How AI Agents for Procurement Shaped the Conversation at DPW Amsterdam

From canal-side conversations to center-stage moments, Levelpath brought AI-native energy to DPW Amsterdam 2025. The event was filled with procurement professionals eager to explore how AI Agents for procurement are transforming the way teams lead sourcing events, collaborate, and deliver strategic value.

Throughout the event, Levelpath showed how our AI Agents help organizations automate complexity, accelerate cycle times, and give procurement teams more time to focus on strategy. Each interaction reflected the same shift happening across the industry: procurement is moving faster, operating smarter, and keeping human strategy integrated with intelligent automation.

Here are five ways Levelpath helped shape the conversation in Amsterdam:

Levelpath arrived ready to engage the global procurement community with a bold, AI-native vision. At the booth, attendees explored how intelligent automation can simplify intake, sourcing, and supplier management while creating transparency at every stage.

Procurement leaders were eager to see how Levelpath’s AI Agents help eliminate friction between business stakeholders and procurement teams. The conversations confirmed what the industry is feeling: the AI-native shift is here, and procurement is quickly becoming one of its most important applications.

The week began with a dinner hosted by Levelpath, where a select group of executives came together for thoughtful, open discussion. The dinner brought together procurement leaders from across industries to exchange ideas on AI adoption, automation, and what it means to modernize procurement in 2025.

What made the evening special was not just the setting but the spirit of collaboration. Guests shared how they are using technology to make procurement more connected to the business and how they see AI creating new capacity for innovation. As discussions turned to the future of intake and sourcing, one theme kept surfacing: intelligent support is no longer optional.

Throughout the two-day conference, the Levelpath booth became a destination for energy, conversation, and connection. With lots of swag and mind-blowing demos, the Levelpath team made a lasting impression on attendees from around the world.

Attendees experienced how Levelpath’s AI Agents support real results including faster sourcing events, shorter contract cycles, and better collaboration across stakeholders. Conversations centered on tangible business outcomes and measurable impact.

Procurement professionals were clear about what they wanted from AI: simplicity, adaptability, and speed. They found that in Levelpath’s AI-native approach.

On Thursday morning, Alex Yakubovich and Stan Garber took Center Stage to deliver one of the event’s most talked-about sessions: From Grind to Greatness: The AI-Native Advantage.

They began by reflecting on Levelpath’s journey from its founding roots with Scout RFP to its present as a leading innovator in AI-native procurement. The message was clear: procurement teams no longer need to be burdened by manual processes and disconnected tools. For every procurement challenge you face, we have Agents for that. 

The session walked attendees through a vision of procurement where every major function including sourcing, stakeholder intake, contract management, and risk evaluation can be supported by AI Agents for procurement purpose-built for that workflow.

Alex & Stan demonstrated how this approach is already delivering results:

• 10X capacity for sourcing: Procurement teams are managing more complex sourcing events with the same headcount.
• 5 minute contract review: Legal teams are cutting review cycles from thirty-six hours down to just five minutes. 
• 3000+ hours saved: Healthcare organizations are reclaiming thousands of hours through automated contract data analysis.

These examples showed that AI-native is not just a technology shift but a redefinition of procurement’s role inside the business. Alex closed the session by reminding the audience that procurement’s future is not about tools but about being empowered to focus on strategic work.

The crowd’s response reflected what the Levelpath team had seen all week. Procurement leaders are ready to move beyond the grind, and they now have Levelpath’s AI Agents to help them do it.

Throughout DPW Amsterdam, conversations kept circling back to one truth: procurement’s vocabulary is changing. The next chapter will not be defined by forms, queues, and manual routing. It will be defined by intelligent collaboration guided by AI Agents that understand the business and work alongside humans.

Levelpath also joined CPO Strategy for an interview to discuss how organizations are embedding AI into procurement DNA. They shared how Levelpath’s AI Agents enable global enterprises to scale without friction and connect procurement more deeply with the rest of the organization.

By the end of the conference, the message was unmistakable. Wherever procurement challenges arose, the answer was the same: We have Agents for that.

DPW Amsterdam confirmed that AI Agents for procurement are reshaping how organizations work, think, and collaborate. What once required manual oversight now happens in seconds. What once demanded effort now delivers intelligence.

For Levelpath, the week was not just about showing technology but about showing possibility. Procurement’s future will be more efficient and less manual because now, we have Agents for that.
