PROCUREMENT TECHNOLOGY at the point of data creation, proactive error detection and dashboards for continuous monitoring.”
The adaptability of AI systems plays a crucial role in sustaining data quality standards:
“ Our AI evolves with the business: as new categories emerge, or terminology changes, the system adapts – keeping data quality aligned with operational and strategic needs.”
Effective governance balances central control with local flexibility:
“ Governance is embedded through configurable rules, audit trails and user roles, ensuring that standards are upheld globally while allowing local flexibility where needed.”
Overcoming organisational resistance Perhaps the greatest challenge in procurement data quality initiatives is not technical but organisational. Resistance to change, siloed thinking and competing priorities can undermine even the most sophisticated solutions.
Adriano offers a bold approach to overcoming these barriers:
“ Our advice is: think global from day one. With the power of our AI, you don’ t need to start small or local. We enable organisations to address data quality across all plants, business units and countries simultaneously, without waiting for a slow, step-by-step rollout.”
This comprehensive approach is particularly important for large, decentralised organisations:

silos are the root of the problem. We help procurement leaders drive alignment by offering a shared, harmonised view of data across the enterprise – breaking silos and building collaboration through facts.”
The result, according to Adriano, is a transformation in how teams communicate and collaborate:
“ When everyone sees the same data, the conversation changes.”
The message from Adriano and Creactives is clear: in the digital age, procurement excellence starts with data excellence. By leveraging AI-powered solutions specifically designed for procurement’ s unique challenges, organisations can transform their data from a liability into a strategic asset that drives better decisions, greater efficiency and competitive advantage.
