Additional Information Why It Matters Procurement shapes how organizations connect with the world — from the suppliers they choose to the innovations they enable and the sustainability they deliver. Yet for too long, procurement has been confined to cost control, its full strategic potential untapped. Today, the world around us is changing faster than ever. Supply chains are being tested by disruption. Businesses are under pressure to become more sustainable, agile, and resilient — all while delivering growth. Procurement sits at the heart of this transformation and akirolabs was built precisely for this purpose. Our AI powered Category Management platform enables teams to analyze, strategize, and realize procurement strategies that are business-aligned, insight-driven, and measurable in impact.
