    Procurement teams seek to streamline sourcing and broader procurement to boost efficiency and value capture in the face of the various challenges such as macroeconomic uncertainties, supply chain volatilities, and geopolitical shocks that enterprises face today. Agentic AI, a configurable layer of autonomous agents, now makes it possible to generate content, derive insights, collaborate with humans-in-the-loop, invoke tools and APIs, and execute decisions end-to-end. Applied across S2P, agentic AI can triage intake, identify and qualify suppliers, assemble events and documentation, administer and monitor events, analyze proposals, support negotiation and awards, resolve PO/invoice exceptions with autonomous three-way match and fraud checks, enable guided tail-spend buying, and continuously sense third-party, ESG, and compliance risks. In this report, we examine agentic AI applications built for procurement and present detailed provider profiles, analyzing capabilities across procurement activities. The report is designed for procurement teams seeking to optimize sourcing and procurement through agentic AI by clarifying where to start and which solutions best fit their operating context.

    Enterprises are recalibrating procurement and finance operations as cost pressures, regulatory complexity, and rapid technology advancements intensify. Procure-to-Pay (P2P) products have become integral to unifying purchasing and Accounts Payable (AP) workflows, enabling organizations to automate processes, improve spend visibility, strengthen compliance, and deliver better user experiences. Stakeholders increasingly expect platforms that provide strong governance and control while supporting scalability and seamless adoption across global operations. The P2P technology landscape remains fragmented, with providers approaching the market from multiple directions: procurement-focused technology providers extending into AP, AP-centric providers moving upstream, and new entrants emphasizing low-/no-code configurability, embedded analytics, and the growing use of generative and agentic AI. Innovation is accelerating through automation-first design, intelligent insights, and extensibility enabled by supplier portals, ERP connectors, and global e-invoicing compliance. As product roadmaps converge toward unified and intelligent platforms, enterprise decision-makers should weigh functional depth, innovation velocity, usability, extensibility, and commercial flexibility when evaluating these products. In this research, we assess 14 leading P2P products, analyzing their strengths, limitations, and market positioning to guide procurement and finance leaders in selecting best-fit platforms and realizing maximum business value.

    Procurement leaders today face multifaceted challenges marked by macroeconomic uncertainties, geopolitical turmoil, evolving regulations, cost pressures, and supply chain volatility. Amid these challenges, they are expected to optimize savings, manage supplier risks, ensure compliance, and meet sustainability goals – all while constrained by fragmented, reactive legacy systems. These legacy procurement systems fall short, often leading to reactive decisions, poor visibility, compliance lapses, and operational inefficiencies. This Viewpoint introduces Systems of Execution (SoE) as the next evolution for procurement: an intelligent, autonomous decision-execution framework orchestrating AI agents and operating seamlessly across the Source-to-Pay (S2P) value chain. By overlaying and embedding SoE capabilities into existing systems, procurement organizations can shift from static, reactive processes to dynamic, proactive workflows, enabling an intelligent, autonomous, agile, and execution-oriented procurement ecosystem. Scope All industries and geographies Contents In this report, we explore: SoE-led procurement transformation Functional transformation across the S2P value chain An implementation roadmap for procurement Strategic considerations for chief procurement officers
