About
The domain of procurement is entering a new era. Here, AI agents transcend simple data analysis to autonomously act, decide, and fundamentally transform how businesses source and collaborate.

In this webinar, we will dive deep into the recent trend of Agentic AI within SCM and procurement, and illuminate how Samsung’s unique Agentic AI technology stack is reshaping business operations.

We will particularly focus on core use cases in direct procurement aimed at maximizing cost efficiency, fortifying supply chain resilience, and accelerating time-to-market.

By integrating the adaptive decision-making capabilities of Agentic AI with the predictive power of traditional machine learning, companies can unlock unprecedented levels of accuracy, speed, and business impact.

This session presents practical strategies and strategic advantages that procurement leaders can act on immediately.
