AI gives procurement teams real control over contractor costs and compliance
Procurement teams excel at sourcing and vendor strategy, but contractor oversight is still trapped in manual processes. AI is solving this by automating the fragmented workflows that create costly errors, compliance issues, and administrative waste.
Key findings from this paper
Manual work is error-prone and slow
Manual payment processes add 5 to 7 days to each cycle and increase error rates by 350 percent. Nearly 80 percent of data entry mistakes are caused by human error.
AI enables real-time, proactive oversight
Rate mismatches, duplicate billing, and scope changes are flagged as they happen. Teams no longer wait for audits to catch problems after the damage is done.
Change resistance is a bigger blocker than tech
Leaders want AI, but poor data quality, disconnected systems, and procurement’s limited role in contractor decisions slow adoption.
Learn how AI helps procurement turn contractor chaos into cost control, compliance, and confidence.
