🚀 #ProcurementExpertSeries In our latest edition of the #ProcurementExpertSeries, we dive into insights from Sam de Frates, Vice President of Procurement for Europe, CIS & Turkey at Mars, on exploring the future of global sourcing in procurement 🌍🚀 Drawing from Sam’s expertise, here are 3 key strategies to drive procurement transformation: 🔄Leverage automation for efficiency: Automate routine tasks to free up valuable time for strategic decision-making. By reducing manual efforts, procurement teams can focus on high-impact activities that drive business success. 📊Democratize data for better decision-making: Make data easily accessible and actionable across the organization. By centralizing spend, contracts, and sustainability metrics, teams can derive insights faster and more effectively, empowering smarter choices. 🤖Harness AI for competitive advantage: Utilize AI to handle complex datasets that humans alone cannot process efficiently. This allows procurement teams to make faster, data-driven decisions that enhance competitiveness and agility. At Procure Ai, we enable these transformations through our augmented use cases. Our Autonomous Spot-Buy and Tactical Sourcing reduce manual intervention and optimize procurement processes, empowering teams to focus on strategy. With our Unified Analytics and Supplier 360°, we centralize data to deliver real-time insights that drive informed decision-making. 💼✨ #ProcureAi #AIinProcurement #Automation #DataDemocratization #DigitalTransformation #Mars #SourcingInnovation Source: https://lnkd.in/dgT-S8WR
