Every procurement team is working out which parts of the process to hand to AI, and which still need human judgement.
We’ll be digging into exactly that with an expert panel of maritime procurement leaders from Dockendale and Carnival
You’ll see AI assistance run live across the workflow:
Supplier quotes parsed and shortlisted in seconds
Compliance documentation collected and verified at the point of purchase
Automated invoice matching that catches freight variances and exceptions before they eat up your day
$14M
stopped before it left the account
50,000+
suppliers reached by RFQs
~$60k
saved per vessel per year through Purchaser AI
