Of course you are - being in procurement means you are ready for anything! One factor that keeps you ahead of the game is having the best people - your procurement team’s tribal knowledge keep’s you competitive. Who else knows which suppliers to use, for which purchases, and what is the right price to pay, this is what will keep you ahead of the game when it comes to serving your customers. But what do you do when your most trusted resource, your people, aren’t around any longer either due to labor shortages, unforeseen layoffs, or the leftover impact of the great recession.

We’ll discuss how to reduce the human risk associated with the loss of this crucial information in your organization and how embedded technology can help by:

• Mining your data based on historical transactions to understand the right supplier for the right purchase at the right time
• Removing the human factor when it comes to rote transactions so professionals can focus on what your organization values
• Using machine learning to help predict future purchases and ensure they meet the stringent standards of your organization
