Introduction
The procurement and supply chain industry is transforming for the better, and 2025 will not be any different. Organizations' procurement teams are stepping into a more progressive role; they are no longer considered just a cost-cutting team but also important strategic value drivers.
As we look to step into 2025, procurement transformation will be driven by technological advancements, global challenges, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the growing need for sustainable practices. Procurement is no longer a transactional function but rather a strategic one.
Here are some key trends to watch in 2025 as per us at Eyvo:
Importance of Transparency in Procurement
With the demand for better technology and digitalization on the rise in purchasing and supply chains, transparency is the talk of the town. Companies want better visibility in their procurement processes while leveraging advanced reporting and analytical capabilities.
A cloud-based digital procurement like ours not only fosters trust among stakeholders in your company but also aids in complying with regulations and ethical sourcing standards.
Risk Management Due to Geopolitical Issues
Increasing geopolitical issues around the globe have made companies rethink their contingency planning and investment in
risk management strategies. Organizations invest in procurement and supply chain software, which helps them incorporate real-time data and manage risks.
Building a Resilient Supply Chain
Resilient supply chains have been highlighted due to the pandemic and other global events. Companies have realized the importance of a digital supply chain platform and building a vast network of suppliers rather than depending just on their local networks.
Importance of Customization
Good procurement solutions have moved on from one-size-fits-all. A good software solution means it can accommodate every business's
unique needs. Tailored solutions like Eyvo’s eBuyerAssist can enable your organization to address specific challenges and integrate seamlessly with existing solutions. This effectively drives better outcomes for your organization and is undoubtedly the future of procurement.
Sustainable Procurement
In 2025, the focus will shift from traditional cost-savings to creating long-term sustainable procurement practices. Lately, sustainability is no longer optional; it has become imperative. An integral part of this is the ability to track
carbon emissions. Companies also prefer suppliers with a lower carbon footprint. With Eyvo, you can keep track of your supplier’s and items’ carbon emissions and generate reports based on these. You can effortlessly keep track of these on our dashboard so you know exactly what is in focus.
AI in Procurement
The coming year will be the defining year for artificial intelligence (AI) in procurement. AI-powered processes are revolutionizing purchasing and supply chains by automating repetitive tasks and helping better decision-making. Eyvo is ready to embrace AI-powered automation and is already making headway toward a better user experience for our customers.
