From Strategy to Execution Capacity

While many organizations possess clear procurement strategies, they often lack the human capacity to execute negotiations and policy enforcement at scale. Pactum’s agentic AI platform addresses this by deploying "trusted agents" that work alongside human procurement teams. These agents operate with defined authority to find negotiation opportunities and close supplier deals around the clock. By automating the high-volume, labor-intensive aspects of procurement, enterprises can expand their operational agility without increasing headcount or operational complexity.

Real-World Application at AstraZeneca

The presentation by Lidia Korbel of AstraZeneca and Kaspar Korjus of Pactum will detail the practical lessons learned from deploying AI agents within a highly regulated global environment. Attendees will gain insight into how these agents align procurement requests in real time to ensure data quality and adherence to corporate policy. Crucially, the agents deliver auditable and transparent outcomes, ensuring that autonomous negotiations remain within the organization’s governance structure while integrating directly with existing software ecosystems.

Strengthening the Coupa Partnership

Pactum’s elevation to Platinum Partner status within the Coupa App Marketplace highlights the platform's enterprise-grade security and proven ROI. This deeper integration allows Coupa users to embed autonomous negotiation tools directly into their existing procurement workflows. By identifying savings opportunities and reducing manual workloads, the partnership helps transform procurement departments from traditional cost centers into strategic sources of competitive advantage.

"Most organizations are not struggling with procurement strategy, they are struggling with execution capacity. With AstraZeneca, we are demonstrating a real-world case study where autonomous AI agents have been activated to operate within clear policy enforcement to deliver outcomes that generate tangible business impacts." — Kaspar Korjus, Co-Founder and CEO of Pactum

"Joining Pactum at Coupa Inspire is a significant opportunity to show how agentic AI is being used to transform daily procurement processes. AI solutions are new and powerful tools that, if used correctly, can produce results that we're proud to share." — Lidia Korbel, Procurement Technology & Insights Director at AstraZeneca
