Episode notes
In this episode of Enterprise Tech with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into the quiet revolution happening inside Fortune 500 procurement departments: AI agents that negotiate contracts, flag supplier risks, and automate purchase orders. They focus on the specific case of Johnson & Johnson, which deployed an AI-powered procurement agent from Coupa across its 250 operating companies. Lucas explains how the agent reduced purchase-order cycle time from four days to four hours, while Luna questions whether this is incremental automation or a genuine shift in how enterprises manage spend. They also discuss the tension between procurement teams who love the efficiency and suppliers who find negotiating with a bot frustrating. A sharp, specific look at how software is reshaping the back office of the world's biggest companies. #ProcurementAI #EnterpriseSoftware #Coupa #JohnsonAndJohnson #AIagents #Fortune500 #ProcurementAutomation #SupplierNegotiation #BusinessTechnology #Podcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EnterpriseTech #Procurement #AIinBusiness #SpendManagement #SAP #Workday Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
