TURN TARIFF TURMOIL INTO SUPPLY CHAIN RESILIENCE USING AI
Alex continues:“ They ensure all information and activity is mapped to a single supplier record for high accuracy and easy accessibility by embedded agents anywhere in the S2P process.”
Ivalua’ s platform addresses these data challenges by ensuring all information and activity maps to single supplier records while integrating seamlessly with external information partners. This unified approach enables embedded agents to access comprehensive data at any point in the S2P process, delivering the accuracy and completeness AI requires to generate reliable insights and recommendations.
“ Standalone tools don’ t help if they’ re not integrated,” adds Jos.“ The key is end-to-end integration in your S2P platform so procurement can act in the flow of work.”
“ AI embedded in S2P workflows helps treat the data and take the necessary actions.”
The future of AI in procurement: From adoption to autonomy Looking ahead, AI is poised to play a dramatically expanded role in how businesses navigate trade policy and tariff volatility.
While actual usage of AI remains fairly limited at most companies, widespread adoption is inevitable. Companies that fail to embrace the technology risk falling significantly behind their competitors in an environment where speed and adaptability determine success.
Alex predicts a fundamental transformation in how procurement teams operate:“ We will see all companies adopt it or risk falling far behind their competitors. And usage within companies will expand to more use cases and become more autonomous.
“ We’ ll see businesses relying more heavily on AI to anticipate and model the impact of trade policy scenarios. It will also increasingly be taking action when policies shift, with humans selectively in the process based on the company and category.”
