Conversational AI and autonomous sourcing in procurement
Kenvue embedded conversational AI and autonomous sourcing tools in daily procurement work
Problem
Kenvue's procurement teams worked across fragmented systems and spent time finding information before making decisions.
Approach
The company cleaned procurement master data and consolidated processes before expanding AI use. Teams used conversational AI to retrieve information and AI features in existing suppliers' tools for tail-spend management and autonomous sourcing.
Results
No published figures
Takeaway
Kenvue reported daily AI use but did not disclose savings attributable to these tools alone.
