Why should Procurement care about Autonomous Commerce?
The procurement angle
Procurement should care about Autonomous Commerce when evaluating it as a vendor solution. Key procurement criteria include deployment timeline, autonomy rate at reference customers, ERP coverage, security compliance, and pricing model. Vendors with proven deployments at named customers in the same industry typically outperform unknowns in production.

Frequently asked questions
What does the status quo cost?
Manual processing caps throughput per employee, introduces order errors, and forces reactive customer service. Capacity that should flow to growth flows to rework. The cost compounds with order volume.
How fast can the gap be closed?
The first autonomous channel ships in 6 to 12 weeks. Coverage scales to 80 percent autonomy within 6 to 9 months. New regions and channels add in days, not months.
Who feels the impact first?
Customer service stops drowning in manual rework. Sales sees faster turnaround on quotes and orders. Finance sees cost per order drop and DSO tighten. IT sees fewer scripts to maintain.
