Pactum Transform’s Procurement With Its Agentic AI Platform

Managing thousands of supplier relationships has always been one of procurement's biggest challenges. Each relationship carries its own contract terms, pricing structures, payment conditions, and renewal cycles, all of which require ongoing attention to maintain and optimise.

Agentic AI is changing that by deploying autonomous agents capable of executing complex, multi-step tasks, like negotiating contracts, without constant human oversight.

Pactum: Executing supplier negotiations at scale

Pactum positions itself as the leading AI procurement negotiation tool, offering agents that assist buyers and execute supplier negotiations at scale. Rather than replacing procurement teams, Pactum's agents work alongside buyers, guided by policies and strategies set by the procurement team, embedded directly in enterprise systems. 

Founded in 2019 with a vision to apply advanced negotiation science to create enterprise-ready agentic AI to handle procurement complexity, Pactum has delivered millions in documented savings, increased negotiation volumes by 500% and achieved widespread adoption by major Global 2000 enterprises across various industries.

Pactum to showcase its agentic AI

Joining AstraZeneca on stage at Coupa Inspire 2026, the two will showcase how AI agents are actively transforming procurement from insight to implementation inside a global enterprise environment. 

The session titled "From Insight to Impact: How AstraZeneca Is Changing Procurement with AI Agents” will feature key decisions, tradeoffs and lessons learned through the process of utilising AI procurement agents from AstraZeneca's Lidia Korbel, Procurement Technology & Insights Director and Kaspar Korjus, Co-Founder and CEO of Pactum.

"Most organisations are not struggling with procurement strategy; they are struggling with execution capacity," says Kaspar Korjus, Co-Founder and CEO of Pactum. 

"With AstraZeneca, we are demonstrating a real-world case study where autonomous AI agents have been activated to operate within clear policy enforcement to deliver outcomes that generate tangible business impacts."

The session will start at 11 AM PT on May 13, 2026, offering a practical inside look at how AI agents align procurement requests in real time to improve data quality, policy adherence and the ability to act on commercial opportunities across large supplier bases. 

Those that attend will see how agents autonomously negotiate in defined governance frameworks while delivering auditable, transparent outcomes that integrate directly into existing software.

"Joining Pactum at Coupa Inspire is a significant opportunity to show how agentic AI is being used to transform daily procurement processes," says Lidia Korbel, Procurement Technology & Insights Director at AstraZeneca. 

"AI solutions are new and powerful tools that, if used correctly with companies like Pactum, can produce results that we're proud to share with our friends and colleagues at Coupa Inspire."

Pactum and its collaboration with Coupa

As part of the company’s collaboration with Coupa, Pactum has been elevated to Platinum Partner status within the Coupa App Marketplace Program. 

The expanded partnership deepens Pactum’s integration with Coupa's enterprise procurement ecosystem, enabling organisations to identify savings opportunities, optimise supplier negotiations and reduce manual workloads.

"By embedding autonomous AI solutions directly into existing procurement platforms like Coupa, organisations can follow the success AstraZeneca has seen from harnessing AI technology to accelerate adoption and extend procurement execution without adding operational complexity," adds Kaspar.
