Here’s what we discussed:

Finance teams are becoming overwhelmed. Supply chain inconsistencies and global inflation have increased pressure on costs and transparency. Instead of focusing on strategic value drivers for the organisation, they are buried in repetitive, lower-value tasks.

Forward-looking companies are looking to AI/ML-powered automation to lighten the load. In this roundtable luncheon discussion we covered ways finance teams are using advanced automation tools to:

Identify key and strategic suppliers
Locate which categories incur the most cost
Establish how much of your spend is catalogue versus punchout
View spending by supplier, category, and department to aid contract negotiations and supplier dialogue
Transform the AP function to operate by exceptions only
Find new ways to consolidate and structure the finance back office

I think it’s really a must-attend event for CX professionals. I’ve gone to other events in the past and this surpasses all of them.

Kimberly Carpenter

Director, Large Business Customer Experience, NRG Energy

A lot of other conferences I’ve gone to are driven off a podium, someone presenting me a solution before they understand my problem. Here I have an opportunity to talk to my peers and learn from them.

Ryan Smith

Sr. Director Care Strategy & CX, GoDaddy

I’m not part of some enormous crowd out there. I’m getting lot of interaction, hearing from people, their own personal stories. Individual examples of how people are leveraging their CX skills in their industry, in their business, in the work that they do everyday.

Nicholas Zeisler

Principal, Zeisler Consulting

Very intimate, Very one-on-one! You are able to really get a lot of candid responses, so we’re getting a ton of value from that and a lot of valuable insights.
