“ This is a very ambitious project we are doing with Pegasystems . Today we call it Autonomous Procurement , however , we expect it to quickly expand beyond procurement to a truly integrated and automated supply chain ecosystem ” Plaza- Bartsch says . “ We ’ ve worked hand-in-hand with our category teams to shape the user journeys in the procurement space as a start , and on this basis we are beginning to add on the capabilities that make buying simpler and faster for the business , while also creating competitive tensions . Our ambition is that this becomes a fully autonomous , end-toend solution , where everything from supplier selection , to contracting and risk management happens automatically , all on the platform . We are moving here clearly from a digital-first to a digital-only mindset .
“ We are very proud to have launched our MVP ( minimum variable product ). This is truly agile development where we are getting to see how the product shapes every other week ” Plaza -Bartsch adds . “ The platform is still in its early stages and needs greater human oversight to function properly than when it is complete , but having an MVP up and running has been an important step in solidifying Vodafone ’ s leadership position .
