U.S. manufacturers are being repriced faster than their cost data can keep up. Tariffs stack, raw material prices swing, and trade rules shift mid-quarter, and every one of those events hits margin and competitiveness directly. For procurement teams the job has changed: you need the true total landed cost of every part, origin cost, freight, logistics and duties, and you need it again as soon as conditions move.
Tom Yanowsky of KNF Neuberger shares what this looks like inside a U.S. plant that manufactures locally while sourcing from European sister factories: how tariff changes reshaped sourcing decisions, why the answer still lives in Excel instead of SAP, and where the localize-or-import calculation actually breaks down.
Johannes Groll, Chief Product Officer at Tacto, then shows how AI changes the economics of that work: Tacto Intelligence models complex supply chains and cost drivers across hundreds of thousands of parts at once, so buyers get landed cost transparency in minutes rather than weeks and can defend price increases with facts instead of arguments.
Includes live product demonstrations and time for audience Q&A.
