Data Collection Agent

Collect supplier and internal data through a guided agentic workflow for data owners that work 24/7, auto-suggests, reminds and fills your intended questionnaire

Automate Data Collection easily

  • Start with publicly available information, then collect data from data owners, suppliers or portfolio companies, with guidance, auto-reminders and customizable data templates.
  •  Faster responses, less chasing - Send one secure link and let the agent handle the workflow 24/7, via a guided chat, context, and follow-ups, so you’re not coordinating responses over email.

  • Get complete, consistent answers - Instead of messy spreadsheets, suppliers can upload raw PDFs/XLS/CSV and the agent maps, standardises, and fixes common format issues  before ingestion.​ It also flags data quality issues and anomalies early so you can resolve them before they become calculation blockers.

Less chasing. More reporting-ready data

Run repeatable workflows for data collection, so your team can focus on decisions, not admin.

Manual

Email spreadsheets, chase suppliers

Manual outreach is done by email and spreadsheets, with endless follow-ups and inconsistent replies making the results hard to follow.

Clean, reconcile, repeat

Teams manually standardise units and formats across files making the process error-prone, slow, and painful when disclosure deadlines move fast.

Rework loops, weak audit trail

Issues surface late, triggering rework while spreadsheets make it hard to track changes and maintain audit-ready reliable evidence.
Agentic

Collect supplier data at scale

Send request once and let the agent guides suppliers in structured chat, accepts raw documents, and returns clean spreadsheet outputs for downstream use.

Ingest and validate automatically

The agent starts with public data, then asks suppliers only for what’s missing. Suppliers can upload raw PDFs/XLS, and the agent extracts what’s needed and pre-fills your structured template for review.​ It also supports column mapping and quick fixes for common upload errors.

Review, approve, and trace

Use approval workflows to approve and reject with comments, with uploads linked to tasks and logged in data history, with an easy to follow audit-trail.

Collection you can trust

Data Collection Agent handles sensitive supplier and internal data—designed so responses stay secure, data owners stay in control, and outputs remain structured for review.

Data owners don't need platform access

Suppliers and business units respond through a secure chat link—no login required. They control what they share, and their responses go only to you.

Documents stay with the submission

When data owners upload supporting files (invoices, reports),  documents are tied to their submission and accessible only to authorized users in your workspace.

Validation happens before submission

Agent checks for incomplete or contradictory responses and prompts data owners to resolve gaps—so you receive complete, structured data instead of chasing follow-ups.

Outputs stay traceable and organized

Every response is logged with timestamps and organized into downloadable spreadsheets—making it easy to audit who submitted what, and when.

Questions About our AI Agents

See how Unravel AI Agents simplify reporting, boost accuracy, and accelerate climate action.

See all Faqs

Can suppliers respond without logging into our system?

Yes—data owners can respond through a guided chat link sent to them. They answer questions step-by-step in a secure conversation, can upload supporting documents when needed, and don't need platform access or credentials to participate.


What happens if a data owner provides documents instead of typed answers?

The agent accepts documents as supporting evidence and uses OCR to extract relevant information for data collection. It then fills out the questionnaire on the data owner's behalf based on both chat responses and uploaded files.


Can I reuse the same questionnaire across multiple data collection runs?

Yes. You can save your questionnaire as a template, then reuse the same structure across future runs—standardizing how you collect data from different suppliers, business units, or portfolio companies without rebuilding from scratch.


Do I need to be a data collection expert to use the agents?

No—the workflows are guided. You define what data you need, and the agent handles the back-and-forth with data owners. You review the final outputs and can adjust validation rules or instructions per question when needed.


What do I get at the end of a data collection workflow?

Structured responses, ready to use in downstream workflows. The data is organized by your template structure, validated against your per-question instructions, and includes links to any supporting documents provided.
