Introduction to the Procurement Revolution

The landscape of purchasing and procurement has begun to change dramatically, thanks to advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs). Companies are moving towards digitizing their procurement processes to not only enhance efficiency but also to achieve cost optimization. Nice Eze, a company based in Minato, Tokyo, has taken a leap into this future with their latest service designed to facilitate a comprehensive digital transformation in the procurement sphere.

Challenges in Traditional Procurement

Many organizations still rely on older methods for managing procurement, creating a gap between past data and actionable insights. Addressing issues such as outdated approaches, reliance on paper documentation, and substantial quantities of unutilized data is crucial for modern businesses. Procurement teams often depend on the experiences of veteran staff, making them susceptible to inefficiencies and unnecessary costs.

Some persistent challenges include:

• - Difficulty in validating supplier quotes for fair pricing.
• - The cumbersome process required to locate historical prices, often requiring extensive research and wasting precious work hours.

These issues impact operational efficiency and significantly inflate costs. This is where Nice Eze’s new service comes into play.

The Offerings of Nice Eze's DX Support Service

Nice Eze aims to resolve these concerns through the introduction of their newly launched "Purchasing and Procurement DX Support Service." By harnessing AI and LLM technology, this service refines procurement operations, shifting from intuition-based decision-making to a more data-driven approach.

Solutions Provided

1. Digitization of Quotes and Blueprints:
The service enables the AI to accurately read historical quotes and blueprints, generating a searchable database that allows for quick access to valuable past data.
2. Conversational Data Retrieval:
Users can effortlessly obtain necessary information using natural language queries, such as inquiring about the lowest price for a specific part from three years ago.
3. Automated Estimation Assessment:
Newly acquired quotes can be automatically evaluated against extensive historical transaction data, allowing the AI to provide instant feedback on price validity and alerting users to excessively marked-up offers.
4. Cost-Saving Opportunities Identification:
The AI analyzes procurement data to highlight products and suppliers where price negotiations could yield potential savings.

Core Solution: Negotiation AI “Pactum” with New Feature “Price List”

Central to this support service is the autonomous negotiation AI “Pactum.” This innovative AI agent claims to negotiate with thousands of suppliers simultaneously, optimizing transaction conditions by adapting to specific business needs. Recently, new features have been added to Pactum, including the “Price List” solution, which helps to identify opportunities for reducing raw material prices through the analysis of past purchasing and quotation data. This expansion enhances the negotiation capabilities of Pactum, making it a more valuable asset for organizations seeking efficiency.
