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!

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 👇

How can manufacturing procurement teams use Copilot to make sure they 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗿𝘀? Here's what our Co-Founders Anam "Agent PO" Rahman and Sumit "Agent PO" Sinha had to say 👇 There's a million things that can wrong in your supply chain. It's humanly impossible to predict all of these external shocks and their impact across 100s of suppliers. 👉 Once you set up your workflow automations with Agent PO, all your active order & supplier data is now structured. 👉 Kavida's proprietary AI actively analyses over 1.5M news articles and 2.1M tweets across different languages in the context of a disruption to your suppliers. So you can get complete visibility and early alerts to potential risks to your supply chain. 👉  In addition to the alerts you receive, you can also query Copilot. Think of it like being able to talk to your supply chain, asking questions about your order and supplier information using natural language. Procurement can ask things like: → Which of my orders are at risk? → Are there any port risks i need to be aware of? → Which of my suppliers could be impacted by ESG issues? → What geopolitical risks is my Supply chain exposed to?
