How We Slashed Enterprise Procurement Time from 6 Weeks to 48 Hours
EY Studio+
2026
Overview
Enterprises waste 40% of their IT budgets on mismatched solutions due to fragmented procurement processes (Gartner, 2024). Users face decision fatigue when navigating siloed service catalogs and lack the tools to align technical specs with financial constraints. This project wasn’t just about designing a tool. It was about fundamentally rethinking how enterprises approach procurement. By replacing static forms and fragmented workflows with an AI-driven, conversational interface, we reduced the average procurement time from 6 weeks to just 48 hours. The key was balancing automation with the user having control: The chat interface guided users without overwhelming them. The scope editor and cost modeling tools empowered teams to refine solutions in real time. Transparency features like match percentages and forecast KPIs built trust and drove faster decision-making. The result? A platform that doesn’t just save time but also helps users make smarter, more confident decisions. By aligning technical solutions with business goals, we turned procurement from a frustrating chore into a collaborative, data-driven process.
