Cognitive Procurement
Make better procurement decisions leveraging AI-based insights and recommendations.
Augmenting procurement teams

Harness the power of AI combined with human expertise to achieve highly accurate classified spend data. Utilize insights for optimizing tail spend and consolidating suppliers, allowing your business to stay ahead of the competition in a landscape of tight margins. Ultimately, present the most critical KPIs to CXOs as a single source of truth, ensuring clarity and informed decision-making.

Analyze spend behavior to identify optimization opportunities by obtaining actionable insights and recommendations. The insights are based on factors like purchase price variance, transaction delays, and exceptions in spend transactions. Recommendations focus on areas like spend segmentation and spend consolidation, enabling more effective management of resources and enhanced cost savings.

Continuously monitor live transactions in purchase orders (PO), purchase requisitions (PR), and invoices to identify anomalies at the source. This AI-based pattern mining approach eliminates the need for retrospective actions, allowing for proactive management of procurement-led issues. Additionally, you can act on the transactions directly through the same UI, ensuring compliance is maintained throughout the process.
