AI driven Transformation

?? Four examples for AI Transformation in Procurement and Operations to watch

Following up on my last post on EuroCIS 2025 (link here Posten | Feed | LinkedIn). AI is a hot topic—but its true impact goes beyond marketing. Therefore, I was searching for examples that are focusing more on use cases focused on procurement and operations. Here are four examples how companies use AI to transform their core business operations:

1. bonprix – AI-Powered Fashion Creation

bonprix has introduced the Fashion Creation App, an AI tool designed to inspire and enhance fashion design processes. This innovative application:

? Generates unique design ideas based on trends and brand aesthetics ? Supports fashion teams by offering AI-assisted creativity and efficiency

By integrating AI into the creative process, bonprix is revolutionizing how fashion collections are conceptualized and developed.

2. Siemens – AI for Procurement Compliance

Siemens uses AI to optimize tax code management in procurement. Their AI-powered Tax Checker:

? Identifies incorrect tax codes in purchase orders ? Suggests corrections, reducing manual work ? Improves accuracy & compliance

This automation reduces financial risks and enhances procurement efficiency.

3. Zara – AI-Driven Inventory Optimization

Zara leverages AI for real-time inventory tracking, embedding microchips in clothing items to:

? Monitor demand trends & adjust stock levels dynamically ? Optimize inventory across stores & warehouses ? Minimize overstock & waste

This ensures Zara meets customer demand while reducing excess inventory costs.

4. Coca-Cola – AI for Supply Chain Efficiency

Coca-Cola, in partnership with Microsoft, uses AI to streamline procurement & logistics:

? Enhances demand forecasting for better procurement planning ? Reduces waste & optimizes inventory ? Improves supply chain efficiency

AI-driven insights help Coca-Cola cut costs while ensuring operational agility.

The Bottom Line: AI is also revolutionizing procurement, inventory management, and supply chains, driving efficiency, and reducing costs.
