The event brought together procurement leaders from across Australia to explore how smarter procurement practices and innovative technology can drive cost efficiency and transparency.
The Challenge of Inflation and Supply Chain Disruption
The roundtable addressed the critical challenges facing Australian businesses, including persistent inflation, price volatility and ongoing supply chain disruptions. Participants discussed the need for a proactive and data-driven approach to procurement to mitigate these risks and maintain business continuity.
RACV’s Procurement Transformation Journey
A key presentation was delivered by Matt Setton, Head of Procurement at the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria (RACV). Setton shared insights from RACV’s procurement transformation, emphasizing the importance of data quality, phased implementation of change, and alignment of internal processes with enabling technologies.
Leveraging Technology for Procurement Excellence
The closed-door session facilitated the exchange of insights on advanced sourcing strategies, data-driven category intelligence, and the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation in streamlining decision-making and reducing manual processes. Discussions also centered on how enhanced visibility across the supplier lifecycle can strengthen compliance, improve Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance, and bolster organizational resilience.
JAGGAER’s Perspective on the Future of Procurement
Francesco Colavita, Global Vice President, Presales Consulting at JAGGAER, highlighted the transformative power of technology in procurement. “Technology is transforming the role of procurement from a transactional function into a strategic driver of business value,” Colavita stated. “With the right tools, data, and innovative technology, procurement teams can reduce maverick spend, unlock savings, and act as a value multiplier, while gaining greater supply chain visibility and strengthening governance and transparency across the organization. This enables procurement to identify savings opportunities faster, manage supplier risk more effectively, and ultimately deliver an effective procurement digital transformation.”
