Procurement teams today need more than hindsight – they need foresight they can act on. Global volatility, unpredictable price swings, shifting tariffs, and supply chain bottlenecks have made reactive reporting a liability. CFOs now demand forecasts they can trust, stakeholders expect confident decision-making, and suppliers bring their own “facts” to the table. The pressure is on procurement leaders to move from firefighting to foresight. 

At the inaugural ProcureTEX event in September, Beroe published An Introduction to Real Autonomous Negotiation, the industry’s first comprehensive explainer on the transformative potential of autonomous negotiation in procurement.  

The global steel industry is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by infrastructure growth, urbanization, and renewable energy investments.

Modern-day warehouses function as highly complex, technology-driven hubs at the heart of global supply chains. Equipped with advanced inventory management systems, robotics, and real-time data analytics, they must balance speed, accuracy, and efficiency to meet rising consumer demands.

Autonomous negotiation has become one of the most talked-about technology trends in procurement, but hype often outpaces clarity.This guide gives practitioners a clear, practical view of what autonomous negotiations really mean, how they work, and why they matter. Learn how autonomy can scale expertise, accelerate decision cycles, and unlock new value across the sourcing lifecycle.

Key takeaways from Beroe’s recent In the Know: Product Showcase webinar on managing tariff volatility and optimizing sourcing strategies.

The EU sugar market is undergoing a structural shift. Sugar beet acreage is projected to decline by 7 percent in the 2025/26 season, driven primarily by lower processor price signals and reduced planting incentives.

AI in drug testing applies machine learning (ML), natural language processing (NLP), and data mining to enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and speed of preclinical and clinical testing. Applications include in silico modeling, toxicity prediction, virtual screening, and patient response modeling.

In 2025, procurement leaders face one of the most challenging pricing environments of the last decade. Inflationary pressures, while easing in some regions, continue to fluctuate unpredictably across categories, geographies, and supply chains. For global procurement teams, this volatility translates into heightened risk for category planning, supplier relationships, and budget forecasting. 

In today’s commodity markets, volatility is no longer an exception; it's the norm. Structural shifts in global supply chains, evolving production technologies, policy interventions, and repeated logistical disruptions have eroded the reliability of traditional pricing mechanisms.

The final chapter of Beroe’s Future Vision report, “Artificial Intelligence: Real Decisions”, lays out a practical roadmap to help procurement teams turn AI ambition into action. It’s not about reinventing the wheel; it’s about starting smart, learning fast, and scaling with confidence. 

In the penultimate chapter of Beroe’s Future Vision report, “Artificial Intelligence: Real Decisions”, we explore embedding intelligence into the very fabric of how procurement teams work. It isn’t about flashy features, temporary fixes, or experimental pilots; it’s about building AI that can deliver ongoing real value.
