Budgets are tightening and costs are rising, as inflation continues to challenge procurement and finance leaders. But what if you could turn that volatility into visibility – and take control? 

In this blog, taken from Beroe’s An Introduction to Real Autonomous Negotiation, we examine how a field once reserved for economists and academics is today being used to reshape commercial negotiations.

Beroe recently published An Introduction to Real Autonomous Negotiation, the industry’s first comprehensive explainer on the transformative potential of autonomous negotiation in procurement.  

Procurement teams today need more than hindsight – they need foresight they can act on. Global volatility, unpredictable price swings, shifting tariffs, and supply chain bottlenecks have made reactive reporting a liability. CFOs now demand forecasts they can trust, stakeholders expect confident decision-making, and suppliers bring their own “facts” to the table. The pressure is on procurement leaders to move from firefighting to foresight. 

Procurement is asked to deliver more savings, faster cycles, and stronger governance, but often with no additional headcount.

Procurement today is under relentless pressure, from volatile markets and tariffs to shifting supply chains and cost shocks. CFOs are demanding credible forecasts and proactive strategies, not backward-looking reports. How can procurement leaders deliver?

At the inaugural ProcureTEX event in September, Beroe published An Introduction to Real Autonomous Negotiation, the industry’s first comprehensive explainer on the transformative potential of autonomous negotiation in procurement.  

Procurement has always been about balancing cost, risk, and supplier relationships. But in today’s environment – marked by shifting tariffs, inflationary pressures, geopolitical uncertainty, and supply chain volatility – leaders need something more: foresight.

The global steel industry is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by infrastructure growth, urbanization, and renewable energy investments.

Modern-day warehouses function as highly complex, technology-driven hubs at the heart of global supply chains. Equipped with advanced inventory management systems, robotics, and real-time data analytics, they must balance speed, accuracy, and efficiency to meet rising consumer demands.

Autonomous negotiation has become one of the most talked-about technology trends in procurement, but hype often outpaces clarity.This guide gives practitioners a clear, practical view of what autonomous negotiations really mean, how they work, and why they matter. Learn how autonomy can scale expertise, accelerate decision cycles, and unlock new value across the sourcing lifecycle.
