GEP Leads Procurement’s AI Evolution with Agential AI at London 2025 Workshop

In the forefront of propelling procurement’s AI revolution, GEP is poised to showcase how autonomous AI systems can revolutionize conventional buying processes at the Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE London 2025 event. The focus will be on “agential AI,” a term used for AI systems capable of independent decision-making rather than just responding to user instructions.

The workshop aims to address the growing necessity for procurement teams to adapt their operations, given the mounting geopolitical tensions causing supply chain disruptions and the need for innovative strategies to comply with evolving sustainability regulations. These challenges have driven companies to seek AI solutions that require minimal human intervention.

GEP, a global leader in providing AI-driven transformation services to businesses worldwide, has established a strong reputation for assisting procurement departments in navigating complexities. With its software platforms serving over 1,000 companies across 30 industries, including brands such as Kellogg’s, Macy’s, Tesco, and Costa Coffee, GEP is well-positioned to lead this transformation.

Traditional AI in procurement has primarily focused on chatbot interfaces and basic automation. Agential AI represents a significant leap forward, with systems designed to learn from patterns, anticipate issues, and execute decisions without constant human supervision. This autonomous capability presents an opportunity for procurement teams, often stretched thin, to manage routine decisions while focusing on strategic priorities.

GEP has made substantial investments in developing these advanced capabilities, acknowledging the broadened role of procurement beyond traditional purchasing.
