Benelux: Beyond S2P from (I2O) Intake to Outcomes with Agentic AI

For Benelux procurement teams, a single request is no longer simple. “I need a new HR time-tracking tool” now triggers ten checks —preferred supplier, solvency, GDPR, DORA/NIS2, ESG/CSRD, B2B e-invoicing readiness, finance validation, ERP master data, and more. Add an 8% workload increase heading into 2026, and the gap between intake and outcome is where savings, speed, and compliance quietly leak away.

This on-demand session — Beyond S2P: From Intake to Outcomes (I2O) with Agentic AI — shows how Zycus’ Merlin AI agents close that gap. Not GenAI copilots. Autonomous agents that take a plain-language request and orchestrate it all the way to a supplier-ready, PO-created, contract-prepared, invoice-compliant outcome — with humans firmly in control of the high-stakes decisions.

You’ll also hear two independent procurement voices — Raoul Gröning (Kalaidos University) on why everyday requests still create friction, and Prof. David Loseby (Leeds University Business School) on the state of modern procurement and why high performers choose augmentation over pure automation.

What you’ll see:

• Why a “simple” Benelux request now carries 10+ compliance and validation checks — and where AI removes the friction
• The full Intake-to-Outcomes journey live: AI intake → orchestration (supplier validation, approval routing, contract prep, ERP & finance) → measurable outcome
• Governance by design — guardrails, full audit trail, and human approval so procurement owns sourcing strategy, supplier selection, and final approval
• Automation vs augmentation — a decision lens for every category, and why the augmentation path drives long-term growth
• The Merlin Agentic Platform and Autonomous Negotiation Agent (ANA) tackling the tail-spend problem
• Real outcomes: +20% spend under management, 5–9% tail-spend savings, +40% NPS growth

A live demo of Agentic AI in action closes the session.
