AI agents in procurement are intelligent systems powered by artificial intelligence (AI) that automate tasks, analyze data, and provide real-time insights. These agents assist in processes such as supplier selection, contract management, order fulfillment, and invoice processing. By leveraging machine learning and natural language processing, AI agents enhance efficiency, reduce errors, and accelerate decision-making. They also enable predictive capabilities, helping procurement teams anticipate market trends and manage risks. Through AI agents, organizations can streamline procurement workflows, improve supplier relationships, and transform procurement into a strategic function, driving cost savings and operational excellence.
