Dave describes a particularly valuable application:“ We have a contract management tool with an AI model where you can upload the contract and it gets all the metadata out of it – notice periods, start dates and so on, which is very valuable”.
“ The contracts are managed by procurement. This way we can reduce time adding them to the database and, from a risk perspective ensure all contracts are managed, under control and reviewed.”
AI also supports supplier risk monitoring and spend pattern analysis, providing insights that might otherwise be missed in traditional top-down spend reviews.

“Procurement is now about technology and strategy, not just paperwork, and the result is a proactive, forwardthinking function”
