Konstantin von Büren
Co-Founder Procure Ai

Key Takeaways

AI in procurement requires structured data, clearly defined workflows, and governance guardrails before automation can scale. Successful implementation begins with harmonized ERP data. Intelligent intake processes ensure data is structured at the source, enabling compliant autonomous sourcing and negotiation execution.

  • Harmonized data is foundational for enabling AI automation.
  • Intelligent intake creates clean data at the source, minimizing reliance on cleaning it later.
  • Governance guardrails ensure compliant execution of autonomous sourcing events and negotiations.
  • Transformation of procurement requires orchestration of solutions and change management, not isolated tools.

AI is fundamentally changing procurement - and it has moved well beyond gimmick to delivering measurable results. Leading procurement teams are already using AI agents to automate Intake Management and conduct Autonomous Negotiations, achieving faster cycle times, better outcomes, and freed-up resources for strategic work.

Sam Bastone from Procure Ai and Jonjo Hobbs, Managing Director at Capita Procurement Solutions, cut through the hype and delivered practical insights on what it really takes to successfully deploy AI initiatives.

What you'll learn:

  • The essential prerequisites for implementing Intake Management and Autonomous Negotiations
  • Realistic timelines, costs, and resource requirements for going live
