Thousands of parts, years of purchasing data, and a small team with limited time to analyze it all. Where are the savings hiding, and how can AI help you find them?
Join Ryan Smith, Senior Strategic Sourcing Specialist at Dimplex Thermal Solutions, to hear how a U.S. manufacturer uses AI to uncover sourcing opportunities and prepare for supplier negotiations. Drawing on 25 years of buying experience, Ryan shares what worked, what didn't, and how he decides which AI recommendations to trust.
Johannes Groll, Chief Product Officer at Tacto, a Sequoia-backed procurement platform that serves customers like Dimplex Thermal Solutions, Index Corporation and Makino, then demonstrates how AI turns spend and supplier data into savings opportunities, from comparing part prices to challenging supplier price increases. That includes the hardest case: custom parts with no catalog price, where comparable parts and market indices help buyers estimate what a part should cost and walk into negotiations with a defensible number.
