Applied AI in Procurement
Incorporating applied AI in procurement can significantly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of procurement processes. AI technologies can automate routine tasks, analyze vast amounts of data to identify patterns and trends, and provide insights that support strategic decision-making. Here are some ways AI can be applied in procurement:

• Spend Analysis: AI can analyze procurement data to identify spending patterns, categorise expenses, and highlight opportunities for cost savings.
• Supplier Risk Management: AI can assess supplier risk by analyzing data from various sources, including financial reports, news articles, and social media.
• Contract Management: AI can automate the review and management of contracts, ensuring compliance with terms and identifying potential issues.
• Demand Forecasting: AI can predict future demand based on historical data, helping organisations optimise inventory levels and reduce waste.
• Sustainability Assessment: AI can evaluate the environmental and social impact of procurement decisions, helping organisations make more sustainable choices.
