“Handing over execution doesn’ t mean handing over control”
Joel Hyatt CEO Globality
“ During the supplier negotiation process, suppliers log into the supplier portal. They can upload supporting documentation like proposals, the pricing sheet and any other relevant materials. Then they chat with Glo just like they would chat with someone the company’ s procurement team. Glo isn’ t just looking at price; it’ s considering all your objectives. That could be timing, quality, risk, or price.”
Are procurement teams ready for autonomous sourcing? Handing over execution is still a genuine trust leap for a CPO, and Joel does not pretend otherwise.“ Not everybody’ s ready to hand the keys to AI and not every sourcing event carries the same risk. And that’ s okay,” he says.“ Teams pick the right mode for each event based on risk, value and governance.”
Trust in autonomous execution has been a fundamental design consideration for us from the beginning, and it starts before the event ever begins.”
Five things happen underneath every Autonomous Mode event, according to Joel:
Explainability – Glo documents every decision, its scoring and its reasoning in a full decision trail as the event happens, not just after the fact.
Transparency – The team can watch supplier conversations unfold in real time instead of getting a summary after the sourcing event is completed.
Escalation – If Glo hits a situation outside its guardrails, or needs more context than it has, it stops and asks the sourcing manager before continuing.
