Procurement leaders are under pressure to deliver measurable value in negotiations that truly matter. These negotiations are more complex, more visible, and often decisive at board level. Yet preparation still depends too often on individual experience, gut feeling, and fragmented information.

PIECRAFT is a negotiation excellence platform that helps procurement teams prepare strategic negotiations, build capability, and assess negotiation maturity across the organisation.

Powered by TWS negotiation expertise and AI, PIECRAFT brings more structure, consistency, and visibility to how teams negotiate, helping organisations improve decision quality, achieve stronger outcomes, and build lasting capability.

    Use Oskar to brainstorm options, pressure-test arguments, practise scenarios, and explore possible counterpart reactions before the real negotiation.
  • Lessons learned and knowledge capture
    Close the loop after negotiations by capturing insights, outcomes, and market-making potential to strengthen future preparation.

Client benefits

The result is not only better prepared negotiations, but stronger negotiation capability across the organisation.

    Clear insight into negotiation readiness, priorities, and risk across suppliers and teams.
  • Better negotiation outcomes and ROI
    Stronger strategies and smarter use of leverage lead to more consistent results in high-value negotiations.
  • More confidence in critical decisions
    Teams and leaders know they are well prepared, aligned around a single source of truth, and ready to respond under pressure.
  • Lasting organisational capability
    Insights from each negotiation are captured and reused, improving performance over time.
Why PIECRAFT is different

PIECRAFT is built for strategic negotiation work, not transactional automation. It combines TWS negotiation expertise, game theory, behavioural insights and structured workflows to help teams prepare, practise and improve how they negotiate.

AI plays an important role, but it is not the differentiator on its own. With Oskar, AI is embedded in a negotiation-specific system shaped by TWS methodology, project context and best-practice negotiation logic, so teams receive structured support rather than generic answers.

  • Methodology before automation
    PIECRAFT guides teams through the strategic thinking that matters: levers, alternatives, bargaining power, strategy and storyline.
  • Human behaviour, not just data
    Game theory and behavioural economics are built into preparation, practice and decision support, reflecting how negotiations actually unfold.
  • AI as a co-pilot, not a replacement
    Oskar helps teams brainstorm, rehearse and challenge their thinking while keeping human judgement at the centre.

Powered by TWS’ proprietary negotiation expertise, PIECRAFT embeds decades of real-world experience directly into the platform. Every negotiation becomes an opportunity to learn, improve, and build lasting negotiation capabilities.
