Last week, in the heart of San Francisco, we witnessed something extraordinary. Our November Customer Connect was a celebration of what is possible when visionary procurement leaders come together. As I looked around the room later that evening at Ozumo, I saw partners in reimagining the future of procurement.

The energy was electric, the conversations transformative. Even the Ozumo staff, accustomed to corporate gatherings, remarked on the unique buzz in the air. This was Levelpath’s community in action, challenging the status quo and pushing the boundaries of what procurement can achieve.Thank you!

Accelerating Innovation Through Customer Partnership

At Levelpath, we have always believed that true innovation comes from close collaboration with our customers. This event reinforced that belief tenfold. Our development and product teams have been working tirelessly, delivering weekly releases that keep our platform at the cutting edge of procurement technology. From enhanced sourcing capabilities to streamlined contract management, every update is driven by a single goal: empowering our customers to achieve procurement excellence.

As Alex noted during his presentation, “Every feature we release is a direct response to the challenges and aspirations our customers share with us. It is this feedback loop that keeps us ahead of the curve.”

AI Takes Center Stage

The AI buzz was undeniable. Our AI Assistant is not just a tool; they are revolutionizing procurement workflows. The customer feedback is shaping their evolution in real-time. During our interactive sessions, we heard from trailblazers like Zendesk and Qualtrics, who shared invaluable insights about their AI Assistant experiences. Their suggestions for customizable prompts and the ability to pin crucial information for future reference are already being incorporated into our development roadmap.

Voice of the Customer: Shaping Tomorrow's Solutions

The depth of customer engagement was evident in every discussion. Customers emphasized the importance of streamlined contact management, highlighting how this simplifies change management processes. Others provided crucial feedback about how organizations track and report their procurement impact.

One of the most exciting moments came during our discussion on reporting and analytics. The conversation around AI-powered reporting sparked by insights from partners who showcased our community’s appetite for more sophisticated data analysis tools. As our Head of Design, Ken, remarked, “This is why we do these events. The insights we gain here will shape the future of procurement analytics.”

Looking Ahead: 2025 Customer Advisory Board

In response to the incredible engagement from our community, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our Customer Advisory Board in 2025. This initiative represents our commitment to deepening customer partnerships and ensuring our roadmap continues to align with real-world procurement challenges.

The Path Forward

As we reflect on the success of our November Connect, one thing becomes clear: the future of procurement technology is being shaped by the very people who use it every day. The insights shared, questions raised, and connections made during this event will directly influence our product development, ensuring that Levelpath continues to deliver solutions that transform procurement operations.

Our weekly release recaps and monthly virtual updates will keep this momentum going, providing regular touchpoints for our community to stay engaged with Levelpath’s evolution. As we approach the holiday season, we’re filled with gratitude for our customers’ partnership and excited about the innovations we’ll create together in the coming year.

The spirit of collaboration that filled the room at Ozumo isn’t just about one gathering, it is about the ongoing partnership between Levelpath and our customer community, working together to redefine what’s possible in procurement. Join us on this journey of Delightful Procurement. The future of procurement excellence is being built right here hand in hand, together. I can not wait for our first Customer Advisory Board Session until then, wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! — Stan
