Purchase Order on Track
Unlike traditional procurement software that focuses on transactions, Navisight focuses on execution after the purchase order is released.
The platform integrates with existing ERP systems and communication channels including SAP, QuickBooks, Gmail, Outlook, Microsoft 365, WhatsApp, and WeChat, allowing businesses to automate supplier coordination without changing their existing procurement processes.
The platform continuously monitors every purchase order from PO to GRN by communicating with suppliers, tracking delivery commitments, identifying discrepancies, and highlighting risks before they become costly delays. Procurement teams receive a centralized view of every active purchase order, allowing them to prioritize exceptions instead of manually checking order statuses.
Building the Future of Procurement from Dubai
Kothalawala recently relocated to Dubai to establish Navisight’s regional headquarters and has joined the Dubai Founder HQ community, reflecting the company’s commitment to building from one of the world’s fastest growing technology ecosystems.
“The GCC is rapidly embracing enterprise AI, and procurement is one of the areas with enormous untapped potential,” Kothalawala added. “Our vision is to help organizations move beyond reactive supplier management and create AI driven procurement operations that improve efficiency, reduce risk, and strengthen supplier collaboration.”
Navisight serves procurement and supply chain teams across industries that rely on timely supplier deliveries and accurate purchase order execution. By reducing manual coordination and improving visibility, the platform helps organizations improve operational efficiency while minimizing supply chain disruptions.
As AI adoption accelerates across the Middle East, Navisight aims to become the intelligence layer between enterprise procurement systems and supplier networks, enabling procurement teams to operate with greater speed, transparency, and confidence.
