The The Digital Sourcing & Procurement Course supports companies and team leaders to achieve substantial Savings

Participation in this course will increase agility and reduces risk when pursuing new savings opportunities

Due to the economic downturn in demand, previous sellers 'markets are changing into buyers' markets. This results in changed conditions per se and in particular falling procurement prices. If these circumstances are not taken into account, supplier relationships that have arisen in the previous boom to secure capacities cause excessive material and process costs, quality problems and an inadequately broad supplier portfolio. With suppliers, however, global overcapacities arise and can be used to reduce material costs.

The Benefits of Virtual Personal AI Assistants

"Efficiently Manage and Organize Information with AI-powered Tools" "Personalized Recommendations and Insights to Accelerate Learning" "Augmenting Human Capabilities, Not Replacing Them"


E-sourcing has become an increasingly popular way for businesses to source goods and services. However, the process can be complex and time-consuming, involving numerous steps and multiple stakeholders. To streamline the e-sourcing process, businesses are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) and personalized virtual assistants.


Your personal AI assistant for e-sourcing can simplify the process in many ways. Firstly, it can automate routine tasks, such as collecting supplier information and updating supplier databases. This saves businesses valuable time and allows employees to focus on more strategic tasks.


Secondly, AI-powered personal assistants can analyze vast amounts of data to provide businesses with insights and recommendations. By analyzing supplier data, market trends, and other relevant information, AI assistants can help businesses make better decisions about supplier selection, pricing, and negotiating terms.


Thirdly, AI assistants can provide real-time assistance to employees during the e-sourcing process. For example, they can answer questions, provide guidance on procurement policies and procedures, and provide instant feedback on supplier proposals. This helps employees make better decisions and reduces the risk of errors or oversights.


Moreover, AI assistants can improve collaboration and communication among stakeholders. They can streamline communication channels and keep all relevant parties informed about progress and decisions, reducing the risk of misunderstandings or miscommunications.


Finally, AI-powered personal assistants can learn and adapt over time. As they gain more experience and collect more data, they can improve their insights and recommendations. This allows businesses to continuously improve their e-sourcing process and achieve better results over time.


In conclusion, businesses can benefit greatly from using a personalized AI assistant for e-sourcing. By automating routine tasks, analyzing data, providing real-time assistance, improving collaboration, and continuously learning, AI assistants can simplify and optimize the e-sourcing process. This results in significant time and cost savings, improved decision-making, and better overall results for the business.
