Rujul envisions an“ intelligent enterprise operating system” that becomes more“ alive” over time, proactively surfacing opportunities rather than waiting for a human to run a report.
“ What that looks like in practice is agents that proactively identify opportunities for spend consolidation, flag supplier risks or performance issues before they become problems, and propose actions – like resourcing or engaging a secondary supplier,” Rujul concludes.
“ Agents that see working capital optimisation opportunities and suggest ways to improve payment terms, use virtual cards or leverage dynamic discounting to help the bottom line. Procurement leaders won’ t just be freed to do more, they’ ll be augmented to advise at a level that wasn’ t previously possible.”
