The article focuses on the transformative potential of agentic AI—autonomous AI systems capable of reasoning and acting independently—in enterprise procurement functions. Despite procurement’s strong fit for agentic AI due to its economic visibility, structured workflows, and persistent inefficiencies, adoption remains low primarily because of organizational barriers such as accountability concerns, fragmented ownership, and poor data quality. Case studies from major companies demonstrate significant improvements in supplier onboarding, compliance monitoring, and negotiation outcomes when procurement leads AI deployment with clear governance, data infrastructure, and value-based measurement. The article concludes that successful integration of agentic AI in procurement requires redesigning operating models around the technology rather than layering it onto existing processes, with procurement owning end-to-end responsibility to capture measurable financial benefits.
