How AI ChatbotsAre Changing The Procurement
Process Landscape And Assess
We take a focused look athow AI Chatbotsare changing the procurement
process landscapeand assess how it has the potential to become a major
business game-changer.
Defined as “the capacity of a computer to perform operations analogous to
learning and decision making in humans,” conversational AI has the potential
to engage people more resourcefully.
Conversational Interface (CI), commonly referred to as Chatbotsinvolves
verbal and written communication akin to chatting with a human.It is
endowed with the feature of context-aware memory that allows it to
remember previous conversations with the same person. Procurements are
using chatbotsto not only restructure the people-to-business linkage but
also to turn it into a viable and effective customer service feature.
Conversational systems with Natural Language Processing
(NLP) enhance the user experience by allowing buyers to
interact in the language of their choice.
It has the capability to perform and replace manual
complicated tasks and can offer recommendations based on
past transactions.
Conversations boost usability, enhance comfort in use, and
build a rapport with end users.
One of the major digital impacts on businesses in the near
future will be from Artificial intelligence. It is imperative that
organizations gear up to be AI-ready to capitalize on first-mover
advantages.
Traditional Procurement: Manpower-Intensive
and Costly Paperwork Processes
Procurement functions have traditionally been saddled with heavy
manpower resources, cumbersome paperwork processes, and
burdened with substantial administrative costs.
This is one of the major reasons that AI is increasingly being
incorporated into the procurement process. Procurement
departments are open to testing and implementing a multitude of
technological solutions, be it theInternet of Things using AIor
testing withblockchain, they sure are seeking viable solutions to
enable better and faster work optimization.
COVID-19 has in its wake opened up newer avenues of incorporating
the latest technologies rapidly and making systems and processes
more automated, resource-optimized, and result-oriented.
Automating Invoice Processing and
Approval of Proposed Purchases
A survey conducted by Ivaluashowed that two of the biggest areas
having the greatest potential for automation are Invoice Processing (51%)
and approval of proposed purchases (35%).
Procurement software will lean towards AI-based invoice automation.
This will allow the transfer of mundane, daily tasks like invoices
contracts checks, purchase orders, recordkeeping, etcto a digital
assistant. This will free up the time and resources spent by the
employee and allow him to focus on high-value work.
Chatbotswill play a larger role in influencing buyers on what and when
to buy based on consumption patterns. In the foreseeable future AI in
combination with predictive analysis may just implement purchases
autonomously and may also consider external factors like seasonal
changes which can help control damage from unused inventory.
Minimize Supply Chain Risks
However, there is a transition phase that needs to be considered.
Procurement departments must align themselves to reduce their
dependence on labor-intensive processes and match consistent
data to fit in with intelligent automation. There are many
emerging technologies that are helping to bridge the gap and
enable a seamless transition model.
Listed here are some ways that AI could impact procurement
models making them more resourceful and effective.
Minimize Supply Chain Risks
Supply chain risk is a bottleneck point for buyers.
Incorporating technology will go a long way in easing the
pressure.It will enable companies to have control of
suppliers via verified data and in association with
predictive analysis they can create supplier risk profiles
and risk events.
As supply chains update their software to automate POs it
will allow seamless collaboration between procurement
and vendors, reduce order times, and execute supply
chain operations more effectively and on a real-time
basis.
Propel the procurement department as a
Bottom Line Influencer
As procurement departments incorporate a data-focused approach, and add
more value to the organization, it will move swiftly from being seen as only a
support department to having a strategic impact on the bottom lines.It is
estimated that AI may help procurement attain 15-25% savings on addressable
spending.
Technology is changing the business landscape at an exponential rate.
Enterprises are in a complex race to incorporate the latest trends and
technologies to stay at the top of their game.
As AI progresses, it will create path-breaking collaborations and will take the
experience levels to a new high. Co-boticswill be the scene of the near future
where the coupling of humans and robots will deliver tremendous results.So
as purchase departments commence the journey towards becoming AI-
empowered, many opportunities will surface to catapult the procurement into
a more strategic role that can deliver reliably higher value.
