In a world of increasing economic pressure and complexity, procurement leaders are facing a clear imperative: move faster, operate smarter, and deliver more strategic value. At the heart of this shift lies a powerful new tool – AI agents – and their impact on spend analytics is already reshaping the way global enterprises make sourcing decisions.

We recently hosted a webinar exploring this very topic, exploring how AI agents are moving procurement from reactive reporting to proactive analysis and action. Here are five key takeaways:

1. Data Visibility Is No Longer Enough – Action Is the New Benchmark
For years, procurement has struggled with fragmented data across siloed systems. Traditional dashboards and reports can only take you so far – they show what is happening, but not why, and certainly not what to do next. That’s where AI agents come in.

Globality’s AI agent, Glo, operates in real time to deliver instant, contextual insights drawn from enterprise-wide spend data. But it doesn’t stop there. Glo turns those insights into recommended actions, giving teams the ability to course-correct, launch sourcing events, or drive compliance – without waiting for manual analysis or spreadsheet wrangling.

As Keith McFarlane, Globality’s Chief Technology Officer, noted: “It’s about turning insight into action—automatically, intuitively, and at scale.”

2. AI Agents Amplify Human Intelligence, Not Replace It
Contrary to common fears around AI, Globality’s approach emphasizes augmentation, not automation in isolation. Glo is designed to act as a collaborative partner—surfacing trends, flagging anomalies, and recommending next steps—while keeping human decision-makers firmly in control.

Lior Delgo, Globality Co-Founder and President said: “Think of Glo like a digital sourcing expert that works 24/7, has full visibility across all your data, and never misses a detail. But it still puts the human at the center of the decision-making process.”

This partnership allows procurement teams to move faster without sacrificing strategic thinking, freeing up valuable time for innovation and supplier collaboration.

3. Speed, Savings, and Strategy – All at Once
From large multinational organizations to complex public sector institutions, Glo is already driving measurable results:

• Cost savings through smarter supplier choices and reduced maverick spend
• Faster cycle times by eliminating manual RFPs and automating routine processes
• Strategic alignment by connecting sourcing actions directly to business objectives

What used to take days of back-and-forth between procurement and business stakeholders can now happen in minutes—with consistency, compliance, and confidence. As one of Globality’s G2000 customers put it, “It’s like having a sourcing team that never sleeps and always knows the right next move.”

4. Built for the Enterprise, Ready for Tomorrow
Unlike point solutions or traditional analytics tools, Glo is built to scale with the world’s largest companies. Whether managing thousands of suppliers, multiple business units, or diverse global categories, Glo learns from your data and adapts to your unique context.

And because it’s conversational and intuitive, adoption is fast – business users and procurement professionals alike can engage with Glo in natural language, getting real answers and sourcing advice quickly and easily.

5. The Future Is Proactive Procurement
This isn’t just about better dashboards. It’s about changing the role of procurement from a cost center to a strategic driver of value. AI agents like Glo represent a seismic shift: from passive analytics to active decision support. They enable organizations to ask not just what happened, but what should we do next – and then act swiftly to drive better business outcomes.
