Procol has announced that it will demonstrate its new role-based command centre to procurement leaders, with the technology designed to turn plain-language instructions into completed purchasing workflows.
Clara powers the platform, Procol’s AI orchestration layer, which can coordinate sourcing, budget verification and approval processes across existing enterprise applications. The company said early deployments have delivered up to 15 per cent lower operational processing costs, an 80 per cent reduction in procurement cycle times and a 99 per cent decline in manual interactions with procurement platforms.
The new offering targets a familiar challenge for large organisations, where procurement teams frequently move between enterprise resource planning systems, procure-to-pay platforms, email, legal applications and spreadsheets to complete individual purchasing activities. Procol’s command centre is designed to bring these steps together while allowing the underlying systems to remain in place.
“For too long, procurement teams have functioned as the manual glue holding enterprise software together,” said Gaurav Baheti, CEO, Procol. “At DPW Amsterdam 2026, we’ll demonstrate that procurement doesn’t need another static dashboard; it needs autonomous execution. Clara acts as a true digital co-worker that understands procurement context, executes actions across legacy tools, and returns completed outcomes.”
Rather than presenting users with a uniform interface, the command centre is structured around different procurement roles and workflows. Employees can describe the task they want completed in everyday language, while Clara determines the sequence of actions, engages the relevant AI agents and interacts with the appropriate enterprise applications.
For instance, a request to obtain three quotations for warehouse racking within a specified Q3 budget can initiate a sequence in which Clara identifies suitable suppliers, checks the available allocation in the ERP and sends out the request for quotation. The process can then move through quote assessment to a purchase request prepared for approval. Procol said early deployments have reduced quote-comparison turnaround from 6.4 days to one day.
The technology is also designed to address the implementation burden often associated with introducing new procurement platforms. Procol’s architecture operates over existing systems of record, including SAP, SAP Ariba, Coupa and Oracle, without requiring data migration or parallel system runs.
Clara can retrieve information from these applications and write completed actions back into them, keeping purchase orders, invoices, and audit records within the systems enterprises already use. This approach is intended to reduce manual data movement between disconnected platforms while retaining existing technology investments.
Procol’s showcase at DPW Amsterdam 2026 will highlight its broader push towards autonomous procurement execution, with the company positioning AI agents as an operational layer that can work across established enterprise software rather than requiring organisations to replace it.
