The SAP NOW AI Tour highlighted how business AI is being applied across procurement to drive efficiency, innovation and sustainability.

Speaking with Procurement Magazine in London, Andrew Daley, Managing Director, Digital Procurement & Supply Chain at Edbury Daley, shares insight from his work as a specialist recruiter in digital procurement and supply chain, and as founder of Agentic Procurement, a new initiative focused on building AI-ready procurement teams.
