AI-Powered Sourcing Co-Pilot with Stora Enso

Stora Enso, a global leader in renewable materials, aims to modernize and streamline its sourcing operations through cutting-edge AI solutions. Sourcing, a critical function, involves complex, time-intensive, and knowledge-driven tasks that currently suffer from inefficiencies and quality variability.

To address this, Stora Enso envisions an AI-powered sourcing co-pilot that integrates seamlessly into sourcing workflows. Trained with best-in-team knowledge and sourcing data such as playbooks and templates, the solution could standardize outcomes, reduce errors, and optimize the sourcing process. In detail, this solution would:

1. Assist business owners in drafting high-quality purchase need descriptions.
2. Support sourcing experts in creating fit-for-purpose Request-for-Proposals (RFPs) tailored to potential bidders.
3. Evaluate incoming bids against deliverables and requirements for alignment and completeness.
4. Generate a robust first draft of contracts based on predefined templates while incorporating previous deliverables and feedback loops.

The solution needs to be customizable to align with Stora Enso’s unique requirements. A Proof of Concept (PoC) or pilot project offers an opportunity to validate the approach before scaling across operations, starting with a defined category such as professional services. If your AI solution can help transform sourcing processes into a seamless, knowledge-driven workflow, Stora Enso is eager to hear from you and explore the potential!

This is a unique opportunity to work closely with Stora Enso on real-world challenges and test your solutions in a practical, industrial environment. By piloting with Stora Enso, you gain the chance to validate and scale your innovations, with the potential to unlock long-term partnerships and broader opportunities across Stora Enso’s global operations. Stora Enso is excited to collaborate on AI innovations that challenge the status quo and shape the future of sourcing operations.
