WEBINAR ON DEMAND
Duration: 1 hour

Procurement departments have prioritized investments that speed up sourcing, but these innovations often have little to no impact on cost. Though discrete manufacturers often see productivity and cycle time improvements from AI, most still aren’t seeing any reduction in spend. In most cases, the problem isn’t the technology itself, but rather the data it uses to make decisions and present options.

Suppliers usually know what it costs to make a part; buyers often don’t. That gap makes negotiations uneven before they even begin. In this webinar, an expert panel from aPriori will examine how supplier negotiations and sourcing costs change when AI tools sit on top of design-to-source manufacturing intelligence. Attendees will learn:

• Why ERP, CLM, and spend analytics tools can’t determine what a part should cost.
• How better intelligence enables negotiation on factors beyond simple pricing.
• What it takes to elevate every buying agent to the level of the team’s foremost experts.
