Procurement is full of menial admin tasks that currently avoid us from focusing on strategic work. With automation, we will have time to focus on real issues, like derisking supply chains and sustainable procurement.

As automation takes over routine tasks, procurement professionals can focus on strategic initiatives, transforming the function into a value-generating force that drives competitive advantage across the organisation.

As AI technologies evolve, procurement and supply chain will shift from traditional transactional roles to strategic, value-driven functions that contribute significantly to overall business goals and competitiveness.

The strategic nature of procurement has profoundly changed. With AI as a co-pilot we are enabling procurement and supply chain professionals strategic capacity - the opportunity to actually ‘do-more-with-less’.

AI will enhance what we are able to do as supply chain professionals. Procurement teams that adopt these capabilities will be able to do far more, with far less resource available to them.
