Category Management + AI in Action

Today supply chain practitioners utilise AI more broadly through GenAI as the &ldquo;interface&rdquo; to user engagement with massive data analysis and subsequent actions and recommendations in making the supply chain more resilient with higher level continuity factors and insulated from disruptive change. As we look to the future, SAP envision a journey of technological, process and data advancements that will usher in the autonomous era of procurement &amp; supply chain management software. This era will be defined by software that not only analyses and recommends but also has the ability to autonomously execute decisions through Agentic AI. This powers supply chains &amp; procurement to operate with minimal human intervention, allowing for greater efficiency and responsiveness to changing market conditions. We are now at a point where the end-state of autonomy is within reach. This will revolutionize the way supply chains are managed.
