Streamline sourcing and procurement to integrate and simplify

Discover how innovative approaches and data-powered procurement can drive performance and efficiency.

Procurement executives are being asked to expand their focus beyond optimizing costs to enabling broader 360-degree value. As the stewards of third-party relationships, procurement leaders are in a pivotal position to help fuel growth through innovation with suppliers and build a resilient and responsible supply chain network.

How sourcing and procurement is changing

Gain an edge with procurement AI and automation

Companies can reinvent their procurement processes by integrating data, intelligent technologies and talent to deliver powerful insights and new ways of working. By automating repetitive tasks such as order processing, inventory management and shipment tracking, procurement organizations can reduce error and save time. Data analytics helps streamline operations, reduce waste, and drive innovation.

What you need to do

Many procurement teams are overwhelmed by data and how siloed it has become. It’s hard to extract value and actionable insights from so many internal and external data sources. Real-time analysis can provide actionable insights.

Enable autonomous, industry-focused touchless customer-to-cash operations driving personalized client experiences.

More mature operating models have the right talent in the right location at the right cost. With third parties doing more tactical work, retained procurement organizations need people with new skills, such as relationship managers, AI specialists and more.

Procurement organizations can’t expect to tackle complex market challenges with status-quo operations. Instead, they must build the capacity to flex with change and reinvent the way that procurement works and delivers value.
