start up exchange programme
The GSA has heard time and time again from our enterprise buyers that they want to partner with smaller, innovative businesses but they don’t know how to find them. So, we listened! The GSA is excited to announce its partnership with GSOS (Global Sourcing Optimization Services), a US-based boutique advisory firm focused on assisting unique start-up/early-stage companies involved in bringing digital innovation through intelligent automation to enterprises worldwide. This industry first partnership will bring a portfolio of 12 innovative tech start-ups to GSA members in the form of an Intelligent Automation Exchange (IAE) – all of which are disrupting sourcing with leading-edge technologies.
A huge range of sourcing related processes are being reimagined and radically improved by digital innovation through the use of AI/Intelligent Automation. Benefits include:
- addressing rampant inflation through predictive costing/pricing,
- optimising supplier bidding processes, costs and risks through suggestive bidding,
- direct, easy, fast & secure sharing of any size/type of file without a need for side boxes or drives,
- dramatically reduce the time, costs, resources and risks associated with supplier contracting,
- using AI & Blockchain to ensure sustainability of your suppliers and supply chains,
The GSA, together with GSOS, is really excited to be introducing our members to our portfolio of 12 proven companies that are all revolutionising critical aspects of sourcing as part of the IAE and to show you the new art of the possible in sourcing thanks to latest digital innovations.
