Arkestro's predictive procurement uses AI to speed up dealmaking

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Procurement processes are often slowed by misaligned incentives, leading to deals that close too late to meet business needs. A new approach called "predictive procurement," championed by Arkestro's Edmund Zagorin, uses AI to allow procurement teams to make offers to suppliers rather than waiting for supplier proposals. This method aims to anchor offers closer to the desired outcome and reduce negotiation delays, contrasting with traditional models where both buyers and sellers may have incentives to prolong the deal-making process. AI

IMPACT This approach could streamline enterprise procurement by leveraging AI to accelerate deal-making and improve efficiency.

RANK_REASON The article discusses a specific product/approach (predictive procurement) and its application in a business context, rather than a novel research finding or a major industry-wide release.
