She also emphasised that many of the challenges confronting procurement professionals could be effectively addressed through digital tools. However, these tools, whether for risk management, e-auctions, or sustainability databases, often exist in isolation and are difficult to integrate into a cohesive toolset. Digital platforms, she noted, have the potential to unify these disparate elements into a seamless experience. The discussions and panel sessions also delved into strategies for mitigating supply chain risks, managing volatility and promoting sustainability.
