POs change 40% of the time after being placed. 

And when you have 100s of suppliers with 1000s of orders, the complexity and manual intensity of staying on top of order changes can be overwhelming.

Over the past few weeks, we started looking for powerhouses and rising stars in procurement and supply chain. The purpose of this initiative was to bring together peers from the industry that are progressive, driven and paving the way for the future of procurement. We'll be celebrating the class of 2024 in person later today. But this is just the start. We have exciting things lined up - stay tuned! PS. Link in comments to read about these changemakers and what they stand for 👏🏻

Euan Granger MCIPS sharing the difference between traditional ERPs and AI Infused ERPs - and what it means for post PO management.

The future of manufacturing ERP transformation relies on thoughtful, human driven AI implementation for procurement, production and finance use cases. Our customers are leveraging the power of ERP AI Agents without additional training and 3 month long implementations. In this webinar, you will learn: → Actionable intelligence for smarter decision-making for procurement, production and finance. → Real-world examples of automating repetitive tasks and breaking down silos. → Instant access to ERP data with natural language queries. → Proactive stock management with auto replenishment. → Solve strategic purchasing, inventory and financial issues with AI copilots. Join Anam Rahman and Nathan Bailey next Thursday @ 3PM BST where they share ways to scale ERP manufacturing processes with AI.

Procurement reads through 100s of supplier emails each day - ever miss a PO revision? It happens. All.the.time . On average, 40% of POs change after being raised in an ERP. (This stat climbs up higher in times of disruption) This is the current workflow we've seen after an order is raised 👇 100s of orders, 1000s of line items. Downloaded from an ERP to a spreadsheet. PO changes are managed via email and excel. Critical information often gets buried in an inbox. It's a lot to stay on top of. Things start getting messy really quickly. Meet Agent PO. He sits in your inbox, following up with suppliers on your behalf and tracking any changes to your orders. No more missed delivery dates or quantity changes. Agent PO spots them, alerts you right away. So you can manage by exception. See it in action below 👇 PS Hop on to kavida.ai and sign up for a demo if you'd like to learn more about how this works 👋

An exciting use case we've been working on with our partners at AIE - Advanced Innovative Engineering, (UK) Ltd. is the ability to query ERP and inventory datasets using natural language. 👉 To break down cross-departmental bottlenecks with instant order and inventory visibility. All departments can query Copilot to get instant answers to questions like: → What orders do I have coming in next week? → When do we have material X coming in? → Which of my orders are at risk? → What is the current status of Order X? (Integrating additional ERP and inventory datasets for queries like) → What item needs to be restocked? → Are there any expected shortages for material X? → What items do we need to place orders for and how much? → How should I handle this material stockout? Completely avoiding the need to navigate through multiple ERP screens or train people on a software to get the information they require. “You are literally just able to stick the copilot in front of somebody and say, just ask it a question and they get an answer. It’s incredible.” Nathan Bailey 🙏 More on the value this brings to procurement teams and internal stakeholders in the clip below 👇

Procurement teams spend 30% of their day chasing suppliers for unconfirmed orders. (If you are stuck doing this in your job, this post is for you) Most of this involves downloading spreadsheets from your ERP to identify which suppliers haven't acknowledged your orders. While sifting through email chains for order information, and following up via phone or email. It's a mundane, repetitive, non value adding admin task. The most widely used Agent PO automation trigger (which comes as no surprise) is the order confirmation workflow followed by the unconfirmed orders workflow. Agent PO sits in your inbox, and alerts you of unconfirmed orders that are 3 days, 6 days, and X days old. And follow up with your suppliers for you. This helps: 1. Set routine with your suppliers, a specific time of a specific day. They know what to expect once you place an order with them. 2. Never miss an unconfirmed order again. This enables you to focus on meeting your production schedules, managing the right inventory levels, and fulfilling customer demand. --- P.S. Agent PO has 100+ purchasing automation workflows that helps you automate parts of your job that you 'hate to do'.

In as little as 18 - 24 months, manufacturers that prioritised AI will see winning procurement teams 👇 These manufacturers will be delivering finished products 30% cheaper than their competitors. Our CEO Anam "Agent PO" Rahman and Tim Lawrence , Director Digital Supply Chain at Digital Catapult , took to the mainstage at the CIPS Futures Conference 2 weeks ago to speak on the art of what's possible in digital supply chains. 1 question that came up 👇 How does procurement go about adopting tech when the leadership isn't aligned on that same journey? There's two main questions to ask when testing out new tech: 1. Can you test it fast? 2. Can you test it cheap? If the answer is yes, and you can test it out for just 3-4 weeks with low risk, this is the best way to show what value there is to unlock. Manufacturing procurement teams don't have any other choice but to fight for tech adoption. Your career depends on it, and your company's competitiveness depends on it.

We are at the CIPS Futures Conference today! 👋 Our CEO Anam "Agent PO" Rahman will be taking to the mainstage later with Tim Lawrence to discuss the art of what's possible within the space of AI and tech for supply chain and procurement. What's on the agenda: → Why procurement should prioritise tech and how to strategically think about tech adoption. → How procurement can over come the challenges of getting the budget for their own tech platforms. → What procurement processes need reframing, and what opportunities you can use to do so. → Real-world case studies and an audience Q&A. Super excited for the day ahead!

Welcome to our live show! - Thanks for joining our exclusive live broadcast. Feel free to share your questions and interact with other participants in the chat.

One of the exciting use cases we’ve been working on with our partners at Dyer Engineering Ltd is the ability to automate mundane purchasing tasks 👉 eliminating manual intensive, repetitive purchasing tasks from their procurement teams. Things like: → Order confirmations. → Supplier follow-ups to build routine. → Document management of material certificates, invoices and delivery notes. → End-of-day shipping reports for goods in transit. 👉 and the ability for all departments to query that structured data in natural language, with questions like: → What orders will be received this week? → Which active orders have pending documents? → Which orders do I have for X material? → The arrival of specific components like 30mm X material More on the value this brings to procurement teams and internal stakeholders in the clip below 👇
