Amid shifting sustainability regulations and geopolitical pressures, procurement leaders are exploring how AI can strengthen processes, improve transparency and build resilience into supply chains.
As a key player in this shift, GEP, a global leader in global supply chain software and AI-powered transformation, will present an exclusive workshop focused on agentic AI at Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE London 2025.

AI in procurement processes
Procurement is changing as AI tools move from chatbot assistants to automated decision-making systems. Such technologies support procurement teams by accelerating sourcing decisions, flagging risks and helping organisations respond quickly to disruption.
GEP, a global provider of supply chain software and AI-powered transformation, develops tools that give businesses greater visibility across complex supply networks. Its software enhances collaboration between teams, optimises supplier management and improves operational efficiency.
Major companies such as Kellogg's, Macy's, Tesco and Costa Coffee already use GEP’s technology to support procurement and supply chain strategies.
By applying AI to tasks from sustainability reporting to source-to-pay processes, GEP enables procurement leaders to meet compliance demands while reducing costs. More than 1,000 companies in over 30 industries now rely on these solutions.
Strengthening supply chain resilience
GEP supports procurement teams in addressing uncertainty by combining AI with its global expertise.
Its technology helps organisations monitor risks, manage suppliers more effectively and adjust strategies in real time. This adaptability is vital as regulations shift and demand conditions fluctuate.
End-to-end visibility is a particular challenge for many businesses. AI-powered platforms from GEP integrate data across supply chains, allowing leaders to track performance, anticipate bottlenecks and improve collaboration between buyers and suppliers.
By connecting these functions, procurement leaders can reduce waste, improve compliance and secure supply continuity.
The focus on sustainability is also increasing. GEP’s solutions enable organisations to map emissions across supply chains, monitor supplier practices and report against regulatory requirements. This supports businesses in meeting environmental goals while maintaining operational efficiency.
Insights from global volatility tracking
In addition to providing software, GEP produces the Global Supply Chain Volatility Index in partnership with S&P Global.
Based on monthly surveys of 27,000 businesses worldwide, the index measures demand conditions, shortages, costs and backlogs.
The index reveals how procurement activity changes in response to geopolitical instability and regional pressures.
This intelligence strengthens GEP’s risk management services, enabling businesses to prepare for disruption with informed strategies.
By combining evolving AI tools with insights from global data, GEP positions itself as both a technology provider and a strategic advisor. Its role in supporting procurement leaders is expanding as supply chains face new risks and as expectations on sustainability grow.
Future-proofing procurement with agentic AI
GEP's workshop at Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE London will demonstrate how agentic AI is transforming procurement.
The session, From Chatbots to Change Agents: Futureproofing Procurement with Agentic AI, will take place from 1.30pm on Day 2 (24 September) of the event in Room 1 at the Business Design Centre.
Christine Nguo, Director at GEP, will dive into how agentic AI is transforming procurement, from chatbot assistants to autonomous decision-makers.
Smarter sourcing, proactive risk management and AI agents that act, learn and evolve will be at the heart of the conversation.
