Levelpath’s AI procurement solution was front and center across three events last week: Tomorrow’s Procurement Leaders in Austin, ProcureCon Indirect East in Orlando, and the SIG One Day event in New York. At every stop, the conversations circled back to the same themes. Procurement teams want intake that removes friction, supplier data they can actually use, and contracts that deliver answers in seconds.

Turning Intake and Supplier Data into Actionable Workflows

In Austin, the focus was on how Levelpath creates actionable workflows with intake and supplier data. Attendees watched how a plain-language request moves automatically into the right workflow. This simple interaction eliminates guesswork for the requester and gives them visibility into status from the start.

The Levelpath team also demonstrated how supplier data enrichment helps employees find what they need before creating new requests. By enriching supplier profiles with product and service details, procurement can cut down on duplicate onboarding and strengthen existing supplier relationships.

Contract intelligence was another highlight. Levelpath’s Contract Discovery Agent can search agreements and return results with lawyer-level precision. A quick query surfaces an answer in seconds and points directly to the right clause. The ability to scan across agreements in aggregate gives teams an understanding of obligations and risks without waiting on manual review.

How AI Increases Procurement Efficiency

At ProcureCon Indirect East in Orlando, the Levelpath booth delivered demos that emphasized how quickly teams can operationalize AI procurement solutions. Sourcing events were generated in minutes using AI-native RFP and questionnaire tools. The effect was immediate: teams could see how manual and fragmented work disappears, allowing procurement to spend more time on strategy.

Compliance checks created another ‘aha moment’ for attendees. Reviews of COIs and obligation tracking ran inside workflows, removing the need for manual review and surfacing potential issues early. Renewal alerts also stood out, flagging upcoming expiration dates and summarizing key terms well before deadlines.

The takeaway was clear. Leaders do not want another AI experiment. They want repeatable workflows and increased efficiency that they can rely on. Levelpath delivers exactly that.

Embedded Intelligence Over Bolted-On AI

At the SIG One-Day NY event, Levelpath Co-founder and President Stan Garber led a session and roundtable conversation that went deeper into what it means to build AI into procurement from the ground up. The message resonated: bolt-on features are not enough. AI has to be embedded into intake, contracts, and sourcing so it becomes part of everyday work. That is what being AI-native truly means.

Stan showed how Levelpath delivers intake orchestration that captures the right details upfront, contract Q&A that returns answers in minutes, and renewal information that arrives in a consistent, executive-ready format.

Roundtable participants reinforced these points, highlighting:

  • How to get started with AI that is simple to use.
  • The value of standardized outputs that speed up executive and legal reviews.
  • The importance of citations to build confidence with legal and compliance.

The discussions showed that procurement leaders are ready to move beyond testing AI. They are preparing to scale it when it supports the processes they already trust.

The Path Forward for Procurement Leaders

Across Austin, Orlando, and New York, the message was consistent. Intake must be a branded and trusted front door for the business. Supplier data must be enriched and searchable. Contracts must provide cited answers and proactive renewal alerts. Outputs must be consistent so executives can focus on decisions rather than formatting.

At Levelpath, we are focused on making these priorities real. Our AI-native platform gives procurement teams clarity, speed, and flexibility so they can spend less time on manual tasks and more time driving impact. Levelpath shows what is possible when our AI procurement solution is embedded into daily processes.
